 Do you favor changing the minimum size limit from 15 inches to 18 inches and the daily bag limit from 5 fish to 3 fish for walleye, sauger and hybrids in 19 southern Wisconsin counties and other waters? BACKGROUND: Proposed Walleye Regulation ChangeThis year's Spring Fish & Game Rules Hearings Questionnaire includes a question on this topic. An 18-inch size limit is expected to increase walleye populations in southern Wisconsin waters and, in turn, increase angler catch rates. Anglers will harvest fewer walleyes, but the total pounds of walleyes harvested is expected to increase over time. | |||||||||

Wisconsin Deer Management Unit Information Forums to Be Held Around the StateMADISON – A series of deer management public information forums are scheduled across the state in March. These forums are for anyone interested in deer and the most up to date deer management unit information.
The meetings are intended to share information with the public about Wisconsin deer management and how it is applied in the local areas where they live, hunt or farm. The local wildlife biologist will provide a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period. Some meetings may also have an open house format, allowing attendees to stop in anytime during the scheduled time. People are encouraged to attend the meetings that cover the deer management units they are interested in (see the list of deer management unit meetings in the DNR Hearing and Meeting Calendar), but are welcome to attend any of the meetings. People who are unable to attend any of the forums also have an opportunity to discuss the units with DNR wildlife staff at the:
Additional information about the forums is available on the DNR website FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Dan Hirchert, Madison (608) 264-6023, Bob Manwell (608) 264-9248 or area wildlife biologists listed for the meeting locations in the meeting calendar. | |||||||||

 INSTANT SURVEY VOTE ON - POLL s610 Because of concerns about the continuing effects of lead shot on wild game and non-game birds in Wisconsin: • Do you favor requiring the use of non-toxic shotgun ammunition for all hunting/shooting activities, with the exception of department-approved shooting ranges, on department-managed lands? • This proposal would not apply to any form of hunting with rifles or slugs and would not be implemented until 2015 to allow a transition period for retailers and hunters. BACKGROUND: Use of non-toxic shot on DNR lands Wisconsin was an early leader in adopting non-toxic shot regulations for waterfowl, and has implemented non-toxic shot regulations for dove hunting on DNR properties. Lead continues to be used, however, for hunting upland game species on DNR properties. Being popular hunting destinations, these areas enjoy heavy use by our sporting public. But a consequence of their popularity is the heavy burden of lead shot being deposited on DNR-managed lands, resulting in continued contamination of these sites and the predictable negative consequences for our waterfowl, gamebirds and other wildlife.This is question No. 45 on the DNR Spring Hearings Questionnaire, which citizens will be asked to vote on at hearings throughout the state on April 11.

 Are you knowledgeable about the outdoors? If so, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources needs your help with an upcoming bear population study.It’s easy, fun – and purposeful. Participants will help DNR scientists update the state black bear population estimate. Last completed in 2006 by the DNR with help from the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the study is used to sustainably manage the bear population. Here is how to get involved -- and what you’ll be asked to do as part of this important study:
The baits are loaded with food containing the antibiotic tetracycline. Tetracycline leaves a mark on bone tissue. During the bear hunting season, hunters will be asked to provide a rib sample which will show if the bear ate the tetracycline. DNR scientists will use information on the number of baits eaten by bears, bears harvested and harvested bears marked tetracycline to estimate the population. The 2006 study showed the bear population was much larger than other studies had suggested. In an effort to keep current on bear population trends, the DNR’s bear management plan calls for repeating this population study every five years. The final results of this upcoming study will be available in 2013. The DNR sends an early thanks to the Wis. Bear Hunters Association whose members already have volunteered to set and to check baits as part of this spring’s study. They also will build about 4,000 bait boxes and help find baiting material. Their participation was critical to the success of the 2006 research, and the DNR looks forward to working with the group and – and the new volunteers -- again this year.
