Arkansas Administrative Code, Agency 002, Rule 002.00.18-001 - 2018-2019 Hunting Regulations | Arkansas Administrative Code

1. Recommended Change: Have a Quail stamp available to help support quail habitat. The price of the stamp is recommended at $4.50.

Justification: Revenue generated from Quail stamp sales would provide a steady funding source for facilitating management needs of the Northern Bobwhite program. The funding will be spent on bobwhite management on the six quail emphasis areas and on partner-agency lands (USFS, USFWS, ANHC, USCOE, etc...). Partner-agency land projects will aid in increasing the amount of useable habitat for quail within our seven quail focal landscapes. Once the emphasis areas have been improved /enhanced to ideal quail habitat, funds previously allocated to these areas will be applied to habitat work on other WMAs suitable for quail management and would build upon our landscape-scale approach to quail restoration. Code Change: D1.01 page 121

2. Recommended Change: Temporarily close quail season on Harold Alexander, Hope Upland, Jack Mountain, Little Bayou and Robert L. Hankins Mud Creek WMAs Justification: In 2017, AGFC initiated intensive habitat management on the above-listed WMAs; however spring point count data show that quail numbers on these areas are currently very low. The AGFC quail team recommends temporarily closing the hunting season on these 5 WMAs to allow an adequate amount of time for the population to respond to applied land management efforts. Once the density of quail reaches 0.33 birds/acre (1 covey/40 acres), based on fall covey count monitoring data, the hunting season will be reopened with appropriate regulations implemented. However, the season will be closed if 2 consecutive years of fall covey count data show the population to have been reduced to ≤ 0.17 birds/acre (0.5 covey/40 acres). It is critical that AGFC successfully demonstrate the absolute role that habitat restoration plays in restoring quail numbers. By demonstrating this success, AGFC will gain understanding and support from many citizens who have been skeptical of restoring quail populations to the state. Seeing physical successes can often lead landowners to create habitat on their properties which is one of the goals of AGFC's quail restoration effort.

Code: C1.05 page113

3. Recommended Change: Limit quail hunting to shotgun with no larger than a #2 shot. Justification: There are no clear firearm restrictions for the hunting of quail at this time. This will set a definite policy for what is legal.

Code: 6.06 page29

4. Recommended Change: Remove the youth restriction for the special permit quail hunt On Camp Robinson SUA and J. Perry Blue Mountain SUA

Justification: These hunts could possibly increase interest to a sport he or she may never have had a chance to experience. Code: C1.05 page 113

5. Recommended Change: It is proposed to add a new code to Chapter 18.00 of the AGFC Code of Regulations specifically addressing the restriction to the harvest of wild turkey jakes.

Justification: There is not currently a code specifically addressing the restriction to wild turkey jake harvest as there is for the restriction to wild turkey hen harvest. Creating this code will provide uniformity when enforcing wild turkey harvest violations and afford managers opportunity to assign consistent penalties to hen and jake harvests which should create similar incentive among hunters to avoid this subset of the wild turkey population thus improving gobbler carryover. Code Change: add 18.03 pages 34

6. Recommended Change: It is proposed to clarify the verbiage in AGFC Code 11.03 regarding the take of wild turkey jakes by youth during special youth turkey hunts by changing the last sentence to read, "Youths may take one jake according to Addendum A1.02 and Addendum C1.04." Currently the last sentence in the code reads, "During these hunts jakes may be taken."

Justification: The current wording in AGFC Code 11.03 leaves room to interpret that it may be legal to harvest more than one jake during the statewide youth turkey hunt/hunts. Code: 11.03 page31

7. Recommended Change: Add a youth permit Turkey hunt to Dr. Lester Sitzes III Bois D Arc WMA.

Justification: Turkey population at Dr. Lester Sitzes III Bois D Arc can support an additional limited youth hunt. Code: C1.04 page104

