We see no reason for these rules to be repealed. Hounders use their dogs against wildlife with few restrictions year round and this is the only time that wildlife isn't harassed or attacked.

This very small time period is all that protects nesting birds, bears, wolves, and other wildlife from being harassed and attacked by hounds in these ecologically sensitive areas. This bill serves no purpose other than to harass wildlife.

May 1-June 30 is a critical time for a lot of wildlife in our forests, including ground-nesting birds, elk calves and deer fawns, bear cubs, wolf pups, bobcat kittens, and others. These animals need this quiet period for birthing and raising young.

Bill extends the dates for dog training in Northern Wisconsin to the same as Southern Wisconsin. No documented problems with the training in Southern Wisconsin. DNR lands exempt. DNR did not raise any concerns about the bill.
