The Wisconsin Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy held its first meeting in taking up the possible confirmation of Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Secretary-Designee Adam Payne.

Lake Superior DNR Fisheries officials have used more than 15 years of management plans to bring steelhead back to fishable levels.
“We started with seven kids and one bow,” remembered Jim Moyer. “Our target was a cardboard box on a hillside behind the school.”
Moyer, the coach for the New Lexington Archery team in Ohio, smiled as he recalled the humble beginnings of the school’s archery program.
