The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is seeking public review of new rules to govern the Help Us Stop Hunger (HUSH) deer donation program. HUSH encourages hunters to shoot more deer and donate them for Iowa's needy.

A public hearing will be held on May 29 at 1:30 p.m. in the east 4th Floor Conference Room of the Wallace Building, 502 E. 9th St., in Des Moines. The objective of the hearing is to receive public input on how the HUSH program operates.

Interested persons may present their views at the hearing either orally or in writing. Written comments may be sent prior to the hearing to Ross Harrison, HUSH Coordinator, DNR, Wallace Building, Des Moines, IA, 50319-0034.

To request a copy of the proposed rules, contact Ross Harrison at Ross.Harrison@dnr.state.ia.us.
