Wisconsin deer shining rule faces conflict with law
Wisconsin DNR proposed changes to crop damage rules would permit high powered spotlights and loaded uncased rifles for crop damage permits, prompting a Joint Committee vote that suspended prohibitions. Despite applause from farmers, legal counsel questioned timing and argued the move may clash with state anti shining laws. Meanwhile tribal and public input analyzed subsistence rights and hunting gear under Chippewa treaty provisions, with debate over modern equipment and regulation. The piece also shifts to a wildlife note on the towhee bird, its Wisconsin distribution, migratory patterns, and a local sighting, ending with contact details for reader comments.
