Another big season expected for Wisconsin bear hunters in a state that keeps producing

If Wisconsin isn’t the top bear-hunting destination in the country, the state sits awfully close to the summit with roughly 4,100 bears registered each of the last 10 years (4,171 average).
According to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Wisconsin ranks consistently among the top bear-producing states. Not only do Wisconsin hunters harvest a good number of bears, but some of those bruins rank right at the top the Boone and Crockett (B&C) record books.

Meat allergy from tick bite cases increasing across the U.S.

That would make it the tenth most common food allergy in the U.S., said Dr. Scott Commins, a University of North Carolina researcher who co-authored both papers published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Illinois’ deer increased movement in study areas as more humans hunkered down during pandemic

Deer and other wildlife moved more freely during the COVID-19 lockdown, according to a new study that included whitetails in Illinois and a researcher at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
It is a not-surprising-yet-interesting point about the pandemic’s impact: wildlife basically had a green light to move more freely by “disentangling” humans’ impact on wildlife movement patterns.
