Following an
extensive period of review and public input, Wisconsin now has two
identical fisher and river otter management zones. The new Northern
and Southern zones are divided by Highway 64, consistent with the
existing bobcat management zones. Moving to a two-zone framework
will help improve population models and allow trappers additional
flexibility when deciding where to trap.
As a reminder,
fisher and otter applications are due on Aug. 1 and can be submitted
online through gowild.wi.gov. Applicants will
select either the Northern Zone or Southern Zone when applying for a
permit or preference point.
For more
information on trapping, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword “trap.”
New
fisher and otter zones are in effect for 2018

the lookout for more helpful videos and podcasts to help you prepare
for the fall seasons.
