Wisconsin roadkill carcass permits

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A new call center operated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is making it easier for motorists who kill deer in auto accidents to get a permit to keep the game meat.

Motorists previously were required to contact local police and wait for an officer to arrive and issue a permit before they could take the animal.

Now Stevens Point Journal Media reports the call center is able to issue permits to motorists who want to keep a roadkill carcass any time of day or night.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs, including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self-explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
