Hunter orientation, registration sessions scheduled

COLUMBIA, MO (August 5, 2005) - The City will conduct three free public
hunter orientation/registration sessions for those citizens who are
interested in bow hunting for deer on designated City properties.

Last year, the City offered bow hunting opportunities on properties at
Grindstone Nature Area, the Sanitary Landfill, the Sewer Utility
property along Perche Creek at Strawn Road and a portion of Twin Lakes
Recreation Area. This year, the City Council is considering changes that
will be announced prior to the orientation/registration sessions.

The orientation/registration sessions are as follows.

Saturday, August 27, 2005 at 8:30 a.m., Activity and Recreation Center

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 3 p.m., Activity and Recreation Center

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 6:30 p.m., Activity and Recreation
Center 
Last year, more than 170 potential hunters attended one of two
sessions. This year, the City added a Saturday session as requested by
deer hunters.
In order to hunt on one of the four locations, hunters must attend one
of the three sessions, that will last about one hour. City permits will
be distributed only at these meetings.

Additionally, hunters must fulfill the requirements of the Department
of Conservation.

For more information, contact Bill Watkins, Assistant City Manager, at
874-7214.
