PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department has scheduled a series of six “open houses” for its constituents to review and ask questions about proposed hunt recommendations for spring hunts for turkey, javelina, bison and bear.

The department annually makes recommendations to the Arizona Game and Fish Commission regarding the management of game species, which establish the seasons, dates, bag limits, open areas and permit-tag allocations based on the framework of the hunt guidelines set by the commission every two years.

The proposed recommendations are posted at www.azgfd.gov/huntguidelines. The open houses will be conducted at the following Game and Fish regional offices:

• Tues., July 26: 4-6:30 p.m. Mesa, 7200 E. University Drive.
• Thurs., July 27: 3-5 p.m., Kingman, 5325 N. Stockton Hill Road.
• Tues., Aug. 2: 3-5 p.m., Pinetop, 2878 E. White Mountain Blvd.
• Wed., Aug. 3: 6-8 p.m., Flagstaff, 3500 S. Lake Mary Road.
• Wed., Aug. 3: 3-5 p.m., Yuma, 9140 E. 28th St.
• Wed., Aug. 3: 3-5 p.m., Tucson, 555 N. Greasewood Road.

The proposed hunt recommendations will be presented to the commission for consideration during its Aug. 5 meeting in Flagstaff.
