Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who is convicted of unlawfully hunting a moose is
subject to a forfeiture of not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000. In addition, the
person's hunting approvals are revoked, and he or she may not obtain hunting
approvals for a period 3 to 5 years. This bill applies the same forfeiture provisions
and the same restrictions regarding hunting approvals for the unlawful hunting of
elk.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
