IMO, granting ownership of wild animals on personal property to the state, is just wrong. If you have a 15,000 acre property, you are going to have plenty of wild animals on it. They are yours.

I understand your point, but that's not the law, they belong to the people of the State of Wisconsin. If you want them to be your's, you can get a permit to operate a game farm, lot's of people do, even more get fish farm licenses. And although there are other regulations, the regular hunting regulations don't apply. And if "your" animals "wander" off your property, you've got a whole different set of potential problems.

I do think wildlife management is important, and while I'd love to have exemptions for game animals as a landowner, as exist for pests, I recognize that a lack of regulation is probably not in the best interest of either wildlife managment hunting.

Thanks for your comments. I understand where you are coming from, even if I don’t necessarily agree with you. If we were to dig deeper, I might agree with you more than it appears on the surface. Take care.
