Title: ●Migratory Bird Hunting; Proposed 2003-2004 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations (Preliminary) With Requests for Indian Tribal Proposals 
Abstract: This rule would establish annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2003-2004 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks) within which States may select hunting seasons. We also request proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide hunting opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory bird population status and habitat conditions.
