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

A Richland County farmer who “made a game” of killing more than 150 deer from 2020 through 2021 has been fined $27,416.
He also has been sentenced to four months in jail, must serve three years worth of probation, and saw his hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges revoked for 42 years. Dominick R. Stanek, 61, of Viola, told investigators he shot the deer to prevent crop damage on his 207-acre farm near West Lima in southwestern Wisconsin.

Minnesota conservation officer, state trooper remove live deer from basement of Hibbing home

Featured, Home Page News, Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Anyone who reads the field reports from Minnesota DNR conservation officers each week knows that officers respond to a wide range of situations.
Reports run the gamut – from humorous at times to serious poaching incidents for those tasked with protecting the state’s fish and wildlife resources. There aren’t many calls that necessarily surprise a CO, but it’s safe to say that Derek Peterlin did not expect his day to end as it did Feb. 24, when he helped remove a live deer from the basement of a house in Hibbing after the deer had broken through a window.

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Ever since chronic wasting disease appeared in Pennsylvania in 2012, the state Game Commission has hammered home the importance of not spreading high-risk parts to other areas.
But it could be happening right now, and the agency isn’t doing anything to stop it. At least not yet. For the first time, the northeast region of the state now has confirmed cases of CWD  – two wild deer and one captive animal.
