Dean Bortz: Human/wolf safety resolution needs a push in Wisconsin

We have had just a ton of people working on wolf management in Wisconsin since 1986 or 1987, to be sure, but if we ever achieve some kind of common sense management in place – and that DOES NOT include the newest wolf management plan approved by the Natural Resources Board last October – we can thank Laurie Groskopf, of Oneida County.
Groskopf has worked tirelessly on the wolf issue from numerous angles and levels over these ensuing years.

Illinois DNR’s decision to double the number of bobcat permits it distributes appears to have piqued interest among Illinois trappers and hunters.

Peck’s Lake, Fulton County, N.Y., welcome outdoor scribes

The New York State Outdoor Writer’s Association recently held its annual Fall Safari, once again in Fulton County. More than a dozen scribes from across the state attended all or part of the event held Sept. 12-15 at Peck’s Lake Resort, near Caroga Lake in the southern Adirondacks.
Unlike the group’s annual conferences, held in recent years in the spring – and with larger attendance and venues – NYSOWA’s safaris are meant to be more casual meetings allowing members to sample the outdoor offerings of a particular region.
