Wisconsin’s Natural Resources Board gets first look at deer season harvest

“Keep your mind open because there are opportunities for change ahead,” said Natural Resources Board (NRB) Chairman Bill Smith to deer hunters who are frustrated over the 2023 deer season.
The board heard a preliminary report on the 2023 gun deer season from Jeff Pritzl, DNR deer program specialist, indicating the preliminary overall statewide deer harvest was down 17% from last season. Unhappiness from hunters, evident from several meetings in northern Wisconsin following the season, led Pritzl to encourage hunters to attend the County Deer Advisory Council (CDAC) meetings this spring in every county.

Second U.S. Circuit Court nicks New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act

Three provisions of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act were struck down earlier this month following a ruling by a three-judge panel of the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
On Dec. 8, the Second Circuit panel upheld a district court’s injunctions against the CCIA provision requiring private property owners that allow public access, including businesses, to post signage to allow firearms on their property. Unless successfully appealed, this means property owners will need to post signs if they do not want firearms on their property.
