Committee:
Regulations
Date:
November 17, 2011
Explanation:
The 2012 turkey season proposals were presented to the
			 Regulations Committee at the September meeting for consideration. The turkey
			 team met on October 11, 2011 and has proposed to reduce the season length 2
			 days. The new recommendations are as follows:
* Special Youth Turkey Hunt o April 7-8, 2012 in all open turkey
			 zones, limit two bearded turkeys, no more than one jake.
* Turkey Zones 1, 2, 3, 4B, 5, 5B, 6, 7, 7A, 8,9,10 and 17
o April 14-April 29, 2012, limit two bearded turkeys, no jakes
			 allowed except youth hunters may harvest one jake.
* Turkey Zones 4, 4A, 5A and 9A
o April 14-April 24, 2012, limit one bearded turkey, no jakes
			 allowed except youth hunters may harvest one jake.
* Turkey Zone 1A is closed.
* No more than one turkey may be taken per day, and no more than
			 two turkeys may be taken in any combination of open turkey zones. Youth may
			 only take one jake during the season, either during the youth hunt or statewide
			 hunt. Wildlife Management Area and National Wildlife Refuge recommended seasons
			 and bag limits have been adjusted to comply with these recommendations.
Proposed recommended changes that are new for this season were
			 also presented as follows:
* Eliminate the permit requirement for the youth turkey hunt on
			 Bayou Meto, Beryl Anthony Lower Ouachita, Scott Henderson Gulf Mountain, and
			 Trusten Holder WMAs. The hunts would be open to youth hunters without the need
			 for applying and paying for a permit.
* Eliminate the preference point system for permit-based turkey
			 hunts on Wildlife Management Areas. The preference point system has already
			 been eliminated for the deer and alligator permit-based hunts.
* Creation of a walk-in only turkey hunting area on Petit Jean
			 WMA.

NO LIABILITY FOR WILDLIFE
		  DAMAGES.
Pursuant to Amendment 35 of the Arkansas Constitution, the
			 Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is responsible for the control, management,
			 restoration, conservation and regulation of the birds, fish, game and wildlife
			 resources of the State as trustee for the use and common benefit of the people.
			 The Commission fulfills its responsibilities through legal application and
			 administration of the State's wildlife laws and regulations. However, in doing
			 so, it generally is not within the Commission's ability to control the habits
			 or actions of all of the individual wild animals throughout Arkansas so as to
			 prevent them from causing incidental injury or damage. Therefore, it is the
			 policy of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, consistent with the common law
			 of the United States, that neither the Commission while acting in its sovereign
			 capacity as trustee of the State's wildlife resources, nor any of its
			 commissioners or employees, shall be held liable for any claims for personal
			 injury, death, or property damage caused by the actions or habits of wildlife
			 managed for all of the people. .

Arkansas Administrative Code › Agency 002 - Game and Fish Commission › Rule 002.00.12-012 - Rule Adding the State of Texas to the list of States Subject to a Cervid Carcass Importation Restriction

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
Proposed Adding the State of Texas to the list of States
			 Subject to a Cervid Carcass Importation Restriction Addendum
			 Approval
Committee:
Regulations
Date:
August 16,
			 2012
Explanation:
Recently the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD)
			 discovered that two mule deer tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)
			 in El Paso and Hudspeth Counties. To increase protection of Arkansas' cervid
			 resource, last month the AGFC Deer Team recommended the entire state of Texas
			 be placed on the Carcass Importation Restriction regulation. Any carcass
			 originating from Texas that is a member of the Cervidae family (deer, elk,
			 moose, red deer, etc.) may not enter the state of Arkansas unless certain
			 disease prevention measures are taken; such as skulls or skull plates are clean
			 and meat has been deboned. An AGFC carcass importation requirement currently
			 exists for 18 other states or Canadian provinces. This action will increase
			 Arkansas' prevention of CWD entering our state and jeopardizing our native
			 cervid resources.
Prepared by:
Cory Gray
S1.01
LIST OF CWD POSITIVE AREAS
The following states and Canadian provinces are designated CWD
			 positive: Alberta,
Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan*, Minnesota,
			 Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West
			 Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Saskatchewan
, Texas
and any other
			 state or province where a positive case of CWD has been confirmed by the U.S.
			 Department of Agriculture or Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
*States and provinces where CWD has been found only in captive
			 cervids.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
2013 Commercial Fishing Proposed Regulations
			 Considerations
1.
Season
		  length changes for the Arkansas River with allowances for variances by using
		  different net types.
Paddlefish gill net mortality data from the period 2008 through
			 2012 have been examined. During this period, 754 paddlefish were collected by
			 AGFC Staff from Pool 13, Ozark Pool, or Lake Dardanelle on the Arkansas River.
			 Initial gill net mortality during this period was 13% (97 of 754 were dead upon
			 checking nets); however initial mortality was directly related to water
			 temperature and ranged from 0% at 43°F, to 48%
			 at 55°F. Fish smaller than the 37-inch length
			 limit comprised 43% of the mortalities. Males and non-gravid females of all
			 sizes made up 93% of the mortalities. Studies have shown that the use of
			 multifilament gillnets, rather than monofilament gillnets, during the warmer
			 portions of the paddlefish season would reduce by-catch mortality to a
			 sustainable level. To reduce initial gill net mortality to less than 20%,
			 Fisheries Division is proposing that below James W. Trimble Dam, roe takers are
			 required to use only multifilament nets from sunrise, Nov. 20 through midnight,
			 Dec. 5 and from sunrise March 2 through midnight April
			 10th.

ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL TACKLE
		  PROHIBITED
