New Wisconsin Reg Question

Unread postby DropTyne » Wed Aug 06, 2014 2:54 pm

I was gonna post this in the state thread, but knew it would get more traffic here, so hopefully someone can help me out..... I know the top two thirds of the state (northern forest, central farmland) have a single buck limit for archery. I see that the southern farmland zone has an earn a buck regulation in place. So my question is this..... If I shoot a buck in the northern forest zone can I travel down to the southern farmland zone and dump a doe and continue to hunt bucks in the southern farmland zone with the earn a buck? Any interpretations of the new rules?

I would also agree with other posts, but if you really want to know for sure so there is no doubt, call the DNR.

Yes

You can kill a Northern Zone buck and keep hunting in Southern Zone EAB

This is my plan! :mrgreen:

However, you are only allowed one bonus buck compared to years past in the CWD zone. For example, if you kill one "northern" buck with the bow, one "northern" buck with the rifle, and one southern farmland buck with the rifle, you can't kill another southern farmland buck with the bow. You'd need to take your killing spree to another state.

You would need to buy an exta tag and based on the new system you would need to buy that tag for either public or private land in the county you were going to hunt. I think I'm correct in saying this? If I'm correct I think the best way to mannage your tags then would be to buy your extra public or private county southern farmland tag and fill that. Then you have an earn a buck with sticker and a non specific southern farmland tag. This would be helpful if you were hunting in more than one county and diffent types of land public or private.

This applies to the additional antlerless tags. You shouldn't need to buy an extra tag to do the bonus buck. It comes with the license.
