BACKGROUND: Natural Resources Board Eyes State Land Lead Ban

pollpic-bulletsMadison – In the February 11 issue of Wisconsin Outdoor News, Tim Eisele writes: Sportsmen will be asked on April 11 if they support the banning of lead shot and slugs in shotguns for hunting on state land starting in 2015.

That advisory question came from Natural Resources Board member Dave Clausen on January 26, following four hours of presentations on lead fishing tackle and ammunition to the NRB on January 25.

These clinics will be held from late February through late March.

Spring Fish and Wildlife Rules Hearings Questionnaire Available Online

MADISON – The questionnaire package for the 2011 Department of Natural Resources Spring Fish and Wildlife Rules Hearing and Annual Conservation Congress County Meeting and the list of meeting locations is now available for review on the Department of Natural Resources website.

On Monday, April 11, there will be 72 public hearings, one in each Wisconsin county starting at 7 p.m. where individuals interested in natural resources management will have an opportunity to provide their input by non-binding vote and testimony to the Department of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Board and the Conservation Congress on proposed hunting and fishing rule changes and advisory questions. Printed copies of the questionnaire will be available after March 1.

The hearings, held annually, are combined with the county meetings during which residents can vote on and introduce their solutions to natural resources related issues.

The spring hearings cover three major areas: elections for county Conservation Congress delegates; proposed wildlife and fisheries rule changes that have been developed through previous Conservation Congress meetings; and Conservation Congress proposals for future rule development.
