LITTLE ROCK – The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wants to hear from turkey hunters. The agency is looking for feedback from hunters as the AGFC begins the process of setting the 2010 spring turkey hunting regulations.

The meetings will be held Aug. 25 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be 11 public meetings held around the state that will give turkey hunters their chance to have a voice in the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s annual regulations process.

To find out more about the AGFC’s proposals for the 2010 spring turkey hunting season, go to www.agfc.com, then attend one of the public meetings. If you’re not able to attend one of these meetings, comment online or by phone at (800) 364-GAME (4263). You may also mail your comments to AGFC, Attn: Spring Turkey Regulations, 2 Natural Resources Dr., Little Rock, AR 72205. Your comments must reach the AGFC by Sept. 30.
