GOP bill would end restrictions on spring hound hunting and training in northern Wisconsin
From Wisconsin Public Radio:
A GOP proposal would eliminate restrictions for hound hunting and training on wild animals during the spring in northern Wisconsin, drawing support from hound hunters and opposition from animal protection groups.
Sen. Romaine Quinn, R-Cameron, and Rep. Chanz Green, R-Grand View, are lead authors of the legislation.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources currently bars people from hunting or training with dogs on free-roaming wild animals from May 1 to June 30 on any public or private lands in northern Wisconsin. The restricted area extends along a line north of U.S. Highway 8 in northwestern Wisconsin to State Highway 22 in northeastern Wisconsin.
