Hunters May Be Required to Report Kills in Wisconsin
A proposed legislature measure would force Badger hunters to file a season kill list with the conservation commission.

Minnesota logged one million ducks and about 20 000 deer last year, suggesting Wisconsin totals could reach 30 000 given broader hunting belts.
