When Wisconsin Natural Resources Board members meet Wednesday, Feb. 25, in Madison they will receive updates on proposed fish and game advisory questions from the DNR and Conservation Congress that will appear on the annual spring fish and game hearing questionnaire (no proposed rule changes this year).

Do you think the Hine’s emerald dragonfly should be the Wisconsin state insect? But that would mean switching the honeybee to the state agricultural insect.
Should we remove the once-in-a-lifetime restriction on cow elk tags so the recipients could still apply for a bull tag? Do we need a uniform rabbit season?

The original epistle for this week’s space was headed in a whole different direction when I discovered the material you’ll see below. We do 26 issues a year at Wisconsin Outdoor News, so I have “folders” numbered one through 26 to correspond with each issue.

Just a reminder that Wisconsin sportsmen may participate in the annual spring fish and wildlife hearing process prior to the April vote – in-person hearings are always the second Monday in April, which is April 13 this year – by submitting a citizen resolution for a proposed rule change to the Conservation Congress.

Little Green Lake in Green Lake County was featured on the back page of the latest print issue of Wisconsin Outdoor News.
As is the case with every back-page lake feature, the local DNR fisheries team had more information available for the lake than we had room to squeeze into that article. So here are a few more details from Little Green Lake that I found of interest.

The fall of 2025 afforded me an extended visit to the state of Montana in October and early November for some archery elk hunting in the central part of the state and archery and rifle deer hunting in eastern Montana.

Now that a federal wold delisting bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Dec. 18 the next big question just might be that of when will Wisconsin see its next wolf hunting and trapping season.
The short answer? That depends. Mostly on action from the U.S. Senate and President Donald Trump, but it would also depend on the federal wolf delisting date.
Wisconsin’s bear-hunting women had great success during the September/October bear season. Those ladies killed some big bears, including a couple of bruins that topped 500 pounds.
Add Kyler Rundquist, age 21, of Clayton, to that list. The young accountant received some help from her hunting crew and their trailing hounds to bag a Polk County brute with a live weight of 637 pounds and a dressed weight of 569 pounds.

George Meyer is going to be sorely missed by all of us who enjoy and appreciate Wisconsin’s natural resources. His list of accomplishments and contributions is long and distinguished and most of us are well aware of George’s work, so I’m not going to review that list here.
