Wisconsin DNR budget has hunting, trapping, and fishing fee hikes
Published: , in Outdoor News
Gov. Tony Evers released his 2025-27 biennial budget Feb. 18 that would renew the Knowles/Nelson Stewardship Program and encourage hunting, trapping, and fishing license fee increases to help cover deficits in the Wisconsin DNR’s Fish and Wildlife Account.
The proposed 762-page budget now goes to the legislature where Republican leaders have said Evers included too much spending and they will come up with their own budget. Eventually a new state budget will be put together by the legislature’s Joint Finance Committee. Evers will be able to veto some portions, but have to sign a final budget for it to go into effect on July 1 or after.
