NR 10.111(3)(b)
(b) The department shall manage the elk population in Zone X, as described in s.
NR 10.37, at a population level of zero elk. If the department determines that elk are causing agricultural damage, are a nuisance or are frequenting an area in Zone X, the department shall remove the elk in a manner determined by the department, in accordance with the procedures outlined ss.
NR 12.10 and
12.15 and may include trapping and relocating, hazing, hunting or shooting.
NR 10.111(3)(c)

NR 10.111(4)(a)
(a)
Annual population estimate. The overwinter elk population goal shall be determined based on biological, ecological and sociological factors, including: reproductive success, winter severity, herd age and sex structure, non-hunting mortality, and agricultural damage.
NR 10.111(4)(b)
(b)
Quota objectives. Using the overwinter elk population estimate established under par. (a), the department shall annually calculate an antlerless elk kill quota for each zone with the objective of maintaining the elk herd at the established elk population goal.
NR 10.111(4)(c)
