Upcoming Deer Hunting Legislation
Legislation in response to
what deer hunters have been saying for years is finally in the works. While
the DNR occasionally may suspend some of the unpopular programs like
Earn-a-Buck and October T-Zones, it is time to preserve the integrity of
Wisconsin’s deer hunting season.
Many DNR deer hunting programs have been wildly unpopular and ineffective,
yet the DNR has been slow to respond. In fact, the DNR’s own numbers
indicate that deer hunting populations have continued to grow. Conversely,
restrictive regulation has turned many hunters away from the sport.
That is why I am proud to cosponsor legislation authored by Senator Terry
Moulton and Representative Tom Tiffany aimed at ensuring the long-term
economic and social future of Wisconsin’s deer hunting heritage. As studies
have revealed, the social acceptance of deer management policy is critical
to the success of any management plan. Without a buy-in from hunters and
landowners it is doomed to fail. Deer hunting in Wisconsin creates more than
$1 billion of economic activity annually, and supports 16,000 jobs. I look
forward to this legislation moving forward in the coming weeks.
