Wisconsin bears may face half harvest and brief seasons
Wildlife biologists propose halving the Wisconsin black bear harvest for the coming years including a two day season with permits and tags issued for taking only 500 bears. Bruce Moss of the DNR Northwest District says the bear population has been hunted harder than it can tolerate. About 65 percent of the annual harvest comes from 12 northwestern counties.

Bears harvest to drop to 500 next year in Wausau plan
Managers in Wausau last week discussed a permit and tag system to limit the 2006 bear harvest to 500, with a future bear quota. The DNR meeting aimed to reduce harvest to an acceptable level for the resource. Preliminary bear season results show about 1,080 taken, above last year’s totals.

Wisconsin deer harvest tops national list behind Texas
A Wisconsin deer kill of 251795 during the nine day gun season ends Nov 25 sets a state record and positions Wisconsin as the second largest deer hunting state after Texas. Frank Haberland, chief of big game management, notes the historic harvest surpasses last year’s 197606 and reflects a herd expansion not seen since 1850 records. The state may seek a big hunt again next year, weather and herd dynamics permitting.
