establishing wild turkey county bag limits – Bill Dinkines, Chief of Wildlife Division.

Based on declining wild turkey populations in western Oklahoma, staff recommends changing the bag limit for the 13 counties open to fall turkey hunting with a gun from “either sex” to “tom only”. Staff also recommends reducing the bag limit for the 21 western counties that currently have a two tom limit per county for the spring season to a one tom per county limit. A separate continuing resolution that has been in place since 2011 for the 8 southeastern counties will remain the same and will not be impacted by these changes.

efforts to work with the City of Lawton to keep fishing open for constituents during Covid19. Law Enforcement will be graduating five new wardens soon and the Commission will be invited to the pinning ceremony.

Bill Dinkines presented the Resolution establishing hunting regulations for migratory birds. For 2020, waterfowl zones 1 and 2 will have the same season dates, and the split will be reduced to 5 days. The season will still run as late as allowed by USFWS. Additionally, in March of 2019, the President signed into law Senate Bill 47, which allows each state to open two additional days outside of the federal duck season frameworks for hunting by veterans and active duty military personnel. These days will be the same as our youth waterfowl days. Finally, in accordance with the Federal harvest strategy for scaup, the daily limit for scaup will be reduced from 3 to 1 due to population declines. Other season dates and structures remain the same and are adjusted for calendar wrap to (generally) start on Saturday and end on Sunday. Mr. Barwick stated that the Legislative/Rules/Litigation Commission committee met and reviewed this Resolution and recommends the revisions. Motion was made by Mr. Barwick, seconded by Mr. Groendyke to approve the Resolution as presented. Motion carried with Commissioners Brewster, Barwick, Hughes, Gaddis, Zelbst, Groendyke, Holder and Mabrey voting “Yes”.

Bill Dinkines presented the Resolution establishing antlerless white-tailed deer seasons and bag limits. A continuing resolution has been in place for a number of years that established the antlerless deer seasons and bag limits. Based on recent antlerless harvest levels, staff recommends additional opportunity for antlerless harvest in terms of altered season bag limits and season dates as appropriate. No changes are being proposed for antlered deer. In summary, the following changes were proposed:

Zone 1 will increase to allow antlerless hunting all 16 days of gun season with a one antlerless bag limit, white-tailed deer only. Zones 2, 7, & 8 will double the antlerless bag limit from 2 to 4 for muzzleloader and gun seasons. The special holiday antlerless season will be extended from 10 days to 14 days, running from December 18-31. The holiday antlerless bag limit will be increased from 1 to 2. Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, & 9 will double the antlerless bag limit for muzzleloader and gun season from 1 to 2 for each season. The special holiday antlerless season will be extended from 10 days to 14 days, running December 18-31. The holiday antlerless bag limit will be increased from 1 to 2. Zone 10 will increase opportunity to allow antlerless harvest all 16 days of gun season. The bag limit for this zone remains at 1 antlerless deer for muzzleloader and 1 antlerless deer for gun season. In ALL MANAGEMENT ZONES all deer taken count toward the hunter’s combined regular season limit of six deer. Antlerless deer taken during the special holiday antlerless season are bonus deer and do not apply towards the hunter’s regular season bag limit. Nels Rodefeld, Chief of Information & Education, presented a brief slide presentation on the

promotion of more antlerless deer hunting, referring back to a successful campaign in the early 2000’s called ‘Hunters in the know, take a doe’. There was a full discussion on the need for more processors if we are encouraging hunters to take more antlerless deer. Several ideas will be explored through Wade Free, Assistant Director and the Hunters Against Hunger Program. Mr. Barwick stated that the Legislative/Rules/Litigation Commission committee met and reviewed this Resolution and recommends the revisions. Motion was made by Mr. Barwick, seconded by Mr. Zelbst to approve the Resolution as presented. Motion carried with Commissioners Brewster, Barwick, Hughes, Gaddis, Zelbst, Groendyke, Holder and Mabrey voting “Yes”.

Director Strong requested approval of a new full-time position for Boating Access/Shooting Range Coordinator. He stated that over the past five years that more Sportfish money has been put into boating access projects and more shooting ranges are being built statewide. This position would be housed in the federal aid section to work on boating access projects and shooting ranges full-time as well as increase public awareness of these opportunities for constituents. Motion was made by Mr.

Zelbst, seconded by Ms. Gaddis to approve the new full-time position as presented. Motion carried with Commissioners Brewster, Barwick, Hughes, Gaddis, Zelbst, Groendyke, Holder and Mabrey voting “Yes”.

