Wisconsin’s 2022 deer seasons had closed when Aaron Koshatka received a call that a deer had allegedly been shot with a rifle on the last day of the archery season, Jan. 9, 2023. At the time, Koshatka was a Sawyer County DNR game warden. He now works in Polk County.
“The party did a great job in providing information. Also, there was fresh snow, making tracks and blood clear. The temperatures were below freezing, helping to better pinpoint events, too,” Koshatka said.
