Spring hearings

[Cooter]

I heard a rumor that the list of topics for the annual DNR spring hearings are available. Anyone else hear anything? I'm gonna have to hit the DNR HSOforum.

What are every ones thoughts on the recent votes?

I was glad to see the early catch and release season for muskies get voted against - just a rediculous idea.

Was also glad to see that, although close, the majority voted to eliminate baiting and feeding of deer statewide.

The wolf season issue was favored, no surprise, although I see an actual seasons years away.

Hopefully will get some min size limits for muskies raised - wish the increase for Green Bay would have been included again....although for some crazy reason a huge vote in favor of an increase still never made it into the books last year.

I need to go back to the 3 questions on the early bass season and look at the numbers. Personally, I'd much rather see an increase in size limits than any changes catch and release wise.

Kind of glad to see baititng hopefully on the way out. Hopefully the WI legislator approves it. Dont know why but the NRB has no control (approval power) over this topic. Heard that they make turkey registration phone in like geese, any truth to this?

The phone in turkey reg was on the list and I'm quite sure it was voted in favor of.
