Okay kids, here's your chance for some face time with Fish and Game:

CONCORD, N.H. -- The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department will hold two biennial hearings in December, giving the general public an opportunity to offer input on any aspect of Department operations. The two sessions will be held:

Tuesday, December 10, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. at N.H. Fish and Game’s Region 1 Office on Route 3 (629B Main Street) in Lancaster, N.H., and

Wednesday, December 11, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. at N.H. Fish and Game headquarters, 11 Hazen Drive, in Concord, N.H.
“We welcome hunters, anglers and others who care about wildlife in New Hampshire to attend one of these biennial hearings and share your ideas about how we can serve you better,” said Glenn Normandeau, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.

Biennial hearings are held in odd-numbered years to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on and suggest changes to fishing and hunting rules, wildlife management strategies and other Fish and Game functions. Members of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission, Executive Director Normandeau and other Fish and Game staff will be present at the hearings to answer questions.

I would like to comment on the need for a better defined explanation of when a S&R would cause a fine. Are these meetings an appropriate opportunity for that?

My question would be: if I follow the Hike Safe code (have the appropriate knowledge/fitness/gear for my trip, heed the weather, leave an itinerary, attempt self-rescue), is it acceptable to be solo?

My whole purpose in posting this was to encourage folks with questions like yours to make an appearance at the hearings. You won't have a better chance to pose your questions. Just be prepared for a crowd of people wanting to talk about issues related to hunting and fishing.
