I am writing in response to Mr. Ray Heidel’s Commentary regarding the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the agency’s decision to make a change to the Mississippi River Canada goose zone season dates.
Like Mr. Heidel I, too, have been actively part of waterfowl conservation and have sat on groups and committees for several decades where decisions like these are made. I, on the other hand, would like to commend the Wisconsin DNR for the decision to make an adjustment to regulations that provides more opportunity for Wisconsin hunters, as well as making our regulations simpler, which we can all agree should be a priority.
