It has become extremely difficult to believe anything the Wisconsin DNR releases. They're out of touch with reality and do what ever necessary to keep their jobs. Our only hope is that the new WI DNR administration will get things straightened out. As an example, the Wolf situation is this state has been bad for some time and the DNR has completely ignored it. They now feel like they have to report something so they release this report because of all the heat that's been put on them.
Two years ago a friend had a field camera set up on a Wolf den and recorded 23 fawns being brought to the den by adult wolves in a 30 day period. The friend offered the tape to the DNR for review as proof that the wolf population is impacting the deer population. The DNR refused to even look at the film...that's right, they wouldn't even review it. It might suggest that the wolf population is indeed out of control. It might also suggest that's part of the reason the Wisconsin deer population is on the decline. They pay no attention to the truth.
Yes, the Wisconsin DNR needs a complete over haul. The WI deer season is a total mess, the WI Turkey season is a total mess, the Wisconsin DNR is a total mess.
Go ahead, have at it.....
