Return DNR authority to implement EAB- Mark Noll
Noll brought up the notion that the DNR should be able to utilize the EAB (Earn-a-buck) hunting season once more. In areas that require high antlerless harvests just to sustain poulation this is extremely necessary. This was followed by lengthy discussion between members. Gohlke motioned to advance, Yingst seconted the motion. Motion is passed with the only restrictions being location of the EAB hunt and the consent of the County Deer Advisory Counsil (CDAC). -
Deer Tags
The discussion brought up the fact that free antlerless tags in 2014 were valid in any farmland unit. And in 2015 free antlerless tags can be unit specific. Motion made by Larry Bonde with second by Jay Koenig requesting the DNR Department make 2015 tags public & specific land specific in counties. Passed with only one in opposition to the idea. -