Chairman Mabrey appointed Commissioner Zelbst to chair the committee for the FY21 Commission officers. Mr. Zelbst will pick two other Commissioners to serve on the committee and the announcement of the FY21 officers will be presented at the June 1, 2020 Commission meeting.

Chairman Mabrey announced the next Commission meeting will be Monday, June 1, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. in Oklahoma City.

The meeting adjourned at 10:40 a.m.

AGENCY UPDATE

● LEGISLATURE: ● The legislature officially adjourned Sine Die! ● There were no Title 29 (Game & Fish statutes) bills passed during this legislative

session. ● With some very last minute momentum, we were able to replace the language in SB

927 (originally a bill that opened up night hunting of hogs) with language that would authorize the Wildlife Commission to establish the types and prices of hunting and fishing licenses by rule, rather than statute. Within a few hours of drafting the floor amendment, the bill was heard by the House and the new language was passed by a vote of 77 Y / 12 N. The bill then headed back to the Senate for them to approve the amendment, but unfortunately it did not receive a Senate hearing before they adjourned.

● Legislators have begun filing interim study proposals. ● HUMAN DIMENSIONS

● The Deer Hunter Survey report was posted to the ODWC website for public view ● We created a preliminary draft of the private lands survey with input from all

divisions. In May it was circulated through divisions to gain feedback on beneficial topics. The survey continues to be fine tuned before being sent out to private landowners

● Oklahoma State University hired a new graduate student to complete work on an economic impact analysis study. Dr. Omkar Joshi will lead this project looking at the economic benefits that wildlife management areas have on local communities across Oklahoma.

● Work continues on analyzing 2019 Game Harvest Survey data and completing the federal aid report. Preliminary data show that participation remained consistent in 2019 compared to previous years.

Activities

● Jeremy Duck, fisheries biologist in the NC Region, completed and successfully defended his Master’s thesis.

● Phase 2B of the Durant SFH renovation project is progressing well. The contractor has been removing suitable material inactive pond levees to build back a substantial portion of the inner and outer canal levees.

● Collected, boxed, and shipped fish to The Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources & Recovery Center for fish disease testing.

● Northern largemouth bass brooders were collected from American Horse Lake and stocked out into spawning ponds for production of farm pond fish.

● Planned for and performed egg mat pilot project in the Neosho River to document paddlefish spawning. This was our first attempt, and we were successful collecting paddlefish eggs.

● Staff continues to work with Close to Home Fishing Program (CTHFP) partners to plan two fishing docks at CTHFP waters .

● Staff stocked CTHFP waters with hybrid sunfish raised at ODWC hatcheries. ● Staff constructed and deployed several large, complex fish habitat structures in

Dahlgren Lake. ● Conducted spring electrofishing surveys on Arbuckle, Spavinaw, and Chimney Rock

● Certified a new 143 lbs. state record paddlefish caught at Keystone Reservoir. ● Completed spring electrofishing surveys on Vincent and American Horse reservoirs. ● Angler pressure counts were completed at Watonga, Elmer and American Horse

reservoirs. ● The Lake Watonga access road was completed in preparation for a major renovation

effort. ● Road maintenance at Lake Hall continues, and fishing access sites were improved. ● A leaking dam valve at Lake Hall was repaired. ● Conducted routine maintenance of the Dahlgren Lake public access area, including

making additional boat ramp improvements to remedy loose gravel at the head of the ramp.

● Six peer-reviewed manuscripts were edited and submitted for publishing in various journals.

● A CTHFP draft cooperative agreement has been crafted with the City of Yukon to construct a fishing dock to improve angler access.

● Staff worked with Outdoor Oklahoma staff to video and document production of hybrid striped bass for pending video segment production.

● The safety and aesthetics of the Blue River PFHA was improved by removing old restrooms and fire pits

I&E DIVISION ● Our communications staff has continued to press the message of the “Outdoors Are

Always Open,” and we continue to see great success and participation from outdoor enthusiasts.

● Our Education Staff has developed extensive guidelines to make sure we keep our customers and our employees safe as we begin to hold events such as fishing clinics and hunter education classes. These plans are currently under review by the state Department of Health.

● The agency sold 1,711 Argentina dove hunt raffle tickets. We saw a major spike in sales when we instituted a cross sell for controlled hunt applicants and an increase following a targeted marketing email to all the HIP license holders in the state.

