 Youth gun deer hunt Oct. 8-9 MADISON - The annual Wisconsin Youth Gun Deer Hunt will take place statewide on Oct. 8-9, for youth ages 10 -15.Under Wisconsin’s Mentored Hunting Law, now in its third season, hunters as young as 10 years of age may participate – with or without hunter education certification – in the youth gun deer hunt with a mentor. The mentored hunting law also allows deer hunting during later seasons. The early date of the hunt offers milder weather and allows more time in the field under more comfortable conditions for young hunters and their mentors. In addition to giving youths their own opportunity to experience the traditions of deer hunting in Wisconsin, the focus is on the youth and allows more time for the mentor to share skills and teach their charges how to hunt safely and ethically. There are several changes from last year’s youth gun deer hunt. The junior antlerless gun deer carcass tag will now be valid statewide for youth hunters, allowing them to use it in “buck only” units. A separate, unit specific, antlerless tag will not be required in these units. The hunt will be held in all deer management units (DMUs) statewide, except state park units, Ft. McCoy, Chambers Island, Menominee County and the Apostle Islands other than Madeline Island. Read more... FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT:
DNR and Wisconsin congressional delegation team up on wolf delisting comments MADISON – Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp announced today that the DNR and members of the Wisconsin congressional delegation are teaming up to present comments to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on the issue of gray wolf delisting in the Upper Great Lakes. Members of the Wisconsin congressional delegation have signed onto a letter presenting concerns about the USFWS proposal to reclassify the gray wolf in the eastern United States as a new species.The delegation, echoing concerns raised by the department, asked the USFWS to suspend it status review of the “eastern gray wolf” from its efforts to delist the gray wolf in Wisconsin. The members of Congress also offered their support for the delisting of the gray wolf in Wisconsin, calling the recovery of the gray wolf in Wisconsin a success story under the Endangered Species Act. “The department appreciates the support of these members of Congress in supporting our belief that clouding the delisting process by recognizing two physically indistinguishable species of wolves in Wisconsin is neither practical nor defensible,” Stepp said. Currently, Wisconsin has more wolves than any state other than Alaska and Minnesota. Population estimates range from 782 to 824 wolves, far exceeding both the Wisconsin Wolf Management Plan goal of 350 and the federal recovery goal of 100. “The gray wolf population has improved in our state beyond multiple recovery standards, and is a remarkable success story of endangered species management,” Stepp said. The USFWS will be taking comments through today, September 26. A decision by the USFWS on the two species issue is expected by the end of 2011.
