A Natural Resources Board study committee tasked with finding alternatives to the current deer herd control proposals (Earn-a-Buck) have layed out two proposals in a publication, “Report on Effective Alternatives to Existing Herd Control Methods (EAB).“

Both proposals suggest expanding the traditional nine-day rifle season to a sixteen-day season.  One proposal would start one week before the traditional Saturday rifle season opener (two Saturdays before Thanksgiving), while the other proposal would start the sixteen day season on the traditional Saturday before Thanksgiving.

For an in depth analysis of the committee‘s work and the suggested hunting season date changes and incentives please follow the following link: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/nrboard/2009/August/08-09-6A.pdf

These recommendations were recently submitted to the Department of Natural Resources, which is in the process of reviewing the proposals.  The committee‘s recommendations may be developed as rule proposals and submitted to the legislature for review.