● Controlled hunt applications were up by more than 25% totalling 25,731 applications. This was likely due to few reasons including the fact that it is easier than ever to apply, increased interest in some of the new hunts (including turkey and walk-in elk hunts at Wichita Mountains) and a change in approach to increase application numbers. In years past the strategy was to remind past applicants to re-enter and this year we broadened the net to seek out first time applicants or those who have not applied in years.

● Lance Meek continues to make progress on shooting range renovations and new construction around the state:

o Lexington, Cherokee, Pushmataha, Beaver WMAs all have completed renovations and are being used daily by hunters and shooters.

3

o Renovations are underway at Okmulgee and James Collins WMAs, and are anticipated to be completed by July 15. As these are complete we plan to have a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the renovated ranges.

o Environmental Assessments are complete at Sandy Sanders, Packsaddle, Kaw WMAs, and we will start the engineering in July.

o Currently working on the Environmental Assessments at Atoka and Copan WMAs .

o The location that was selected at the Hugo WMA is not suitable, and we will need a new location before moving forward

o A Federal Aid Grant has been submitted to start the shooting range work at Heyburn, Cimarron Hills, Hulah, Waurika, Robbers Cave WMAs.

● The information section has drafted a communications plan aimed at increasing the overall percentage of does harvested in the upcoming hunting seasons. We will use a blend of different strategies including the traditional venues such as news releases, expanding opportunities such adding private lands youth hunts and leveraging new tools such as geo-fencing to direct market to active hunters in areas where we want to see more antlerless deer harvested.

● Darrin Hill has been following along the fisheries crew as they collect fish to produce another round of striped bass hybrids. This has been a very productive year and we look forward to seeing the story in video once the hybrids are stocked.

● Jena Donnell worked with Matt Mattioda to create the very first educational driving tour at Heyburn Wildlife Management Area . This has been very well received by the public and a good example of quick thinking, good partnerships and rolling out the welcome mat on our public lands.

● The NRA Hunter Education course has been a big success raising more than $80,000 in federal matching funds. For more details about this unique program here.

● Don Brown took photos of some of the Professional Bull Riders when they were in town at the Lazy E and took a break to do some shooting at Silverleaf Shotgun Sports. It’s always good when we can show athletes and celebrities engaging in hunting, fishing and shooting sports. Coincidentally, we are partnering with Silverleaf on a Fed Aid grant to replace all their machines -- around 100 machines -- to provide increased recreational shooting opportunities in central Oklahoma. This will be the first 90/10 split using new grant provisions from the Target Marksman Act.

● Communications staff assisted in promotion of the national junior duck stamp contest. The agency is now accepting art submissions for the 2021-22 stamp where the American Wigeon will be featured.

● Skylar St. Yves is working closely with Keith Thomas to maximize opportunity and exposure for the Close To Home Fishing Program. As a reminder we were awarded a competitive grant from the RBFF to receive a fully outfitted trailer to use at fishing events and CTHF areas. Additionally, Michael Bergin is executing a targeted communications campaign surrounding major holidays, using zip code proximity, to remind anglers they have fishing spots near where they live. Fisheries is emphasizing stocking lots of catchable size sunfish in these smaller ponds and lakes.

● Oklahoma Fishing Trail stickers have been delivered to marinas around the state, and the new metal marina signs are in and will be delivered and hung by

game wardens. This is great timing as ODOT will also be installing Fishing Trail signage this summer.

● Daniel Griffith continues to make improvements every day to the agency’s website. Just in the last two months over 1,400 pages have been eliminated. This makes it easier for the public to find the information they are looking for, decreases load times and increases search engine functionality.

● Due to the Commission meeting being a little later than normal this year, our regulation books will also be delivered a little later than normal. It is likely that they won’t be on store shelves until late July or early August.

● Colin Berg is leading an effort for the Education staff to create a series of short educational videos on basic how-tos such as how to catch a sunfish or proper stance when shooting a shotgun. Look for these soon on social media or the agency’s website.

● Damon Springer is working to locate 10 high school shooting teams to participate in a special sporting clays event in Wynnewood on August 8th. These students will be able to attend as guests at no charge and shoot alongside the pros.

WILDLIFE DIVISION

● The migratory bird biologist is making preparations to begin the dove banding process for this year. Locations around the state are staffed by Wildlife Div. biologists and technicians where doves are baited, trapped, and then banded and released. This ongoing program provides information on bird movement, harvest rates, and survivability. Should any Commissioners wish to participate or observe, opportunity will exist in each region of the State.

