Assessment of Public Comment
The Department of Environmental Conservation received only one comment, from one individual, who requested that the “cock-only” harvest regulations in wildlife management units (WMUs) 7F and 7J (Syracuse area) be maintained. No additional information on pheasant populations or pheasant habitat in those WMUs was provided to support the request, so no changes were made to the reduced cock-only hunting area that was included in the proposed rule.
