Must not teach math and comprehension in Michigan either. Wi is way more than double the size of WV so double the population isn’t even keeping up. We have lots of deer in WI, but the DNR is not responsible. We would have lots less if it was up to them. Maybe we need to explore bear. WV harvested 2800+ bears last year while WI only harvested 2900+. Numbers don’t appear to be working in WI favor for bear either. All that said, twenty some bucks for a deer license to shoot the queen’s deer is cheap. Especially when I can shoot three with it.

I dont think you can compare bear numbers harvested...if Im not mistaken,, bear licenses in WV are over the counter, in fact, not sure you even need a licence if you hunt them on your property. If Wisconsin was over the counter, or no licence needed to hunt your own land, Im fairly confident that Wisconsin would dwarf them numbers as well. Im not defending your DNR, but sometimes folks make some pretty silly statements in their attempts to make a point. Sounds like some Wisconsin folks should move to WV since things are so great.

we do not have near the Farmland that Wisconsin does but we have better practices than burning during a nesting season. This is an incorrect statement. All of the local Rx burns this year were the first two weeks of April which is during the nesting season. It is this time every year give or take a week depending on weather.

Me thinks... RB will find anything negative in what he posts.. Some people find negatives in anything, and think they know everything.

Just like clear cutting it looks terrible but is vital to maximizing growth, mature trees feed very little wildlife but people just see the mess. It will feed a lot of wildlife and provide cover before thinning itself out in time but most folks don’t look that far ahead.
I think of the time I helped a buddy cut up hackberry trees in town years back people would drive by complaining doing the SJW thing. If they would of asked or looked closer they would have noticed the sidewalks were buckled causing trip hazards and the trees centers were rotted both a hazard to church goers. People being people.

DanN, be glad your state is investing in natural resources by raising license prices. Wisconsin resident prices have been mostly stagnant for 25 years and the DNR is going broke. Hard to attract and retain top talent with no money. The DNR is going broke?

"The Wisconsin DNR says the state’s fish and wildlife account is approaching a deficit. This is due to a number of different reasons. The account is approaching a $16 million deficit by the year 2026, this funds 20% of the department workforce which is about 500 positions. “The account is the primary funding source for a couple of pretty visible programs in the DNR, you got your fisheries management program, your wildlife management program, and your law enforcement program,” said Paul Neumann the Budget and Policy Section Chief of the Wisconsin DNR."

HA HA HA!! WV does Burns???? HA HA HA!!! Yes they have prescribed burns most years on both the George Washington National Forest and the Monongahela National Forest in WV. It is part of the USFS management plan for the forests.

Anything the DNR gets their hands on they screw up. Ever increasing liscence fees and we have less game and fish than 20-30 years ago here. 30 years ago in this area there was and abundance of quail, pheasant, rabbits, and doves - not anymore. The smaller waterways were full of fish, mussels, large frogs, crayfish, turtles,ducks and muskrat - these are now nowhere near as plentiful as the used to be and every year there seems to be less sign of them - some places they are all but gone. The DNR is failing here. What has the IDNR done to cause the population of quail, pheasants, rabbits, doves, crayfish, frogs, ducks, muskrats, turtles, fish, mussels to decrease? I believe the IDNR has caused the deer population to fall in Indiana, especially in certain parts of the state with liberal doe tags(thank God they have slacked off on that), but the other critters you listed losing wildlife habitat is the biggest cause in our state for the decline in wildlife populations. The IDNR can't stop shopping malls and subdivisions from being built and farmers taking out fence rows to get another row of corn in the ground,

I remember a few years ago here. The DNR did a little controlled burn and they ended up burning thousands of acres and a few people’s homes and they tried blaming it on a local farmer. I’m a big fan of controlled burns for regrowth but the DNR has very little competence and understanding of how to manage land imo. All the state land we got around here has buckthorn/ cattails/ and sumac… so much of it you can’t even walk through the god forsaken stuff
