Bill limiting length of feeding and baiting ban signed into law
Ban still in place in Oneida, Vilas and Forest counties
Feeding and baiting of deer has been a hot topic in the Northwoods for some time. In 2015, a deer at a Three Lakes deer farm tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD) or Bovine Tuberculosis (BT) and, as per the state law at the time, a feeding and baiting ban was enacted in any county within a 10-mile radius of the CWD positive test. This put Oneida, Vilas and Forest counties under a feeding and baiting ban that would last indefinitely. (subscriber access)
