INSTANT SURVEY VOTE ON – POLL s529:
Do you agree with the emergency rule that prohibits bowhunters from shooting antlerless deer in 19 DMUs that are more than 20 percent below their population goal levels?
Agree or Disagree… bowhunter anterless deer prohibition?

Background:

Traditionally, bowhunters have been allowed to take a deer of either sex in any Deer Management Unit (DMU) in the state. Many hunters, however, believe that in DMUs where gun hunters are not allowed to take antlerless deer the same rule should apply to bowhunters. An emergency rule has been enacted to that effect in 19 DMUs.

In a recent issue of Wisconsin Outdoor News, Tim Eisele writes:

It’s here. “No bow doe” rules will be in place for 19 deer units this fall. Antlerless deer carcass tags issued this fall with archery hunting licenses will only be allowed to be used in deer units where an antlerless deer quota exists.