● Similarly, preparations and locations for resident goose banding are beginning. Each year during the summer molting period the geese become flightless for a short period of time. When that occurs, the birds can be herded into capture pens where they will be aged, sexed, banded and released. Like the dove bands, this program helps determine movement, survival, and harvest information. Opportunity exists for Commissioners to participate as several locations will be selected based on bird numbers and location.

● The peak deer fawning period is coming to an end for does bred during the first estrous cycle (rut). Abandoned deer calls will likely be high. It is important to remember that most fawns are not abandoned and that the mother is likely close by, but only returns to the fawn to feed it. Removing any fawns potentially spreads disease and likely will harm the fawn.

● Road maintenance/enhancements were made on 35 miles of roads, 2,117 tons of gravel placement/spread, 12 gates were maintained, 1.25 miles of new fence was constructed, and 119 parking areas were maintained.

● 866 acres of wetland unit draining was completed for management and to allow for summer vegetative growth.

● Controlled burns were conducted on 7 WMA’s totaling 10,993 acres and preparation began for growing season burns.

● Mowed/ strip disked / applied herbicide to manipulate 45 acres of habitat. ● Worked on and submitted new WMA plans and continued work on the WMA Plans

dashboard.

5

● Several staff were interviewed as part of the ongoing Pcard audit by OMES. ● 54 acres of food plots were planted to spring crops and food plot preparations were

made. ● Continuing monitoring grazing leases, water maintenance - solar pumps, windmills,

submersibles. ● Acoustic bat surveys were completed on several WMA's. ● Completed NRDA cedar/brush removal project at Ft. Supply WMA, and is still

ongoing at Canton WMA.

LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION ● Covid-19 update, all wardens have cloth masks, N95 masks, hand sanitizer and

sterile gloves for their everyday work. We have had no wardens test positive for Covid-19 across the state.

● Fishing activity has been very high over the Covid-19 epidemic. More people out fishing than we have ever seen in most areas.

● Emergency Management requested that we put four teams of 5 wardens each on standby in case of rioting during the protest in OKC and Tulsa areas. None of the teams were ever activated, but we did have a team of wardens at the office during the BLM march to the State Capital. No damage or problems occurred during the protest though.

● Vehicle exchanges have been going smoothly with the help of Johnny and Jimmy from the Property Section. I would like to thank both of them for their hard work during the pandemic to ensure that our trucks were still getting issued out the wardens.

● Training: District 1: Firearms training and qualifications June 19th at Owasso. District 2: No training scheduled for June. District 3: No training scheduled for June. District 4: Firearms training and qualifications June 12 at Tish. District 5: No training scheduled for June. District 6: Low light firearms training June 26 at Duncan. District 7: Firearms training and qualifications June 12 at Weatherford District 8: Firearms training and qualifications June 6 at Enid.

● Over the pandemic we have transitioned many of our in class training to online training. This has saved us money for fuel and travel time. It has also allowed officers from all over the state to attend the same training at one time.

MEMORANDUM DATE: June 3, 2020 TO: OK Department of Wildlife Commission and Staff FROM: Brittnee Preston RE: Report on April and May Federal and Congressional Issues for June Commission Meeting

COVID-19: Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, Congress has passed four bills to address the crisis and the effect it has had on the country. Below is a brief description of the bills passed so far and information on what is potentially on the horizon for future bills. Phase 1 Congress passed and the President signed a $8.3 billion package to address the coronavirus on March 6th. The package included extra funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), the State Department, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Also, it included $5 billion for coronavirus testing loan subsidies for small businesses. Phase 2 Passed on March 18th, the second stimulus bill includes $100 billion for paid sick leave, free coronavirus testing, expanded food assistance and expanded unemployment benefits. Phase 3 Congress passed the third stimulus package in response to COVID-19 on March 28th. The package includes $2 trillion for unemployment, individual and family relief aid, business loan funds and health care provisions such as hospital funding, required medical supply boost and requirements for coverage of COVID-19 testing and treatment. This marks the largest relief package in U.S. history. Phase 4 and possibly Phase 5 to come… The House and Senate have also discussed the possibility of working on two more stimulus packages. The fourth is expected to expand and extend the help to small businesses and health care that was in the last stimulus package and has seen an overwhelming amount of interest. The fifth could potentially come a bit later this spring and would be focused on infrastructure and creating jobs to get people back to work. On April 23rd, Congress passed a $484 billion stimulus package, their fourth since the start of the pandemic, which extended the small business payroll payment protection (PPP) program and relief for the healthcare industry. The House released their version of the next phase of stimulus aid this week and are slated to pass the bill tonight. It includes a few things directly related to wildlife. Below is a brief highlight of the wildlife provisions:

