I am not familiar with what WI defines as game animals versus non game animals but the above does seem reasonable. But it only applies to non game animals. What about game animals? Deer , Bear , Turkey all require a crop damage tag to be taken out of season , as I understand it anyone with a valid hunting license can work as the agent of the land owner yet but the land owner must apply for the crop damage tags. America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Quote Deer , Bear , Turkey all require a crop damage tag to be taken out of season , as I understand it anyone with a valid hunting license can work as the agent of the land owner yet but the land owner must apply for the crop damage tags. Sounds similar to what we have except that a WCA license is required to do any nuisance control work outside of season for compensation with the only exception being beaver. With a WCA license, we can write the permit to take the offending critter/s except for deer, bear or turkey and protected species. For deer, bear or turkey, we have to get a permit issued by a warden or biologist. Two day class and test required to get WCA license and annual renewal. Quarterly reporting also.
