"Wolf hounding is barbaric, in-humane and archaic and has no place in a civilized society" ---Rachel Tilseth.......................Rachel will be speaking on Earth Day, April 22 at the State Capital in Madison Wisconsin on this important Wolf Protection Measure .........She is also pushing the Wisconsin Legislature to vote down the proposed amendment that would allow hunters to walk onto private property to retrieve their Hounds during hunting season.................Rachel rightly sees this proposed law as allowing hunters to pursue Wolves with hounds without restrictions across all property, public or private

Rick

There's a battle looming here in Wisc between hounders and private property rights.  Please share. As always thank you Rachel



Wolves of Douglas County Wisconsin "Wisconsinites do you want your private property rights taken away by a small minority of hunting extremists?" That is what the hounders are asking in one of the questions:

No. 48 of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress agenda is: “Do you support legislation that would allow the owner of a hunting dog the ability to retrieve their hunting dog without landowner’s permission?”
http://dnr.wi.gov/about/wcc/

I've been hearing from property owners all across the Wisc north woods complaining about hounders violating property rights. I discussed this with the DNR's head wolf biologist who agrees hounders create many problems across the north woods. I think this must be addressed and stopped.

WODCW is a voice for these concerns and advises all north woods residents to attend the Wisconsin Conservation Congress in your county on April 14th. Do not let anyone take away your private property rights!
