Wisconsin sportsmen will miss one-of-a-kind advocate Corky Meyer

Corky Meyer, right, and then Wisconsin Conservation Congress Chair Larry Bonde at the December 2019 NRB meeting when the DNR presented to the NRB a rule change that allowed the night hunting of raccoons during the nine-day gun deer season. That rule change was something Meyer had worked on for many years to get changed. Bonde attended the meeting to offer congress support to Meyer’s efforts. (Photo by Scott Kare)

Anyone who has ever attended any public gathering on any topic related to conservation or public resource management in Wisconsin likely heard Corky Meyer speak.
Whether it was a gathering called by the Natural Resources Board, DNR, legislature, Conservation Congress or Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, or even a local coon hunting trial, Meyer was there advocating for not just common sense management and regulations, but also urging anyone who buys a hunting, trapping or fishing license to step into the ring and be heard.
