RESULTS FOR 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.

YES 13% | NO 63% | MAYBE 13%
UNDECIDED 13% | OTHER 0% | IMPRESSIONS: 191

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 Change

This 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 State

MADISON – 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.

news_deerTopics will include 2010 harvest summaries and recommendations for 2011 season frameworks, increasing hunter survey participation and new deer research progress. Local wildlife biologists will be on hand at each meeting to provide information on local deer management units and answer questions.

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:

  • Wisconsin Sport Show in Eau Claire
  • Deer and Turkey Expo in Madison
  • Wisconsin Deer Classic and Hunting Expo in Green Bay
  • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sports Show in West Allis

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.
