Famed Wisconsin professor Tom Heberlein hunted til the end at Old T
Prof. Tom Heberlein was forever vigilant about his deer camp’s buckpole, even though it hung empty more often than heavy each November.

Christine Thomas: Remembering Tom Heberlein, a giant in natural resources research
“He was the guy I was most afraid of, but he turned out to be my champion,” I said to Pat Durkin the night I called him to reminisce about Tom Heberlein.
I had just heard that he had passed away. I knew Tom and Pat were friends and hunting buddies. I needed to talk. I did not know who else to call. Pat quoted me in his recent tribute to Tom. I thought that quote could use a bit of explanation. It also gave me an opening to provide my own tribute.

BoatUS: Be vigilant when renewing your boat’s U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Documentation
Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is advising boaters with vessels that have a U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Documentation to be wary of any letter arriving by U.S. mail offering renewal.
BoatUS advises that while the Coast Guard does send official annual renewal notices by U.S. mail, other notices being received by BoatUS members are not from the Coast Guard but rather third-party companies whose name or return addresses may appear similar to that of the official U.S. Coast Guard National Vessel Documentation Center (NVDC).

Illinois bobcat harvest poised to change in 2024
Positive changes to the number of permits Illinois DNR allots to bobcat trappers and hunters are likely next season.
