2013 Summer Waterfowl Meetings/Hearings and Public Input Opportunities In addition to annual decisions such as season dates and daily bag limits, we are proposing increases to the number of lakes available for open water duck hunting for the 2013 season and changes to the Horicon Canada goose zone for the 2014 season. These proposals will be presented and comments taken during these meetings. After the US Fish and Wildlife Service releases federal regulatory options, be sure to look for the DNR’s proposed waterfowl seasons online August 5th at: dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/waterfowl.html *These meetings are a great opportunity to learn more about waterfowl status and management.
