I received this reply from Lori Preuss:
Thank you for your comments. This preproposal inquiry is just that: To find out if the public has any preliminary comments on the subject. We have not yet formulated any changes to our nighttime hunting rule, and we may not change anything at all. If we do, you will see it on the Internet at our Website on June 23rd, and you will be able to testify at the Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting in August if you want to. Again, we haven’t done anything at this point, and we may decide to scrap any changes. I’ll keep you updated.
Lori
I'm heartened to see that at least there is a process which will include public input and that this issue isn't even on the docket just yet. I'm hopeful it will just go away. If I receive any further info, I'll post it here.
