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.