8. Recommended Change: Allow hunters to be assigned CITES tag instead of Temporary Alligator Possession Tag.

Justification: Currently, hunters must first place a TAPT on their harvested alligator before checking the alligator on-line. Once checked on-line and confirmed a CITES tag is mailed to the hunter. This slows the process of getting the CITES tag to the hunter in some case by as much as a week after harvest. While the TAPT keeps a hunter legal in state it prevents them from sending their alligator out of state for varying reasons (taxidermist, tannery, processor or hide buyer) until the CITES is obtained currently through the mail. Changing to assigning the CITES tag prior to the hunt at either the workshop or mailing the tag to successful hunters would expedite the checking process. This would also be consistent with the checking procedures of other big game species. Successful hunters would still report their harvest through the AGFC radio room as in years past and check their alligator on-line within 12 hours. This would in turn provide quicker harvest biological data as well as further reducing man hours expended on this hunt. Allow 7 days after end of hunt to return unused CITES tags to be eligible for hunt the following year. Code : 12.03 page32

9. Recommended Change: This is a code clarification that will prohibit any one under 16 from being eligible for applying for an alligator hunts. It has always been discouraged for anyone under 16 to apply to the alligator hunt even though it is not listed in the codebook.

Justification: Currently there are no age restrictions in code for applying for permit or harvesting an alligator.

Code: 11.06 page31

10. Recommended Change: Clarification of existing code for the sale of alligator meat, hide or parts to individuals outside the state.

Justification: Currently the code states that Alligator meat or parts may not be sold or transferred outside the state without prior written authorization from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The issue is that no one knew what "prior written authorization" meant. After confirming with Captain Dunn of USFWS and confirming with CITES agent only authorization from USFWS is requiring a CITES tag or reference to that CITES tag number remain with all portions. Code: 5.04 page27

11. Recommended Change: Allow limited alligator season in Alligator zone 2. Justification: Since the first sport hunt in 2007 Zone 2 has been closed to all alligator sport hunting. Zone 2 was originally closed to serve as a control for population analysis along with the adjacent open zones. That control is no longer warranted and justified. The alligator population has proven to be stable and capable to support a limited hunt. Allowing a limited sport hunt would allow Zone 2 sportsmen the opportunity to participate in Arkansas's alligator season. Also serve as an opportunity to potentially address some nuisance alligator situations. Annual population surveying would continue and adjustments would be made accordingly if warranted.

Code: A1.10 page47

12. Recommended Change: Clarify the code regarding possession of Alligator permit requirements.

Justification: Anyone that possesses a crocodilian species or attempts to participate in sport hunting activities must obtain and possess the required permit and or special tag issued by the Commission. This code already addresses the issue but the wording is a little confusing. Through word editing the existing code it will allow clarification of the code.

Code: 12.02 page32

13. Recommended Change: Change cost of private land elk permits from $35 to $5 each. These permits will be sold under the new license system.

Justification: Change the cost of the private land elk permits to be consistent with other species permit fees. Code: D1.01 page123

14. Recommended Change: Eliminate the Elk Management Assistant Program (EMAP) for private lands. Replace this program with an individual license base permit. All private land elk permits will be sold on the new license system. Permits will cost $5 each. Hunters who purchase a private land elk permit will have this option added to their license. Once a permit is purchased, it will be up to the hunter to find a landowner who will give them permission to hunt their property. The current call in quota system will still be utilized in the future. All private land elk permits will be issued for either sex elk. Once the bull quota has filled, all permits will become antlerless only permits. Permits can be used on any private lands (except in the Boxley Valley hunting exclusion zone) within the core elk management zone.

Justification: This change will greatly reduce the number of man hours required to issue private land elk permits. All paper applications have to be entered by hand with the current system. This creates a burden on employees and leaves opportunity for administrative errors to occur. Under the proposed system, all permits will be issued to hunters licenses. This system will also allow for real time hunter data availability and violator screening. It will also make it much easier for private land owners to obtain permits for their property. Code: S1.02 page129

15. Recommended Change: Clarification of Squirrel season on Ozark National Forest WMAs. Justification: Amend the Dog Restrictions on WMAs to prohibit dogs from being used for squirrel hunting during the first nine days of modern gun deer season on Lee Creek WMA.

Code: 22.01(12) page38

16. Recommended Change: Allow the use of bone without viscera as an attractant while trapping.

Justification: This was a request from Arkansas Trappers Association that does not pose any negative impact.

