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.

Public Meetings for Inland Trout Fishing

From the Wisconsin DNR Weekly News

MADISON -- Trout anglers can attend one of more than 30 meetings across the state in late March and early April to give feedback on inland trout fishing now and express their hopes for the future.

The public meetings, part of Wisconsin's review of inland trout fishing, come as recent studies are showing increased brook and brown trout populations, more trout streams, and changes in angler attitudes and habits.

“As secretary I hope all people will take full advantage of this opportunity to help the department better manage this critical resource,” says Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp. “I am very interested in seeking your ideas on DNR program improvements that matter to the citizens of Wisconsin. We can't do this without your help.”
