Deer hunters in Wisconsin didn’t get nearly as many deer this year.
Meanwhile, a new plan at the capitol has deer in the crosshairs.
Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin are pushing what they are calling ‘health herd’ deer hunting laws. A number of Democrats yesterday introduced plans that would spend millions of dollars on CWD prevention. The first would use two million-dollars to better research CWD testing. The other would spend another two million-dollars to help get rid of deer carcasses across the state. State Rep. Katrina Shankland says hunting is a way of life in Wisconsin, and says a health deer population is key to keeping that going.