Code: 17.01 page33

17. Recommended Change: Increase archery bear quota in Bear Zone 1 from 205 to 250 bears.

Justification: For many years AGFC has been operating under the management direction to stabilize the bear population across the Ozarks. The current bear plan also recommends stabilization of the Ozark Bear population. Over the past several years, there has been continued expansion of bears into the Ozarks and "fringe" habitat that historically never had sustainable populations which would suggest that harvesting bears at 10% estimated population rate is not sufficient. Increasing the harvest rate incrementally may very well be needed. An increase in harvest quota of 20% would make a harvest target rate of 12-15% instead of 10%. Code: A1.08 page46

18. Recommended Change: Exempt certain state-owned WMA's within bear zone 1 that have permitted firearm deer hunts from the bear zone 1 quota and allow bear to be harvested by permit holders during those permitted firearm hunts. Those WMAs include: Ed Gordon Point Remove, Harold E. Alexander Spring River, McIlroy Madison County, and Scott Henderson Gulf Mountain.

Justification: These WMAs typically have permitted firearm hunts that fall outside the normal statewide season framework and most of the time the bear quota for Zone 1 has already been met therefore restricting the opportunity for any firearms hunting opportunities for bear on those WMAs. By exempting them from the Zone 1 quota, it will allow some firearms bear hunting opportunities on those WMAs by permit holders only.

Code: A1.08, C1.02 page46&88

19. Recommended Change: Amend Code 04.01 Game Animal/Bird Bag Limit and Possession Limit to reflect an enhanced penalty for violating bag limits on big game. It is suggested that small game violations of this code remain Class 1 and big game violations of this code become Class 3.

Justification: It is now a class 1 violation to harvest above the season bag limit on alligator, bear, elk, deer and wild turkeys. Per the current code book, persons convicted of harvesting more than the season bag limit for alligator, bear, deer, elk and wild turkey receive the same fines/points as those convicted of harvesting, for example, 13 squirrels in one day. Big game and small game are differentiated in Code 05.01 Hunting Wildlife in Closed Season Prohibited, setting precedent for this proposed change. Code : 4.01 page27

20. Recommended Change: Clarify the code for burning on WMAs.

Justification: This code currently makes it illegal to burn metal cans, tinfoil, nails, etc. The non-combustible item that is thrown into the fire is not being consumed by the fire and is most often left for Agency staff or contractor to pick-up. Currently, the Wildlife Officer has to see the campers leaving camp and the trash in the camp fire to be able to write a ticket for littering. Code: 19.06 page34

21. Recommended Change: Change the wording of season dates for most game, Corp property, NWRs and some migratory bird as to eliminate the need to update this code annually and to eliminate a redundant exception in C1.09.

Justification: The current phrasing requires that this code be updated every year, introducing sources of potential errors in the Code that could make regulation enforcement difficult. By changing to language that does not require annual review it will ease the regulation setting process for staff and Commissioners. Code: A1.01-A1.10, B1.01-B1.07, C1.01-C1.10 and C1.15 page 41- 121

22. Recommended Change: Clarify the language in the requirements of a tag to be attached to harvest.

Justification: The "special note" section was not clarified in last year's changes to the regulations. This will clarify the tagging not being necessary if hunter has checked and has that confirmation number and is with the harvest. Also eliminate redundant wording to clarify the code. Code: 5.17 page28

23. Recommended Change: Clarify that failure to continue to meet the initial eligibility and application requirements for wildlife rehabilitators is a cause for permit revocation or non-renewal. Eliminate allowance for permanent retention of animals unable to be released. Allow for temporary possession by a veterinarian of animals undergoing rehabilitation. Restrict the conditions rehabilitators are allowed to treat. Justification: These changes will clarify the conditions under which rehabilitation permits will be revoked and that veterinarians can provide medical care and temporarily possess animals (other than cervids and bears) with conditions beyond the capability of rehabilitators to treat. Allowing un-releasable animals to be retained by wildlife rehabilitators goes against the primary purpose of this permit, which is to return healthy animals to the wild. Rehabilitators generally provide limited care to injured or diseased animals and in the interest of animals welfare we wish to make it clear what the limits of such care are so as to avoid rehabilitators attempting to undertake treatments that they are not qualified to perform. Code: F1.05, 9.12 pages126&30

