Hunting could expand at Eufaula Wildlife Refuge
DOTHAN, Ala (WDHN) — Hunting opportunities could expand at Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is asking for your comments!
The USFWS proposed to include the hunting of mourning doves, Eurasian-collared doves, ducks, geese, gray squirrels, white-tailed deer, and feral hogs at the refuge.
Waterfowl hunting opportunities will be spaced-blind and assigned through a lottery system.
Hunters wishing to participate in the waterfowl hunts must submit a Waterfowl Lottery Application.
Under this proposal, a youth hunter (10-15) must be under the supervision of a licensed adult hunter. Only one adult can legally supervise no ore than 2 youth hunters at a time.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is asking for public comments on the proposals until June 30.
Public comments can be submitted here.
