Wisconsin Retrieval of Hunting Dogs

The Wisconsin Conservation Congress will be voting on the following question on April 14 at 7:00 P.M. in all 72 counties.
Question # 48 reads;
Hunting dogs can stray onto property wher their owners do not have permission to be. Currently the animal cannot be legally retrieved without the property owner's permission. Property owners cannot always be located to obtain the necessary permission to retrieve a hunting dog. A quick retrieval is always in the best interest of the dog, dog owner, and property owner. In the States of Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa a person on foot may, without permission, enter private land without a firearm, to retrieve a hunting dog. After retrieving the dog, the person must immediately leave the premises. This exception does not authorize the taking of wild game.
Do you support legislation that would allow the owner of a hunting dog the ability to retrieve their hunting dog without landowner's permission?
Please attend this important meeting next Monday and vote yes on this question. Meeting location are posted on; dnr.wi.gov, Conservation Congress, Meeting Schedule
Your strong support is needed to take this issue to the legislature.

berger, did you mean hunters? or deer killers?!

I think maybe its best it didn't pass this time. now it can get reworded and hopefully the houndsmen can get more organized for the next try!

We were told our biggest obstacle would be the bow hunters. This vote was an acid test and if it passed handily we would have gotten a legislator to sponsor a law change. Its hard to believe hunters voting against hunters.

i was surprised actually with the vote here(sheboygan county)

I believe it was 69-73,

I think it should be worded that if a hunter tries to gain permission and cant successfully then they may retrive the dog or dogs maybe that would make it easier.

funny this came up. im from virginia and we have what we call a "right to retrieve" law. at one time us and minnesota were the only states to have such a law. we are expecting in the next few years legislation here in va to attack this law and try to take it away while i know aother states are trying to gain such a law, sadly, like some have posted here its other hunters doing the attacking. can anyone tell me or know where i may find out what states have a similar law in place or are trying to get such a law? i too am trying to gather information for up coming legislation in va and i wish all you guys good luck in getting a law of your own to retrieve your hounds

Never ask a man what kind of dog he has. If he has a hound he'll tell you, if he does not, you don't want to shame him by asking.

HERE IN WV YOU HAVE TO CONTACT THE LAND OWNER IF THEY REFUSE TO LET YOU GET YOUR DOG YOU HAVE TO CONTACT A DNR OFFICER OR A POLICE OFFICER TO ASSIT YOU IN GETTING YOUR DOG AND YOU CAN'T TAKE A GUN WITH YOU BUT THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE OTHER STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR DOG IF YOU RUN INTO A LAND OWNER THATS GOING TO HARM YOUR DOG

It got shot down by 3 votes here in Barron county. Unfortunately with all of the "trophy" deer hunters we will never get it either. We had a county resolution (2nd year in a row) for antler point restrictions and it passed by a huge margin. I understand that people want to shoot a huge buck but where do they get off telling me how big a buck has to be for me to shoot on our family farm? Deer hunting as is has become and where it is headed is going to be the end of all hunting by division. Instead of the hunters vs the anti's it's the "deer hunters" vs the "anything except deer hunters." It's truly sad what it's become.

What I can't believe is how all the deer hunters want more predator control to protect their deer numbers. They want more Bear tags, Wolf tags and coyotes shot. BUT they don't want anyone running a hound near their land.

Some of the comments made about this proposal from others came from lack of clarification. I know the proposal referenced other states with similar laws but lacked definition. Some where concerned that allowing this to pass would constitute people driving across fields and so forth. I believe this proposal would have the merit to pass if it was presented as a law with clear definitions on "what is" and "what isn't" allowed to clarify the gray areas as to how it was presented at the hearing.

Jefferson co. Their were only a few dog people at are meeting,I guess they had better things to do. I thank the trappers for helping by speaking up and voting for us.

passed in Washington co.

we need this reworded, to include retrieval of anything that belongs to you, not just dogs.

worse news is with the new deer seasons, we'll be shut out of the woods for 33 days in the southern farm deer zone, unless something changes in the DNR rules. i've been saying it would happen for years, now it has
