Refuge Seeks Public Input on Draft Hunt Plan and Environmental Assessment

Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge), in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, has prepared a draft Environmental Assessment (EA), Hunt Plan and Compatibility Determination for opening a portion of the refuge to hunting of doves (white-winged, mourning, Eurasian collared dove and rock pigeon). The refuge considered whether to maintain the current hunting program (no dove hunting) or allow limited dove public dove hunting for youth/adult hunters (the proposed action). Copies of these documents are available for review at the refuge headquarters and on the refuge website located at: http://www.fws.gov/refuges/anahuac/

The public is encouraged to submit written comments to: Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, Attn: Hunt Plan/EA, P.O. Box 278, Anahuac, TX 77514. Written comments will be accepted until 4:30 pm on Friday, October 21, 2015.
