Madison, Wis. – Wisconsin DNR announced last week that although the results of the Spring population research indicate a slight raise, the seasoning season on the black grouse remains closed to 2024. Permits and applications will not be available or not accepted this year.
Each year, the Cierterwood Advisory Committee, consisting of interested groups of protection and biologists of wild nature DNR, uses spring ground research to assess the size of the population and the recommendations of the hunting season.
Based on the review of the spring population data, the Distribution of the LEK and scientific research from all over the country, there are concerns about the long -term life of the population population.

The year 2024 is the sixth year in which the season was closed. Although this year’s fall permission will not be issued, the acute tail will retain its status of the game genre in accordance with the state law.
Thanks to the practices of restoring habitats in the basic areas of habitats in the northwestern Wisconsin, the populations of black grouse have grown in recent years, returning to the lowest level in 2021. Increase the level of population in their basic scope.
Wisconsin DNR employees and partners hope that the population will continue to respond positively to continuous, concentrated habitat management efforts. These efforts support to restore pine and youthful forest habitats, on which pointed tail treaches depend on survival.
