Sunday is the last day to provide comments on a proposal to adopt a rule that would outlaw the killing of predatory and fur-bearing animals in contests. Game and Fish officials say the commission’s intent in adopting this rule is to address social concerns associated with hunting contests that award prizes to participants who kill the largest number or variety of predatory or fur-bearing animals. Officials say the proposed rule would not apply to lawful, regulated hunting of predatory and fur-bearing animals. All comments received will become part of the official record and will be evaluated before a Notice of Final Rule-making is taken to the Commission for its consideration. If approved, the final rule would then be reviewed by the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council. Comments can be submitted by mail or email;
