Wisconsin Conservation Congress Learn to Hunt Bear Tag Applications Due April 22
Prairie du Sac - Beginning in 2005, the Wisconsin DNR began offering Learn
to Hunt Bear opportunities. The Learn to Hunt Bear Program (LTHB) is an
opportunity to expose novice hunters to the hunting experience and recruit
new hunters into the sport. The Conservation Congress is one of the
statewide conservation organizations that are specifically issued a bear
harvest tag through the LTH Bear Program. Each year the Wisconsin
Conservation Congress is awarded a tag with the express intent of awarding
it to a deserving individual with the desire and interest in learning more
about hunting bear.
Each spring the Conservation Congress accepts applications from novice
hunters interested in participating in the LTH Bear Program. Applicants
must fill out and submit an application along with a brief essay describing
why they would like to be considered to receive the bear harvest tag and why
they would like the opportunity to hunt bear.
If you know a novice hunter that would be interested in receiving the WCC's
LTH Bear Harvest Permit, please direct them to the WCC webpage on the DNR
website (dnr.wi.gov). The link to the application can be found under the
"Community outreach" section. Applications must be postmarked by Wednesday,
April 22, 2015.
