STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Stevens Point won’t allow bow hunting within city limits this fall.
Mayor Mike Wiza says the city’s municipal airport, where select people are allowed to hunt, will start a construction project soon.
The goal is to update fencing around the 800-acre perimeter of the airport to keep more animals off the runway.
Wiza told WAOW-TV that this improvement is all in the name of safety. “It’s going to be high enough to provide security for our municipal airport, providing security from people who may want to do harm, but more importantly it’s going to be keeping out the wildlife,” Wiza said.
The new fencing project has been in development for multiple years and will cost more than $2 million. Construction will start in early October.
