Very frustrating to say the least.

My guess is someone couldn't handle the gray area and pushed on it instead of just leaving alone. Same thing happened on ROW. Folks just couldn't live with the perceived gray area so they ensured it was put in black and white. Only problem was we all lost when it was put in black and white.

Maybe someone will ask in the Fur Harvest committee meeting when and why it was changed, but more importantly, why it doesn't appear it went through the normal rule proposal process.

It went through the normal rule making process. It was under DNR Scope statement 066-15. Conceived in 2015 under DNR biologist John Olson, who was numerously honored by our own WTA brass. The rule was titled Clearing House rule 16-037 (CR 16-037) and it had one hearing for public comment on June 29th 2016 in Madison. Clearing house rules are those that are supposed to have little effect on those affected. Although it appears that it may not have been the case here, eh?

Thank you John for one of your final gifts to us before your retirement

Mr. Olson was at our last fur school He never made eye contact with me. I guess he knows how us trappers feel about him. Or at least me.

I stand corrected. Thanks Fox Claw for posting the correct information.

Looks like that was done at the same time that they decided they needed to defined a culvert instead of just eliminating that dumb rule.

The hearing on June 29, 2016 had no public appearances. Guess Muskrat was on his couch that day, LOL. See more details here: https://dnr.wi.gov/About/NRB/2016/December/12-16-2B2.pdf

I think I remember you bringing up the culvert definition change on this forum. I remember us discussing it, but not sure why we didn't catch the other change. I do remember thinking we should just work to eliminate the culvert restriction on colony traps instead of worrying about the definition.

On a side note, any idea if they plan to use that same process on any beaver trapping changes? As part of the beaver management plan, the state was proposing to change some rules. Some of those made the Conservation Congress spring hearing, some didn't. Using bait out of season for beaver was one that had broad support, but it didn't make the spring hearing. Any idea on why that one fell off the radar?

Glad to see you back posting Fox Claw. Your ability to find critical information is unmatched!

Despite the statewide vote having supported paying a bounty for people registering a CWD infected deer, the WCC decided to advise the state NOT to proceed with the bounty program. Just thought I'd provide that update.
