New Game Laws Change Wisconsin Hunting and Fishing Rules
A Madison measure proposes broad game protections, banning sale of all game in the state and restricting fishing and hunting practices. It prohibits inland trout shipments without accompanying paperwork, spearing of sturgeon and catfish, and spearing pickerel in spawn. Pike may be taken on specific lakes and rivers, while sales of certain species during closed seasons are barred. Open water shooting of aquatic fowl ends. decoy limits are set. Quail protection extends to 1905, ferret hunting for rabbits and squirrels on owned land is allowed, beaver protection is perpetual, and set-line gear rules limit tags and seasons. Deer hides may be bought from out of state for domestic manufacture. All boats and firearms used in violations become contraband. lake water nets near harbors are banned. confiscated proceeds benefit state charities.