24. Recommended Change: In 2010, the USFWS certified Arkansas's new falconry regulations which were written based on federal minimum guidelines for falconry. When the new regulations were published in the Code Book in 2010, the requirement that general and master class falconers must have a current hunting license was accidentally omitted (it was included in all previous AGFC falconry regulations). Justification: The requirement for apprentice class falconers to possess a valid hunting license is listed in Addendum F.1.07. This recommended change corrects the omission by placing the hunting license requirement in the regulation itself and eliminates the need to include the requirement in the addendum for each of the 3 classes of falconers. Code: 9.15 page31

25. Recommended Change: Eliminate code 14.03.

Justification: This code is no longer needed due to reference to Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

Code: 14.03 page32

26. Recommended Change: Allow youths that have successfully completed Hunters Education to be able to hunt without a mentor during youth season.

Justification: These youths hunt alone during the regular gun season so restricting them to hunting with an adult one weekend seems unnecessary. Code: 11.05 page31

27. Recommended Change: Remove reference to permit in regards to Geocaching Justification: The Geocaching code M1.00 was updated last year and the reference to a permit was left out of the revision.

Code 19.18 page34

28. Recommended Change: Clarification of handgun code for the minimum barrel length and calibers qualification.

Justification: As this code is currently written it is confusing of what handgun is legal for hunting based on the bore size and barrel length. This will eliminate confusion of what is a legal handgun. Code: 6.02 (4) page29

29. Recommended Change: Allow the use of certain big bore air rifles for hunting white-tailed deer only during any open modern gun deer seasons.

Justification: Currently there are 11 states that allow the use of big bore air rifles for harvesting deer (AL, AZ, KY, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, SC, VA, VT) while two others are currently in the process of legalizing their use (FL, TX). Much effort was employed by AGFC staff to better understand the physics of big bore air guns, their ballistics as compared to centerfire firearms, and their effectiveness for producing an ethical harvest and retrieval of white-tailed deer. It is evident that there is a vast spectrum of power, accuracy, and subsequent effectiveness of big bore air guns on the market due to the variation in gun designs and the numerous designs and weights of the bullets that they propel. Therefore, after analyzing the information/data collected from these efforts and after reviewing regulations of other states which allow big bore air rifles it was determined that the minimum guidelines listed in the proposed code change (Code 6.02) would consistently produce an effective kill "shot" for a white-tailed deer. In addition big bore air rifles should be categorized as a modern gun firearm and should be used in conjunction with corresponding modern gun deer season(s). And, due to their limited effective distance, it is also suggested that big bore air rifles be used in deer zones which limit the use of certain centerfire rifles (Deer Zones 4, 4B, 5, and 5B). However, it is important to note that at this time big bore air rifles are not subject to any federal excise tax, the basic funding mechanism for state wildlife agency activities. This means no portion of the proceeds from big bore air gun purchases (ammunition included) contribute to the state wildlife conservation activities supported by Pittman Robertson funds. Code: 6.02 page29

30. Recommended Change: For clarification purposes, change wording in several codes regarding weapons allowed and permits required on DeGray Lake WRA.

Justification: DeGray Lake WMA staff contacted AGFC to request these code clarifications for the public. The permit requirements for hunts on the WRA were excluded and need to be included as well.

Code: 20.02(G), 20.07(A), 24.04(3) pages 34, 36 & 40

31. Recommended Change: Add DeGray Lake WRA mobility-impaired waterfowl hunt to the waterfowl hunting permit requirement list. Remove the wording for a signed permit.

Justification: The code does not state that a permit is required to hunt waterfowl on the DeGray Lake WRA during the mobility-impaired hunt. Remove the wording of signed due to the electronic permits and license allowed now.

Code: 24.10 page41

32. Recommended Change: Remove Access permit requirement from U of A Pine Tree Experimental Station WDA

Justification: With the implementation of the WMA General Use Permit for all WMAs this permit is no longer needed. Also, several things have changed on the WDA recently that makes the rules and regulations of this WDA the same as most WMAs across the state. The specific rules will be placed in the Area Notes in the General Hunting Guidebook each year. Code: 20.07(A) page36

33. Recommended Change: Remove Youth Deer Permit hunt on Steve N. Wilson Raft Creek Bottoms WMA and move to the first segment of statewide youth hunt.

