From the EAB FAQ document
http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/wildlife/hunt/deer/eabfaq.pdfU.S. armed forces members stationed outside Wisconsin and who are Wisconsin residents or were Wisconsin residents when they entered active service may use their one ?Gun Buck Deer Carcass Tag? to tag a buck during any gun deer season (including the October and December antlerless-only hunts) without being required to tag an antlerless deer first. This situation only applies if the armed forces member is officially on furlough or leave from duty while stationed outside of the state.
From Page 11 of the 2010 hunting regulations.
http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/wildlife/regs/Deer10regs4-16.pdfArmed Forces members are entitled to the following:
While on furlough or leave, may harvest one deer of either sex with a firearm from any Deer Management Unit (including CWD Earn-A-Buck Units) during any firearm season established by the department (including any antlerless only hunts) with use of his or her Gun Buck Deer Carcass Tag, and may purchase bonus antlerless deer carcass tags in units with a quota, even if the unit is sold out.
-------------------------
Currently these exemptions from EAB for active service persons on leave are allowed only for the firearms deer season. Because a soldier's leave "furlough" may not take place during the gun deer season but may take place during a portion of the archery deer season,
would you support a change to the law related to bowhunting that would extend this same EAB exemption to active military personnel on leave during the archery deer season?
