City will hold bow hunter orientation, registration sessions

COLUMBIA, MO (July 23, 2007) - The city of Columbia will conduct three
hunter orientation/registration sessions for citizens interested in bow
hunting for deer on designated city properties. The sessions are open to
the public at no charge.

The one-hour sessions will be held at the Activity and Recreation
Center, 1701 West Ash St., on the dates shown below. These sessions are
the only times when city hunting permits will be issued.

● Thursday, Aug. 30, at 3 p.m.
● Thursday, Aug. 30, at 6:30 p.m.
● Saturday, Sept. 8, at 8:30 a.m.

Bow hunting will be permitted during two seasons at: the sanitary
landfill; Grindstone Nature Area; a portion of Twin Lakes Recreation
Area; Smith Park on the southwest corner of Waco Road and Brown Station
Road; and at sewer utility property on Strawn Road, Coats Lane and
Bainbridge Drive. 

The first season runs from Sept. 15 - Nov. 9, 2007. The second season
runs from Nov. 21, 2007 - Jan. 15, 2008.

To hunt at the designated locations, hunters must attend one of the
three orientation sessions, obtain a permit and carry it while hunting
on city property or display it in vehicles in designated parking areas.
Hunters shall also follow all relevant Missouri Department of
Conservation rules, regulations and requirements related to hunting.

Now in its fourth year, this program continues to attract a growing
number of hunters. Two hundred fifty five hunters attended the 2006
session, compared to 240 in 2005 and 170 in 2004.
