COHA Partners with CWA's Unattached Hunters Committee on Hunt Plan for Federal Refuges
The California Outdoor Heritage Alliance (COHA) and the California Waterfowl Association's (CWA) Unattached Hunters Committee (UHC) recently provided written comments on the draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Complex, which includes Sacramento, Sutter, Delevan and Colusa NWRs. The final CCP, which could be adopted as early as this fall, will dictate the number and types of public hunting opportunities provided on thousands of acres of federal lands in the Sacramento Valley for at least the next 15 years.
Our shared goal is to ensure an equitable and fair distribution of different hunting opportunities (e.g. blinds, free roam, assigned ponds, etc.) while avoiding or minimizing any further restrictions on users of the refuge system. While best known for its waterfowl and pheasant hunting, it should also be noted that, under the draft CCP, the Sacramento NWR Complex hunt program could also be expanded to include limited turkey and dove hunting.
Over the last several years, the COHA/CWA UHC has also provided input on the hunt plans for many other NWRs, including Humboldt Bay NWR, Stone Lakes NWR, Lower Klamath NWR, Modoc NWR, Don Edwards NWR, Salinas River NWR and Sacramento River NWR.
