NR 1—
This emergency rule was approved by the governor on May 4, 2012. This emergency rule, modified to reflect the correct effective date, was approved by the governor on May 25, 2012.
The statement of scope for this rule, SS
009-12, was approved by the governor on February 15, 2012, published in
Register No. 674, on February 29, 2012, and approved by the Natural Resources Board on March 28, 2012.
This rule was approved and adopted by the State of Wisconsin Natural Resources Board on April 25, 2012.
Finding of Emergency
Pursuant to s.
227.24, Stats., the Department of Natural Resources finds that an emergency exists and that the attached rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare.
If emergency rules are not promulgated, the season automatically reverts back to a single permit period beginning on the Saturday nearest October 17 and continuing through December 31 in 2012. Frequent change of season dates and regulations for hunting and trapping can be confusing and disruptive to the public, can result in citations being issued, and is not necessary for protection of the bobcat population in this situation. Some people will view a reversion to the single season framework as a reduction of opportunity that is not socially acceptable. Therefore, this emergency rule is needed to preserve the public welfare.

The statement of scope for this rule, SS
011-12, was approved by the governor on February 15, 2012, published in

Finding of Emergency
The emergency rule procedure, pursuant to s.
227.24, Stats., is necessary and justified in establishing rules to protect the public welfare. The federal government and state legislature have delegated to the appropriate agencies rule-making authority to control the hunting of migratory birds. The State of Wisconsin must comply with federal regulations in the establishment of migratory bird hunting seasons and conditions. Federal regulations are not made available to this state until late July of each year. This order is designed to bring the state hunting regulations into conformity with the federal regulations. Normal rule-making procedures will not allow the establishment of these changes by September 1. Failure to modify our rules will result in the failure to provide hunting opportunity and continuation of rules which conflict with federal regulations.
