Bear hunting debate centers on quota aim and methods
At a public hearing in Wisconsin about a proposed 2 day 500 bear season supporters and opponents urged a quota to control harvest. DNR researchers say current excess killing has cut the bear population from 6100 to 4100 and warn that to restore to 5500 annual kills must stay at 500 or less for 3-4 years.

The Assembly Tourism Recreation and Forest Productivity Committee endorsed an 11 day fisher trapping season from December 1 to 11 proposed by the Department of Natural Resources. Rep James Halperin said the rule would take effect unless the Senate objects with a 300 annual limit and a one fisher per trapper cap.

Non farm conservation groups push for new farm bill provisions
Sierra Club and allied groups led by the American Farmland Trust vow a hardball campaign to embed soil erosion controls in the 1985 farm bill. They seek a sodbuster penalty on plowed land and a conservation reserve paying idle land for up to 10 years, aiming to reduce erosion, raise prices, and cut federal outlays.
