Commission Order No. 225-04 Wisconsin Ceded Territory Opening of Tribal Crex Meadows Sharp-Tailed Grouse Closed Area for Harvest from October 18 to November 9, 2025, and Establishment of a Tribal Sharp-tailed Grouse Quota within Tribal Management Unit 10
The state of Wisconsin has established a sharp-tailed grouse harvest unit in the northwestern part
of the state and has established a limited quota for this unit during the 2025 sharp-tailed grouse
harvest season. To provide a similar opportunity for Tribal harvest of sharp-tailed grouse within
the Ceded Territory, this Commission Order establishes amendments to the Tribes’ general
restrictions on hunting in certain areas for the Wisconsin portion of the 1837 and 1842 ceded
territory and establishes permit and registration requirements for harvest of sharp-tailed grouse
