I dont waterfowl hunt myself so I don’t know the laws either. Some kind of agreement with the state to have a permanent population. I do know it’s opened up from previous years. At one time you couldn’t hunt them within a 5 mile radius. A few hundred birds leaving a few hundred #’s of dung a day...

I thought geese were Federally regulated. Our local CO has said he’d like to lower the # that winter locally but his hands are tied. 5k geese using the local lake as a septic tank isn’t helping water quality.

Seems like I’ve had to log in every day now even though I’ve got the “stay logged” box checked. I’ll pay extra attention tomorrow and see if it happens.

The fee is based on your residence. If you live in the county with the “reservation” it’s $2/acre. Bordering county, $3/acre. Farther out it sounds like it will be taxed as “ag” ground. My guess is that they are wanting to collect from NR’s that aren’t having to pay anything due to the current...

The catch with previous versions of the outfitter bill that I saw was it was a prerequisite that you had to be registered by June of 21 I think it was. Was that changed in this version? If you want land leased up and less opportunities for the non-landowners, this is the way to do it. Within 2...

I‘m thinking a salvage tag is needed for the complete head. That’s what we’re told around here.

Get that contract and I’m sure you’d have plenty of volunteer help. At 120k, we could all get new equipment and still have change for a beer afterwards.

Let’s just make it easy and solve multiple issues with one change. Eliminate the LOT altogether. Those that have issues on their “Ag” ground can apply for depredation tags. Nobody can whine about anyone getting 3 “buck” tags, nobody should feel discriminated against, and it eliminates the need...

Buddy said he saw drones over his place after dark a couple times last fall. Next thing, he’s getting calls and visits for permission to hunt. His son ended up getting a 200+ so it’s seems pretty obvious they were using them to scout.

Here’s a post from 5 yrs ago. I just skimmed through but it looks like bow hunting is cruel is the jist of it. For 120k, I’m sure they could get plenty of volunteers. I don’t know if it was revised but White Buffalo was guessing 10k deer which made for a good sales pitch I’m assuming...

If I remember correctly, the rationale was that “paid professionals” were a safer solution. I think it’s more than just IC also but I could be wrong. It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything.

Why is the change being considered? The DNR has reported abuse of landowner tags, including: Landowners’ children getting tags when they are not the actual landowner. Deceased individuals still being issued tags. Very small parcels (such as 2-acre lots in housing developments) qualifying for...

The trigger of this debate was the acreage limit. If the proposal had been 2 anysex tags and keeping the LOT floating I doubt we’d be 16 pages in. The whining from the other side that some might get 3 buck tags is just something to whine about. 80% of the people that get a LOT do not follow up...

If anyone has an accurate count of just how many people used 3 buck tags, I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. All we know is that a little over 6k took advantage and got them. Not all are small parcel tho. 3 bucks was the complaint and sacrificing the small parcel guys is an attempt to...

You were told correctly. It sounds like the justification is that it’s never had any funds in it.

This post would have been great on page 1

I don’t think any of us doubt what you’re saying here and as has been said many times before, your time and effort is appreciated. I also believe that the “fighting us for our one small request” would be muted if it was an across the board cut and not singling out a select few. We all want the...

Copied from an email from the DNR: Approximately 30,750 hunters purchased a LOT any-sex tag in the previous 2024-25 season. Of these hunters, 6,313 (20%) also purchased two additional any-sex tags. 22% were filled. 80% were antlered. The 22% is of the 30,750 so it will take more digging to get a...

Wasn’t trying to make that point, it wasn’t part of the question.

That’s an example of where the current rules need enforced. If he falsified his application in some way, it probably could be addressed. I guess if it’s in TR he can’t argue that he pays taxes on it either. I’m sure he’s not the only one doing it that way. Trying to get everything but row crop...
