Wis.DNR and Local Govt. are major reasons why people dont
enjoy hunting here:
Regulations are written to ensnare hunters with costly fines for minor infractions.
DNR Wardens are unfriendly and overpaid,the DNR can actually enter private property without a warrant, technically they could kick your door down for 1 too many bluegills in your cooler.
Having a major nut for a govenor who continually raises fees
for liscenses doesnt help either.
Nor to my knowledge do they need probably cause. I've had the experience.
The anti gun nuts have accomplished more by attrition than by any legislation.
Another generation or two and the PETA @$$holes will do a 180 and form an anti animal coalition ... the friggin' world is just plain nuts.
Bingo.
Make it hard enough to hunt and pretty soon people quit fighting the battle.
Yes, my party was hassled last Monday. They insisted that we open our gun cases and demonstrate our weapons were empty even though we said we were done hunting. The one ranger looked like Garrison Keillor, with hemmoroids.
And adding to your post the flagrant fascism of the Conservation dept., USDA and Humane Society and we're ALL screwed!
Funny how when it comes to Chronic Wasting they never mention the fact it is caused by eating forage that has succomed to months and months of drought conditions, nothing to do with hunting.
At the time the CWD 'crisis' was discovered WI had suffered years of horrid drought much like TX OK and KS recently.
