1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE
March 31, 1999 - Introduced by Senators Baumgart and Schultz. Referred to
Committee on Agriculture, Environmental Resources and Campaign Finance
Reform.
SB104,1,2
1An Act to create 29.971 (3g) of the statutes;
relating to: the baiting of deer for
2hunting and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current rules promulgated by the department of natural resources (DNR)
restrict the types, amounts and locations of bait that may be used for the hunting of
deer. These restrictions include a limitation of ten gallons on the amount of bait to
be used and a prohibition against using bait within 50 yards of any trail, road or
campsite used by the public. Current law sets the maximum amount for a violation
of these rules at $1,000 but sets no minimum. This bill does not change the maximum
amount but sets a minimum of $160.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
