WATERBURY – Vermont's draft Big Game Management Plan for 2010-2020 is available for public review, the Fish and Wildlife Department announced Thursday.
The plan will provide management goals and activities for the department to follow in managing Vermont's deer, moose, black bear, and wild turkey populations in the next decade.
The draft 2010-2020 Big Game Management Plan is available on the department's Web site at vtfishandwildlife.com.
"This is the culmination of public survey data, biological data, public input meetings, and department thinking about managing these four very important big game species for the people of Vermont," said state wildlife biologist John Buck in a release.
The department hopes to have the plan finalized by Sept. 30 for implementation on Jan. 1.
Two public meetings have been scheduled to receive comments and suggestions. One will be Monday, July 20, at 7 p.m. in the Montpelier High School cafeteria. The other will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22, in the Rutland High School cafeteria.
