SOCIAL CIRCLE — Hunters and other interested citizens are encouraged to review proposed changes to hunting regulations for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons and make plans to attend a scheduled public hearing.  
Some of the proposed changes include uniform statewide deer season, to expand hunting opportunity for alligators and bears, to modify either-sex days to manage white-tailed deer, and to regulate hunting and other activities on wildlife-management areas and other state lands. Three public hearings are scheduled to provide the public an opportunity to share comments on the proposed hunting regulation changes.
