August 2011 August 18, 2011 MADISON – Wisconsin’s Hunters Rights Coalition strongly supports the new DNR initiative to bring more accountability and flexibility to the workings of the agency. "We look forward to working with Secretary Stepp and other department leaders to see that this initiative leads to better customer service, more responsiveness to the hunting community, and more efficient use of the DNR’s limited resources,” said Carl Schoettel, Vice President of the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association. The Enterprise Agency Status is predicted to increase customer service hours by 40%. The department will also implement a new organizational structure based more on line authority. "Our members want to see customer service hours increase,” said SCI Central President Joe Koback. “We are also looking forward to getting more accountability from DNR employees now that the lines of authority are being made more clear. " The Hunters Right Coalition is the only Wisconsin organization dedicated strictly to protecting Wisconsin’s hunting heritage. Some key members include the Wisconsin Chapters of Safari Club International, the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association, and Wisconsin Firearm Owners, Ranges, Clubs, and Educators Inc.
