There are proposals affecting trapping, sturgeon, nonlethal wildlife mitigation, and more. The Wisconsin Conservation Congress (WCC) needs to hear from all concerned citizens, not just those who seek to exploit it. There are also many citizen resolutions on wildlife as well, that YOU WROTE!

If you need help understanding anything, email us at msmith@wiwolvesandwildlife.org and we can give you our interpretation of the question. We cannot advise you how to vote, we can only provide you an explanation of the question posed. Thank you for being a voice for creatures unable to advocate for themselves.
