...The district has 30 days to appeal, but its attorney, William O'Connor, said he does not know if his client will take the case to circuit court.

...The battle has become an emotional one for environmental advocates, shooting clubs and local property owners. In July, lake district members voted to double their special assessment to $100 to help cover legal costs in the push to raise lake levels.

...O'Connor said the hearing examiner ignored residents' interests, favoring hunting advocates instead.

"The hearing examiner … and the DNR just put an overwhelming emphasis in this case to those wetland hunting clubs and just gave such short shrift, such low weight, to the interest of the property owners," O'Connor said.