• HR 6800 “Health and Economic 6 Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act” (HEROS Act)- o Additional $50 M for State and Tribal Wildlife Grants o Additional $40 M for USGS Surveys, Investigations, and to remain available until September 30, 2021, for

technical assistance, bio surveillance of wildlife and environmental persistence studies and related research, database development, and accompanying activities

o Wildlife-Borne Disease Prevention Act of 2020 to address species that pose a risk to human health.

Instructs secretaries of relevant agencies to work together and maintain a list of species determined to be a risk.

Establishes a National database of wildlife disease. Requires recommendations and framework for mitigation strategies.

Establishes a one-time grant program for states to conduct epidemiological surveillance, research, management, and education relating to emerging wildlife disease

The House version of the bill is not expected to move in the Senate. I would assume the Senate will author their own version of the next stimulus package. The packages would then be negotiated at a leadership level before a final package is released. It is rumored that negotiations are underway. Wildlife update: Congress –

> The House passed a rule change to allow proxy voting due to the pandemic for those members unable to be physically present in DC to cast their vote.

> Appropriations update: o The House gave notification that committee markups for the FY 21 Appropriations bills will start in June.

> Committee work: o The Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee released their draft WRDA 2020 bills: the American

Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) and the Drinking Water Infrastructure Act. Due to the pandemic the Committee took a different approach to the typical hearing process for draft bills. They introduced the bills, and then accepted comments from the would be witnesses if an in-person hearing were held. The Committee passed the two water packages during the Senate’s first week back in session in May. The AWIA bill included provisions on handling invasive species and a provision instructing the

Army Corps of Engineers to make modifications at Lake Tenkiller to support the downstream fishery.

Agencies – > Department of the Interior (DOI)

o The Department of the Interior is beginning to reopen National Parks across the country. > Environment Protection Act (EPA)

o The EPW Committee released their draft WRDA 2020 bills this week, titled the American Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA).

BEFORE THE OKLAHOMA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION STATE OF OKLAHOMA

IN THE MATTER OF ) ) Fall Turkey Hunting Bag Limits ) Spring Turkey Hunting Bag Limits )

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, the population of wild turkeys residing in Oklahoma on privately owned and public land, exclusive of Atoka, Choctaw, Coal, Latimer, Leflore McCurtain, Pittsburgh and Pushmataha counties (“Southeast Region”) is established. However, population indices and professional observation recently indicate a declining population statewide, especially in western Oklahoma. Frequent constituent reports of reduced populations further validate field data and staff observations. WHEREAS, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation staff recommends that population concerns should be addressed by adjusting wild turkey bag limits. WHEREAS, Title 29, Section 2-149 of the Oklahoma Statutes, defines the term wildlife as “all wild birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and other wild aquatic forms, and all other animals which normally can be found in the wild state, regardless of classification.” Pursuant to that section, wild turkeys are a wildlife species governed by the Wildlife Conservation Code and therefore, the season can be established by resolution under Title 29, section 5-401(A) of the Oklahoma Statutes. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED THAT, Wild Turkey County Bag Limits, exclusive of the Southeast Region (which remains the same as set forth in the Resolution dated February 7, 2011), are hereby modified and substituted as follows for fall 2020 and spring 2021 hunting seasons, and shall remain in effect for future years until further modified or revoked:

2

FALL WILD TURKEY GUN SEASON Bag Limit – Except for the Southeast Region, which is closed to fall turkey hunting; and except for the counties of Ottawa, Delaware, Mayes, Rogers, Tulsa and Bryan, which are also closed to fall turkey hunting; all other counties shall have a one (1) tom only bag limit per county for the fall wild turkey hunting season. SPRING WILD TURKEY SEASON Bag Limit – Except for the Southeast Region, which has a combined county limit of one (1) tom; all counties shall have a one (1) tom only bag limit per county for the spring wild turkey hunting season. DONE the 17 day of June, 2020 in the regular and open meeting of the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission. _________________________ Bruce R.
