Wisconsin Conservation Congress Learn to Hunt Bear Tag Applications Due April 25
Prairie du Sac - The Wisconsin Conservation Congress will once again be
awarding a bear harvest tag to a novice hunter based on the applications and
essays which are due April 25. 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 granted a tag with the express intent of awarding
it to a deserving individual with the desire and interest in learning more
about hunting bear.
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.
Learn to Hunt Bear events are open to anyone who is 10 years old or older
who has not previously participated in a Learn to Hunt event for the species
being hunted and no hunter education certification is required.
If you are a novice hunter, or know someone that would be interested in
receiving the WCC's LTH Bear Harvest Permit, please direct them to the WCC
website<http://dnr.wi.gov/About/WCC/>. The link to the application can be
found under the "Community Outreach" section. Applications must be
postmarked by Wednesday, April 25, 2018. The successful applicant will be
notified by May 12, 2018.
