Hunting restrictions have been lifted across Maine, the state’s commissioner of public safety, Michael Sauschuck, said Friday.

Earlier Friday, Sauschuck announced that hunting was prohibited in Lewiston, Lisbon, Bowdoin and Monmouth until further notice.

At Friday night’s news conference, Sauschuck said hunting would reopen tomorrow now that the body of mass shooting suspect Robert Card has been found.

“The resident hunting opportunity for tomorrow is open across the state of Maine to include those four communities,” he said.

Hunting season begins for residents in the state on Saturday, as CNN previously reported.

Past high-profile law enforcement manhunts have impacted hunters, such as the 2014 manhunt for an accused cop-killer in Pennsylvania. During that weeks-long search, Pennsylvania authorities temporarily restricted hunting in certain regions of the state being searched by law enforcement, citing public safety concerns.

CNN’s Sara Smart, Michelle Watson and Josh Campbell contributed reporting.
