Wisconsin DNR says recent wolf incidents involving encounters with people not part of a trend
Two separate incidents involving wolves and humans in Oneida County recently haven’t led to any increased warnings for hunters or citizens, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Randy Johnson, the DNR’s large carnivore specialist stationed in Rhinelander, said that although a significant part of the DNR’s wolf conflict program involves sharing information and locations of verified wolf conflicts, this information is shared primarily via the DNR’s Wolf Depredation Reports and Maps web page. That page includes an interactive map displaying locations of verified wolf conflicts, as well as reports of all wolf conflicts from the last several years.

It is no secret you get what you pay for when it comes to a rifle. The problem for some of the straight-walled cartridge rifles is that basic field models are the only options due to the nature of the cartridge. It is designed for short range. Being a relative newcomer to the market does not help.
A low-cost rifle can fall somewhere between poor fit and finish to a lower quality trigger and stock. Then there is the quality of the barrel and receiver, very important when it comes to accuracy.

2024 Illinois Firearms Deer Preview: Will rifle harvest climb this year?
Shotguns still dominate the two weekends of Illinois deer hunting that remain aptly labeled “gun season.”
But here’s something to shrug at as you sight-in your 12 gauge for the first weekend of the 2024 firearms effort: One out of five deer taken during last year’s gun hunts was taken with a single-shot, centerfire rifle. This figure is courtesy of DNR’s annual Deer Harvest Report, which for the first time included a nod to rifles.
