Looks like the dog training grounds issue has been delayed.

Report from today’s NRC meeting:

1. Because of the high fence court ruling DNR is reviewing it’s lists of permits and licenses many of which will be affected by the Supreme Court ruling.
2. Very little public response to the fee increases brought forward at the last NRC meeting.
3. Goose Pond visitors’ center to be completed this fall weather permitting.
4. Eagle Marsh project preventing asian carp from reaching Lake Erie to be completed this fall weather permitting.
5. At least 12 swift water rescues were effected by the DNR Law Enforcement staff last week-end.
6. Tom Easterly will be retiring from IDEM this month creating a vacancy on the NRC.
7. The proposed changes to 312 IAC 9 had to be amended:

This means the dog training grounds proposal is delayed while DNR figures out if they have the authority to do this. It may mean that DNR has no authority over reptile breeding permits and likely cannot decrease the fencing requirement to less than 8 feet for smaller cervids. All in all the high fence hunting issue is affecting areas of DNR never before considered. Next legislative session should be really good. Now's the time to buy that tiger you always wanted for a pet.

Tiger...lol. Thanks for keeping the updates coming Jack.

#4 is too late now. The Little Wabash River starts at Eagle Marsh and has flooded way out of its banks most of June. Crop fields along it have been destroyed. Asian carp have been in the Wabash for a few years and with the floods Im sure they went by the electric nets. h.h.

No joke if you hunt by Fairbanks Landing! h.h.

Always drive by that place when I'm hunting out there h.h.

me too!

Anybody know the story?

I know it's a rescue type facility, but I don't know the full story. My sister lives right down the road from there. I bet she knows.
