Assembly passes bill outlawing hunter harassment
By: Associated Press//February 11, 2016//
Listen to this articleMADISON, Wis. — The state Assembly has approved a bill that would prohibit people from bothering hunters in the woods.
The Assembly passed the bill on a voice vote Thursday with no debate. The measure now goes to Gov. Scott Walker. The Senate passed the bill on a voice vote last month.
The bill’s Republican authors say concerns about hunter harassment have grown since the Wolf Patrol, a group of animal rights activists, followed and filmed wolf hunters in Wisconsin and Montana in 2014.
The bill would expand the definition of interference with a hunter to include remaining in a hunter’s sight and photographing or confronting a hunter more than twice with the intention to interfere.
