Budget Problems
Reduce Big Game Regs
The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has released the 2003-2004 Big Game Mammal Hunting Regulations in the form of a double-sided, legal-sized flyer. Due to budget reductions, only the most commonly referenced hunting regulations and information will be included.

The condensed format will provide open-season dates for deer and bear, along with selected hunting provisions. Hunters are reminded, however, that they must comply with all other applicable state and federal regulations, including method of take and shooting hours.

The summary flyer can be found at www.dfg.ca.gov/fg_comm/2003/mammalflyer.pdf. Anyone wishing to view the full regulations can log onto DFG's website at. www.dfg.ca.gov/fg_comm/regs.html.

DFG will print 300,000 copies of the flyer, which will be available at DFG offices and license agents, at the Internet link mentioned above, or by requesting a copy at (916) 227-2245.

Other regulations due out this year, including small mammal, upland game, and waterfowl, will be provided in a similarly condensed format. Alternate communication format is available upon request. If reasonable accommodation is needed, call the Fish and Game Commission, (916) 653-4899, fgc@dfg.ca.gov or the California Relay Service for the deaf or hearing-impaired from TDD phones at (800) 597-9823.
