Farm News: Dane County Allowing Archers On County LandscommentsPosted: 08.02.2010 Dane County Parks will again be providing the opportunity for Archers to receive a Limited Access Archery Permit for 24 park properties. The program provides opportunities to hunt deer and turkeys on specific county lands to those archers with the required State licenses. With the increasing popularity of the archery program, the Park Commission has established a lottery system to select Permit applicants rather than a first-come first-served process. Recent hunts have left some waiting in line for almost 20 hours in advance of the hunt - hoping to get a permit.
Since 2002, Dane County Parks has issued a limited number of Archery Access Permits to hunt deer within Dane County properties. The program now includes approximately 4,000 acres of county lands. This year, 186 Limited Access Archery Permits will also be available. Youths 15 years-of-age and younger may accompany and hunt under the direction of a valid permit holder. Participants 16 years-of-age and older are limited to one permit, non-transferable, for one property for the fall hunting season. Archers who would like to participate in the archery program can register starting August 2, 2010 until midnight, August 22, 2010, by applying online at <http://www.co.dane.wi.us/lwrd/parks/hunting.aspx>. Applicants can apply one time only for any sites they may be interested in. The fee for the online application is $3.00. On August 23, 2010, there will be a random computer drawing and successful applicants will be notified by email, and will then have until September 7, 2010, to pick up their Access Permits at the Dane County Parks Office, 1 Fen Oak Ct., Room 208, Madison WI 53718. The cost of the permit remains at $12 to cover the program administration costs. Dane County also offers hunting and trapping opportunities that require no access permit. Since 2007, the Park Commission has designated specific lands as County Wildlife Areas, similar to State Wildlife Areas. Dane County has approximately 600 acres designated as Wildlife Areas and is working on plans for additional properties. To find out more information on the County Wildlife Areas and all public lands open to hunting and trapping within Dane County, please check the Hunting Opportunities page of the Parks web site at <><http://www.countyofdane.com/lwrd/parks/> or contact Dane County Parks at (608) 224-3730. |
