DNR ends "Earn A Buck"

from jsonline.com

Madison — Out with Earn-A-Buck regulations and the October gun hunt for antlerless deer.

In with unlimited antlerless permits in most of Wisconsin and a plea for hunters to harvest enough deer to bring the population closer to goal.

With a 7-0 vote at its Wednesday meeting, the Natural Resources Board approved a package of hunter-friendly regulations for the 2011 Wisconsin deer hunting seasons.

And in the process, it expressed its fervent wish to kill a deer hunting bill circulating in the Legislature.

The 2011 deer regulations package, proposed by the Department of Natural Resources in response to hunter complaints, includes less aggressive herd control tools than at any point in the last decade.
