Fur prices are at or near record lows, there is little incentive to harvest raccoon, even though they are a significant nest predator. Coyote Hunting season is open year-round state wide. Making raccoon hunting season open year-round to match, and extending trapping of raccoon and coyote from Feb 15th till March 31 on all lands would help many Wisconsinites with management options. Consistent dates would provide tools to help maintain habitat, manage agricultural nuisance raccoons and coyote. Do you support extending the raccoon hunting season to year round to match coyote, and extend trapping of raccoon and coyote to March 31st of each year? America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
