First Wisconsin wild turkey season earns rave reviews
La Crosse area wildlife manager Ron Nicklaus calls Wisconsin's first wild turkey hunt in years a success with 180 turkeys shot across three five day seasons south of La Crosse. About 15 percent of 1,200 selected hunters were successful. Most hunters pursued on private land with few arrests, and rain and license limits limited overall take.

State adopts higher fees for fishing hunting boating and parks
The Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Finance Committee moved toward higher fishing and hunting license fees, approving increases for boating and park charges while rejecting a mandatory canoe registration. The plan envisions fishing and hunting fees rising in 1984, camping fees up, and state park admissions climbing, with a partial hold on canoe fees and a mix of resident and nonresident rate changes.

Wisconsin wildlife tax checkoff backed by subcommittee
A Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee subcommittee endorsed a voluntary income tax checkoff to fund endangered species programs and related damage compensation. If approved by the full Legislature, the 1984 tax forms would carry the option, with expected annual revenue of 750000 to 800000 dollars. Rep Marlin Schneider proposed a landowner damage fund after a bald eagle attacked his turkeys, but lawmakers voiced concerns about expanding checkoffs to other causes.
