In the early 1960s the Game Management Division of the Department of Natural Resources, with permission from the State Legislature, initiated a program to manage the deer population in various areas of Wisconsin. As part of this program the DNR issued party permits that controlled the number of hunters in each individual region of the state. However, towards the early 1970s, bills appeared in the Legislature calling for a modification or elimination of the party permits. Above, are the undated notes of Assemblyperson John Alberts, who was in favor of retaining the current program.
