The plan to protect the deer population in northern Wisconsin by pausing the doe hunt is on its way at the State Capitol.
The Assembly yesterday approved a four-year pause on antlerless deer hunting in the Northern Forest Zone. Supporters say Wisconsin needs to do something to help the deer herd grow. Doe hunt numbers from last fall show a 15 percent drop. Hunters say they’ve seen fewer and fewer deer over the past several years. The plan now heads to the Wisconsin Senate.
