Walker's DNR turns Deer Hunting into regulatory nightmare of borders and tags. & K. Vinehout

I remember many a time being harassed by "Hunters for Walker" (they had nice printed signs--green and black as I remember but not sure of the slogan anymore--and We had our Blue fists) as I collected signatures for the Recall a few years ago. They were rude and there was no reasoning with them.


On the other hand, in another small town---a block from a processing store (the recall had taken place during deer hunting season)---we collected lots of sigs from hunters who wanted to conserve the land and environment and knew Walker was NOT the gov that would do that.

Walker's DNR turns Deer Hunting into regulatory nightmare of borders and tags.
Sorry to say, but my bleeding heart liberalism no longer extends to areas negatively affecting conservative strongholds and issues. It will be hard to sit on the sidelines watching rural schools die and hunters participate in destroying their own recreational sport, but it’s what conservative voters wanted and I we have to respect that.

And for a party that convulses at the thought of over-regulation, from assistance to recreational hunting, they’ve got no problem with the Rube Goldberg mishmash of hoops and rules to do the simplest things.

Case in point, the following editorial by State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout about the DNR’s new hunting guidelines:

Sen. K. Vinehout-Uppity Wisconsin: Deer hunters taking to the woods in Wisconsin are facing a slew of new hunting rules. Hunters will experience the long-talked-about rules of the Texan ‘Deer Czar’ James Kroll. In the DNR’s words, the new rules change the “season framework, management units and antlerless deer hunting permits.”.....

Sorry, I shouldn't rub it in. Just another example of Teapublican democracy.

Looks like the store owners are pissed because people won't be forced to go into their stores. Deer tags in my state cost much more. I don't see anything to be complaining about.
