Hunting shed whitetail antlers is a fun and rewarding outdoor experience that one can share with friends and family. Some people even involve the family pet, while others go it alone and keep their shed-hunting spots a secret.

Gov. Tony Evers announced Tuesday, Jan. 30, that he secured federal money to complete the largest land conservation purchase in Wisconsin history, going around Republicans in the Legislature who had blocked the project.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) planned last year to spend about $4 million from the state’s Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program to help finance the purchase of a conservation easement on the nearly 70,000-acre property east of Rhinelander in northern Wisconsin’s Oneida County known as the Pelican River Forest.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently announced the appointments of four new members to the Conservation Fund Advisory Board (CFAB).
CFAB is a statutorily appointed board that makes recommendations to state agencies on plans, policies, and programs impacting fish and wildlife. Members are volunteers, appointed by the governor and NYS Legislature.

However, if a new bow is on your shopping list for 2024, now is the perfect time to pick your weapon of choice. All the new models for 2024 have been out for a couple of months, so most archery shops should be able to hook you up.