Justification: AGFC Staff has observed very little participation in these permitted deer hunts since 2014. Through daily observations, the Region 2 biologist staff has documented a growing deer population that is responding very well to various types of habitats and management practices. In order to maintain a quality deer herd on this WMA, staff is recommending adding additional permits to increase deer harvest and with the additional 1000 acres added to the WMA in 2015, staff also recommends the removal of the weapon restrictions. Removal of this restriction should also help increase participation in the permit hunt.

Code: C1.13 (D), C1.01 page 120 & 83

34. Recommended Change: Remove weapon restrictions on Steve N. Wilson Raft Creek WMA.

Justification: Staff has observed very little participation since 2014. Over the past 8 years the Region 2 biologist staff has documented, through daily observations, a growing deer population that is responding very well to various types of habitats and management practices. With the additional 1000 acres added in 2015 staff recommends the removal of the weapon restrictions. Code: 20.02(A) page34

35. Recommended Change: Add a doe to the modern gun deer season bag limit for opening weekend on Sylamore WMA

Justification: On Piney Creek, Ozark National Forest, White Rock and the Lee Creek

WMAs a doe is allowed during both muzzleloader seasons OR during the opening weekend of modern gun. Sylamore does not include the opening weekend of modern gun and thus this addition would standardize regulations on the Ozark National Forest (north of I-40) and provides additional opportunity for doe to be harvested on Sylamore WMA. Code: C1.01 page49

36. Recommended Change: Extend the muzzleloader deer hunt on Dr. Lester Sitzes III Bois d' Arc WMA for 2018-19 from the usual five day hunt to the third Saturday in October for 9 days. Extend the modern gun deer hunt to the second Saturday in November for 9 days.

Justification: Six years of data suggests than the WMA has an average harvest of 33.3 deer during the permit hunts. I reasonably suspect that the archery harvest is relatively minimal. Three years of spotlight survey data suggest an average harvest of about 120 deer is needed for this WMA. Taking this into consideration along with the results from the APC conducted in 2013, this proposal is justified. Although the APC results were based on a small sample size, they are indicative of a herd that is in excess of the carrying capacity. There are no foreseen conflicts with the dates or any negative impacts to the hunting opportunity for small game or waterfowl. No negative feedback from the hunters is anticipated. This change will provide more hunter opportunity and hopefully higher harvest numbers. Code: Addendum C1.01 page 61

37. Recommended Change: Change the deer muzzleloader mobility impaired permit hunt on Lake Greeson WMA from the second Thursday and Friday in October to the Thursday and Friday Prior to the first Saturday in November.

Justification: The Corps of Engineers has a deer muzzleloader mobility impaired permit hunt and has requested these date changes.

Code: Addendum C1.01 page 70

38. Recommended Change: Remove the deer permit requirements for Cut Off Creek and Little Bayou.

Justification: Due to limited permit sales it is recommended to remove the permit requirements along with the loss of acreage due to timber company sale. Code: C1.13 page57

39. Recommended Change: Increase youth season bag limit to four deer, (two bucks and two antlerless) for Loafer's Glory

Justification: This will make it consistent with the other WMAs in this area: Buffalo National River, Gene Rush and Bearcat Hollow.

Code: C1.01 page72

40. Recommended Change: Inholdings of private land on a WMA may be eligible for WMA permits.

Justification: Currently, private land owners within a WMA that have 12 violation points are not eligible for WMA permits to hunt on their private land. This will allow those owners of private land to be able to receive permits to hunt on their own property. Code: 1.00-L (B) page25

41. Recommended Change: Clarify the language in the Bonus deer tags. Justification: the Deer Management Assistance Program tags, Private land CWD Management tags and the Special Urban Deer Hunt must be placed on deer upon harvest regardless of the checking process.

Code: 5.17 (E) page28

42. Recommended Change: Clarify that hand feeding of wildlife within the CWD management zone is to exclude all game animals.

