What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to establish a schedule

for stocking pheasants to ensure adequate hunting opportunities through the end of

each pheasant hunting season. The bill also requires DNR to meet certain pheasant

production totals at the Poynette State Game Farm.

The bill also requires DNR, no later than January 31, 2022, to submit to the

legislature a report identifying properties where pheasants will be stocked and

detailing a plan for the stocking of those properties. Following approval of the plan

by the legislature, DNR must implement the plan for the next pheasant hunting

season.

Under current law, the hunting of pheasants is permitted only during open

seasons established by DNR and only by individuals possessing the necessary

approvals issued by DNR.
