The Department of Game, Fish, and Parks is making three main changes to water safety and hunting rules. First, Lawrence County's Iron Creek Lake is now designated as a "no wake zone" instead of being repealed. Second, the Lake Albert State Waterfowl Refuge in Grant County is being eliminated from the list of refuges, while Big Stone Power Plant Waterfowl Refuge remains. Third, the Hunt for Habitat raffle is being restructured to allow up to ten big game licenses total (combining deer, elk, and bison tags in various combinations) instead of the previous specific allocation of individual licenses, though nonresidents are still limited to one license package per drawing.