Justification: Clarification is needed to code to reduce confusion. As it is written any game animal may be fed by hand except alligators within the CWD management zone. Code: 07.06 (10) page30

43. Recommended Change: As a result of additional positives add five more counties to CWD zone (Benton, Washington, Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian). Justification: Additional positives have resulted in the need to add the following counties to the CWD zone: Benton, Crawford, Franklin, Sebastian and Washington. To manage CWD prevalence and distribution in Arkansas, specific regulations should be implemented where the disease is known to occur. Amendment 35 states that the AGFC must manage by zone, therefore a CWD management zone will need to be created. Counties will be included in this zone if a wild or captive cervid has tested positive for

CWD. In addition, portion of a county is within a 10-mile radius of a wild or captive cervid that has tested positive for CWD, the entire county is included in the CWD management zone. The 10-mile radius is based on research which examined dispersal of male fawn and yearling white-tailed deer from their natal home ranges. Research demonstrated movement distances of 1-15 miles on average is common; however, deer movements of distances greater than 50 miles have been documented. Oyer et al., (2007) documented a yearling female traveling a cumulative distance of 287 miles and as far as 60 miles in a straight-line distance in a research project conducted in south-central Wisconsin. Although this animal was not found to be infected with CWD, its movements serve as a cautionary tale of the potential for individuals to move long-distances and, if infected, to spread prions across the landscape.

Code: E1.12 page125

44. Recommended Change: Remove antler restrictions from the following WMAs: Beaver Lake, Blue Mountain, Cherokee (areas within the CWD zone) Cherokee Prairie Natural Area, Dardanelle, Fort Chaffee, Frog Bayou, Galla Creek, Garrett Hollow Natural Area, H.E. Flanagan Prairie Natural Area, Howard Hensley Searcy County, Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area, J. Perry Mikles Blue Mountain SUA, Jones Point, Loafers Glory, Mount Magazine, Nimrod/Lloyd Millwood, Ozark Lake, Petit Jean River, Rainey, Scott Henderson Gulf Mountain, Slippery Hollow Natural Area and Wedington

45. Recommended Change: Remove 3-Point Rule from the CWD Management Zone counties.

Justification: During Phase I of AGFC's CWD response, sampling results revealed an overall prevalence rate of 23% inside the CWD Focal Area in Newton County. Of these, 32% of all sampled bucks were positive for the disease. This finding of higher disease prevalence in males vs. females is common with CWD, though exceptions exist. Based on this finding, it is reasonable to focus treatment in the CWD Management Zone on increased removal of the highest prevalence group (males) by removing antler-point restrictions. This will allow more bucks of all age-classes to be harvested. Based on several models of CWD in white-tailed deer, long term male-focused harvest is projected to be the best harvest-based method to stabilize or reduce CWD prevalence over a period of 25-100 years. Additionally, male-removal is projected to slow dispersal of CWD, as yearling males are well documented to disperse over long distances, possibly carrying infectious pathogens in the process. This treatment mechanism is intended to reduce the number of infected individuals in the population and shift the population to include fewer males. This management strategy represents a difficult trade-off between popular trophy buck management strategies and having healthy, stable populations. This management strategy should not be expected to yield short-term results but must be implemented consistently over a period of decades.

Code: E1.12, 15.01 pages125&33

46. Recommended Change: Establish a tier-based, carcass movement restriction for the CWD Management Zone. Tier 1 (Counties: Boone, Carroll, Madison and Newton) and Tier 2 (Counties: Benton, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Pope, Searcy, Marion, Sebastian, Yell, Washington and Van Buren.

Justification: One of the primary goals of CWD management is to minimize the rate of disease spread to uninfected areas. The carcasses of animals infected with CWD may contain large quantities of prion, especially in the lymphatic and nervous system tissues. Movements of these tissues are considered a risk for CWD transmission and disease spread. In 2005, AGFC implemented a carcass importation ban from CWD positive states and provinces in order to protect the state's cervid populations from contact with infectious material. With the discovery of CWD in Arkansas, this regulation was expanded to include movement of these same materials from within the CWD Management Zone to areas in the state where CWD is not currently known to occur to reduce the risk of disease establishment in those areas. This regulation allows some lower-risk tissues, such as antlers and cleaned skulls, meat with all bones removed, cleaned teeth, hides, and finished taxidermy products, to be transported from within the CWD Management Zone to other areas in Arkansas.

