Wisconsin lawmakers want to make sure the state’s hunting and fishing money is being spent on hunting and fishing.
The Legislative Audit Committee yesterday approved an audit of the Department of Natural Resources’ Fish and Wildlife Fund. Hunters and fishermen pay into the fee each year when they get or renew their licenses, and there is some worry that the DNR is using that money to pay for other projects. State Senator Rob Stafsholt says the DNR has tens-of-millions of dollars in the fund, and all of it should be earmarked for hunting, fishing, and natural resources conservation.
