Dean Bortz: A couple of black bear stories from Wisconsin

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Wisconsin /

Ashland County’s Jessica Ware, of Butternut, waited 11 years to draw a Zone A black bear harvest tag and shot a 300-pound (live weight – the bear was not weighed after field dressing) sow the first afternoon of sitting in her stand.
She knew the bear as soon as she saw it approach her bait site – this bear wore a GPS tracking collar around its neck and a red ear tag in each ear.
“I had seen it on the camera several times. She wasn’t the one I was looking for, but I didn’t want to waste an opportunity after waiting 11 years for a tag,” Ware said.

In New York, much is centered around NHFD, as it one of four free fishing events that take place during the year.

Will Illinois CWD meetings set tone for DNR’s report on disease?

Featured, Hunting, Illinois, News /

The invitation could be seen as cryptic. Or it could be considered proactive. One thing it isn’t is new.
Illinois DNR has, over the years, called a handful of public meetings to discuss CWD in the state’s deer herd. So the eight such meetings recently scheduled in northern Illinois counties between Sept. 23 and Oct. 9 are not unusual. The timing, however, is curious.
