Crazy Wisconsin hunting laws you should know...
Got this off the Wisc. DNR website, With all the velvet bucks being shot, I thought some people might not realize you have to get a special tag for them....
Note: Deer with antlers in velvet or in spotted coat may be harvested during the
open deer season, however, to keep the antlers or spotted hide the hunter must con-
tact a Warden within 7 days of tagging the deer and request written authorization.
The spotted hide and velvet antlers may not be sold or transferred to another per-
son. Albino and white deer may not be harvested without prior written authoriza-
tion from the DNR. Except albino and white deer may be harvested and possessed
in the CWD Management Zone. Upon harvest you must contact the DNR within
7 days of tagging the deer to obtain a Possession Authorization Receipt to retain
possession of the deer.

RE: Crazy Wisconsin hunting laws you should know...
Hmmm....never knew that. The only reason I can think of for having that exception would be to make sure the deer was not harvested prior to the open of the season.
Of course the real reason probably has more to do with the bloated DNR staff having too many people in air-conditioned offices with time on their hands.
