Wisconsin DNR plans meetings on deer recommendations
MADISON--State wildlife officials are planning a series of public meetings on how to best implement a Texas researcher’s recommendations for improving Wisconsin deer hunting.
The first one is set for March 9 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The Department of Natural Resources is planning to hold a half-dozen more at the university through July. Attendees will be allowed to join action teams and offer input on which recommendations to implement and how to do it.
Gov. Scott Walker’s administration hired James Kroll last year to study deer hunting and how the DNR can improve its relationship with hunters. Kroll came up with 62 recommendations, including holding mini-hunts on private land, setting more localized deer population goals and a more passive approach to handling chronic wasting disease.

"Kroll came up with 62 recommendations, including holding mini-hunts on private land, setting more localized deer population goals and a more passive approach to handling chronic wasting disease."
I predict the end result will be more private deer farms with healthy deer for the wealthy hunters and using a passive approach to allow fewer and more sickly deer on public lands. This will drive hunters to the private game farms - for a "small" fee of course (like shooting into a herd of cattle with a guarantee of success). This will be the privatization of hunting and the DNR will be gone so nothing in nature is protected...the “natural” Republican way (survival of hunting for the most rich).
