The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be hosting listening sessions through the Iowa Communications Network on fall hunting and trapping regulations across the state on Wednesday, Feb. 22. Sac City has been included as one of those sites. The sessions will run from 6 to 9 p.m. and the public is invited to provide their thoughts on the fall season. The meetings, a part of the process for making rules in state government, are used to ensure that rule changes serve the public’s wishes and do not impact Iowa’s economy. At each site, DNR staff will facilitate the discussions about what went well last fall, what didn’t and what changes hunters and trappers would like to see for this fall. Any changes that are going to be made must be approved by the Natural Resource Commission and then go back to the public for further comment before going into effect. ICN meeting locations can be found at the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting.
