The Wisconsin DNR’s Randy Johnson will ask Natural Resources Board (NRB) members to approve an increase in the black bear harvest quota and kill tag levels for the 2025 season when the board meets Wednesday, Jan. 22, in Madison.
Johnson will ask – with support from the Conservation Congress and the DNR bear committee – for a 2025 bear harvest quota of 4,075 animals. That’s up from the 2024 quota of 3,850.
