DNR Conservation Hearings - results in our favor:)

Despite the fact that our WI DNR held a hearing Monday April 13 in Sayner WI, ran out of ballots, and did not have space in the Community Center to hold all interested parties, some state-wide Conservation Hearing Results favored our local interests.

** A big win for snowmobilers as both the muzzleloader seasons were voted down

#60 2546 Yes 4174 NO
#61 2432 Yes 4440 NO

It's hard to imagine how a deer hunting season could have been seriously considered during Christmas Week and New Years in Wisconsin! Luckily the opposition was strong and this proposal was voted down.
