The 2020 conservation ballot includes several questions which could affect deer-hunting season in Wisconsin. 

Hunters will be asked whether the nine-day gun-deer season should be made 10 days longer, with the extra days added after the traditional end of the season.

La Crosse County Congress organizer Marc Schultz says during a normal year, the meeting would attract about 60 to 80 people to Onalaska High School.
