Commission discusses accessible firearm hunting proposal for Clinton Trails County Park
Summary
Chair Chuck Nelson opened discussion about offering an accessible firearm hunting opportunity at Clinton Trails County Park that would close the park for a day in October, modeled on staff-managed waterfowl hunting previously held at Clinton Lakes County Park.
During old business on Feb. 6 Chair Chuck Nelson opened discussion on offering a firearm accessible hunt at Clinton Trails County Park that would require closing the park for a day in October. Commissioners compared the proposal to staff-managed waterfowl hunting previously conducted at Clinton Lakes County Park, and members raised questions about how such a hunt would be managed and staffed.
Public participants raised management concerns: Trish Martens said Riley Township residents had questions about how an accessible hunt would be organized and offered, and commissioners noted that staff has experience running one-day park closures for hunting at other county parks. The commission did not take a formal vote at this meeting; the item remains under discussion with committee and staff follow-up anticipated.
