LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska Game and Parks commissioners are set to consider changes to the state’s big-game hunting regulations.

The Board of Commissioners is expected to finalize hunting regulations for the 2011 deer, antelope and elk hunting seasons.

Commissioners are scheduled to meet at Ponca State Park on May 27. A public hearing on the big-game hunting recommendations is set for 8:30 a.m. The meeting begins at 8 a.m. at the Missouri National Recreational River Resource and Education Center.

The commission announced that the board also will consider an easement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Indian Cave State Park to construct a 27-acre backwater chute along the Missouri River. The easement would allow for a fish and wildlife habitat.
