Commission Minutes-May 2, 2005 2896 Mr. Pawluk said the bow hunting subcommittee put a lot of time into the issue and received input from the residents, Sheriff Rudnick and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. The committee had already recommended not allowing hunting in Orchard Glen because of other recreational uses there; and in visiting with Stanley Township, it became obvious the people of Forest River had strong feelings against the proposal. He and Mr. Wagner are in agreement to keep the county's no hunting policy on county-owned flood lots in effect. Richard Thomas, Forest River property owner, said he appreciates the time that has gone into this discussion and agrees with the recommendation that hunting not be allowed. He would like to see the area used by more citizens for nature walks and recreational purposes other than hunting. Mr. Pawluk said he hopes the neighborhood residents would be open to allowing hunters with disabilities to use the area on a short-term basis. 19.
