Wisconsin, if you enjoy hunting, fishing, trapping, and believe in the importance of conservation, you should contact your state senator and ask (heck, downright plead) for them to vote NO on Senate Bills 774 and 775.
If you read our previous article on the declining number of hunters in the U.S., it’s clear that we as sportsmen and women need more access to places where we can hunt and fish and enjoy the outdoors.
According to Sportsmen’s Alliance Legislative Action Center Wisconsin Sen. Fred A. Risser (D-Madison) introduced two bills that would ban trapping and hunting in all state parks.
Senate Bill 774 deals with banning foothold and body-gripping traps in states parks, and Senate Bill 775 speaks about banning all forms of hunting in all state parks. Both have reportedly been assigned to the Senate Sporting Heritage, Mining, and Forestry Committee.
For the moment, lets set aside the nightmare that both of these bills could potentially become a law . . . If only one were to pass and become state law, Wisconsin’s economy would take a direct hit. Not to mention what the lack of proper conservation will do.
 
When I read the header for this thread I thought: it must be a Democrat from either Milwaukee or Madison who introduced such an ill conceived bill. Sure enough, left wing Freddie Risser from Madison is the author of the bill. To me, this is the disconnect between the Democratic politicians from the cities and the rest of the population of WI who live in more rural areas.
 
Ditto JFK52... well said.

Living in NY State, we face the same disconnect between "the City" and the rest of the state. It seem politicians only want to look at science when it happens to suit their agenda. Manhattan is our Madison... I just scratch my head sometimes and wonder what they are thinking.
 
Every state faces this same nonsense from its high population centers. Sadly they may out number us all someday.

Seems they already do in NJ, NY and IL.

Yep, IL has billions in unpaid bills and something like a quarter trillion in pension liabilities. Yet they can afford to pay DNR snipers to poach deer with night vision weapons and silencers. They're poaching deer in the state's most visited park, Starved Rock state park, right now. At this point, they still allow public hunting there, but from what I hear it's pretty uncommon to see or get a deer. They just can't address problems in real-time. Everything lags by a few years and it makes for a crazy circus.
 
Another libtard from the State of Madison. No surprise there.

The "arm pit" of Wi....a.k.a. Madison/Milwaukee
