You're really going to make me look at the plat?
DC makes it VERY easy though.

He is neither judge nor lawyer. Maybe there should be a poll.
Legislative intent is used by jurists when there is a question in the interpretation of the law in a case in question. It sounds a bit like he is getting credit for writing admittedly bad law, admitted by him. But thank you for allowing me to be "technically correct".While you are technically correct, he stated he was involved with changing the law so that the exception for sighting in a weapon at a gun range was allowed, so, he would at least know more about the intent than you and me.
In the wee morning hours before deer season I AM on public land sitting in my hunting area. I get there in the dark an hour or so before the season opens. Since I carry my rifle I am not without a weapon for defense. However, I usually go out the evening before to do last minute touch ups to my ground blind,
place my chair,
look for fresh sign and hang doe in heat scents around. This is when I am supposed to be unarmed. I'm not. Unless I want to sit on my couch and hunt out my patio door (BTDT), I need to get out into the woods where the animals are. Last year I hunted in a bears toilet. I'm not going to be out in the woods anywhere, anytime without a weapon for my protection.
CUT SOME GOOD STUFF HERE
• build or use a ground blind or any elevated device unless it does not damage the
tree, and it is completely removed from the property each day at the close of hunting
hours. Except: Ground blinds constructed entirely of dead vegetation found on the property do not need to be removed at the end of each day; and blinds used for waterfowl hunting are also exempt from daily removal requirements.
He said that according to the strict interpretation of the law, there can legally be no loaded weapons in the state of WI the day before. He agreed it was stupid.
This excludes most all urban areas, etc....wherein there is an open season for deer with guns specified in s. NR 10.01 (3) (e),
Why would a lawsuit be brought against the DNR for a State Statute? They only control their Administrative code such as the 24hr prohibition.I was contacted by Attorney Jim Manley with Mountain States Legal Foundation and they are interested in perusing the lawsuit against the DNR The law suit is about being able to carry in a state Park as I’ve stated here and perhaps they will also consider pursuing the prohibition against having a firearm in the woods 24 hours prior to the gun deer season. You can find a copy of the law suit on here on wisconsincarry.org blog. I’ll post the law suit once they have filed it.

29.312 Rules regulating the sighting of a firearm.
(1) In this section, “immediate family” means persons who are
related as spouses, as siblings, or as parent and child.
(2) The department may not promulgate or enforce a rule that
prohibits a person from sighting a firearm on land owned or leased
by that person or a member of that person’s immediate family during
the 24−hour period prior to the opening date for hunting deer
with firearms in any area where there is an open season for hunting
deer with firearms.
