Wisconsin Presses for Goose Quota Change in 1984 Season
The Wisconsin DNR objects to the 18 000 goose quota for 1984 and doubts persuading Washington to raise it. Secretary Besaday travels to negotiate with the U S Fish and Wildlife Service amid slim optimism as the state weighs reacting by urging hunters to skip migratory feeding sites. The 14 state Mississippi Flyway Council recommended keeping 1983 levels at 18 000 for Wisconsin, 27 000 for Illinois, with Wisconsin offering to widen Horicon Marsh hunts. Wisconsin claimed state kills of 41 000 versus 31 000 counted by the DNR.

Young bald eagle freed after recovering from lead poisoning
A one year old bald eagle found near death beside a road last month in Wisconsin has been cured of lead poisoning. The bird was treated at the University of Minnesota and released by air to Minocqua with a Republic Airlines flight. Banded in Polk County last spring, the eagle weighed about six pounds on rescue and 90 pounds after recovery, with hopes it will return to the wild.