This proposal of a tier-based system would restrict the movement of entire carcasses from those counties with a higher apparent prevalence to areas with a lower apparent prevalence and remaining counties of Arkansas where CWD has not been identified (i.e. Newton County deer carcass being transported to Sebastian County). Tier 1 Counties: carcasses would be allowed to move within these counties, but not into Tier 2 Counties or any other county in Arkansas. Tier 2 Counties: carcasses would be allowed to move within other Tier 2 counties, Tier I counties, but not outside the CWD Management Zone. Code: 5.26, E1.12 page28&131

47. Recommended Change: Liberalize and make deer season structure more consistent across the CWD zone.

Justification: One of AGFC's goals is to stabilize CWD prevalence within areas known to have this disease. There is a strong correlation between deer density and CWD prevalence; therefore, deer densities should be reduced in and near areas known to be infected. In an effort to reduce the potential spread of CWD, stabilize its prevalence, and make regulations within the CWD Management Zone more consistent and easier to communicate to the public, it is suggested that bag limits be made consistent across the CWD Management Zone. Code: A1.01 page43

48. Recommended Change: Add Cox Cypress and Grand Cypress Lakes to the exceptions in Common Restriction A code.

Justification: These two bodies of water on George H. Dunklin Jr. Bayou Meto are popular for fall and winter fishing and was overlooked to be included in Common Restrictions A code. Code: C1.12 page117

49. Recommended Change: Clarify with stronger language in Common Restriction A that during the regular duck season that boats may not be launched any earlier than 2:00 a.m. and that boats must remain occupied in boat staging areas from 2.00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m.

Justification: With deployment of boat restrictors, some waterfowl hunters leave their respective boats in boat staging areas unattended for extended periods in an attempt to claim a spot in line for leaving that morning. Code: C1.12 (1)(a) page117

50. Recommended Change: Code clarification to add exception to Shirey Bay Rainey Brake for boat motor and time restriction for non-waterfowl hunters.

Justification: Shirey Bay, Horseshoe Lake and Hill Slough are popular fishing and boating areas. This exception will allow non-hunting boaters to utilize motors over 25 horsepower for fishing and non-hunting activities on these waterbodies. Code: 24.03 page39

51. Recommended Change: Clarify in code 24.09 the list of WMAs required for the nonresident permits and add Freddie Black Choctaw Island and Ozan that were omitted from the code. Clarify time period of permit to be from the first day of first segment of regular duck season to the last day of the last segment of regular duck season. Justification: License requires each WMA to be listed to purchase a permit for and therefore each WMA must be listed. Freddie Black Choctaw Island and Ozan were inadvertently left out of this regulation, this will correct this mistake.

Code: 24.09, D1.01 pages40&123

52. Recommended Change: Include National Refuges in the boating restrictions and clarify section (B) and (C) of 20.27

Justification: At the request of Refuge Administration they would like to be included in the reckless boating codes to provide another tool for Federal and State Officers to deal with the "boat races". Section B and C was not amended to cover all the Commission owned or controlled instead it refers to "the WMA's listed above" which does not exist any longer. Code: 20.27 page37

53. Recommended Change: Clarify the definition of a resident.

Justification: The current definition of the term "Resident" has limited explanation about the criteria for a person to establish Arkansas residency. The proposed revisions clarify that: a natural person must have established domicile in Arkansas for at least 60 days; children younger than 18 are presumed to have same resident status as their custodial parent or legal guardian unless otherwise documented; applicants for Commission-issued licenses, permits, and tags have the burden of proving their resident status; certain types of documentation may be considered for demonstrating proof of residency; and list resident permits, licenses and tags that require an applicant to provide proof of Arkansas residency for one (1) continuous year. Code: 1.00-C page22

54. White-fronted, Snow, Blue, Ross's and Canada goose season.

Geese: Oct. 27-29, Nov. 17- Dec. 23, 2018 and Dec. 25, 2018- Jan. 27, 2019

Justification: White-fronted goose hunting has grown in popularity in recent years, and many of these geese arrive several weeks before typical opening dates. This season segment would provide additional early hunting opportunity for white-fronted geese. Seasons for other geese would be opened concurrently to avoid confusion and reduce potential for violations. Code: B1.09, B1.10, B1.11, B1.14 page 48

55. Youth Season

Dates: Dec. 1, 2018 and Feb. 2, 2019

Justification: Split youth waterfowl hunting days offer two chances for these opportunities to occur during good weather and habitat conditions, and these proposed dates are both on days when youth will be out of school.
