Last-minute roosters demand some creativity to kill a limit before season’s end

If you watch any random pheasant hunt on one of the hook-and-bullet channels, or maybe on YouTube, the odds are pretty good you’ll see people hunting planted/stocked birds.
Those pen-raised pheasants will hold super tight in knee-high cover that features mowed paths for easy walking. Not all pheasant-hunting content is filmed this way, of course, but a lot of it is, and it’s a far cry from the reality most hunters face.

Hunting runs deep at Marinette County deer camp in Wisconsin

When Kevin Hamann married his wife, Sheila, in 1988 he had no idea at the time what he was getting into.
The couple met as students at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the early 1980s. Sheila was one of Ron and Donna Wilson’s five daughters and the family lived near Middle Inlet, Wis., a few miles north of Crivitz, in Marinette County. Hamann grew up in Marshfield, earned degrees in public administration and eventually served as Oconto County’s administrator for nearly 25 years before retiring in early 2022.

Grounded migrating red-throated loons rescued in New York’s Adirondacks

Three red-throated loons were safely released on New York’s Lake Champlain after they were grounded in separate incidents in Clinton and Essex counties by an early-December snowstorm.
In the late afternoon of Sunday, Dec, 3, the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation received a report that a red-throated loon was found grounded near Exit 38 on Interstate 87. Reports followed, almost immediately, that a second red-throated loon had landed on a road in Ausable, and a third was found the next day on Spruce Hill, in nearby Keene.
