Decision on a possible sandhill crane hunting season in Wisconsin due Nov. 13

6 Comments / Discussions, Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Wisconsin /

While a Wisconsin sandhill crane hunting season would easily fit into the federal framework for managing cranes in the eastern population flyway, the decision to draft such legislation still remains with the Legislative Study Committee on Sandhill Cranes.
That committee met for the third time on Oct. 1, with a decision on a possible sandhill crane hunting season coming as soon as the committee’s next meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

The deer mating game and how to use it to your advantage as a hunter

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Ohio /

How many does will a buck breed? Bucks instinctively strive to breed as many receptive does as possible. If there are lots of does in an area, bucks will try to mate as many as possible. If does aren’t available, though, bucks will travel extensive distances to find does.
Although, white-tailed bucks don’t gather and guard large harems of does like a bull elk will with his cows, if a buck finds more than one doe ready to be bred, sexual greed takes over and they will breed any and all they can locate. Sometimes their activities create sheer pandemonium.
