Public Hearing On Permanent Rule (WM-34-19) To Revise Ch. NR 10, Relating To Elk Management

The Department of Natural Resources announces that it will hold a public hearing on a permanent rule, WM-34-19, to revise ch. NR 10, relating to elk management.
Join the Skype meeting online.
Call-in information: 1-866-715-6499 (passcode 570 072 5961#)
Rule Information:
The current rule establishes two elk ranges that serve a dual purpose as elk management zones. They include the Clam Lake zone and the Black River zone. Hunters were previously allowed to harvest elk in any part of the elk management zone. This rule changes the names and boundaries of these zones, and further divides them by creating elk hunting units within these zones. This will prevent the overharvest of elk in a single subzone by specifying that tags are valid in one or more subzone.
The elk season is statutorily required to begin on the Saturday nearest October 15th. It previously ran for 30 consecutive days and then reopened on the second Thursday in December and continued for nine consecutive days. This rule eliminates the current closed period between the seasons and instead offers a single consecutive ending on the Sunday nearest December 15.
This rule also updates the elk population goals for each management zone. The previous population goal was 1,400 elk for the northern zone. The new population goal for the northern zone will be 1,400 +/- 20%. The previous population goal for what is now the central elk heard was 390 elk. It will now be 300 +/- 20%.

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis: These rules are applicable to individual sportspersons and impose no compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses, and no design or operational standards are contained in the rule. Because this rule does not add any regulatory requirements for small businesses, the proposed rules will not have an economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses under s. 227.24(3m) Stats.
