Wisconsin deer hunters recently drew the attention of the National Deer Association (NDA) as that group tracks the annual deer harvest in each state and then compares antlerless deer kill to the buck kill as part of the group’s overall analysis of deer harvest.
I doubt NDA’s comment on Wisconsin’s pattern of deer kills is news to DNR deer program specialist Jeff Pritzl or any other DNR wildlife biologist. NDA maintains Wisconsin hunters aren’t shooting enough does when looking at the 2023 antlerless harvest.

Plenty of antlerless opportunities available for New York deer hunters as licenses go on sale

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, New York, News /

Sporting licenses go on sale Aug. 4, and hunters can apply for Deer Management Permits, used to take antlerless deer across much of New York.
And for the most part, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation white-tailed deer biologists are hoping hunters will rise to the occasion, not only in applying for antlerless deer permits in some parts of the state, but making efforts to fill them once the hunting seasons arrive.

Mike Schoonveld: Anglers go coast to coast in same day for great fishing on Michigan’s Great Lakes

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

I was intrigued when I saw a Facebook post highlighting an unplanned, coast to coast escapade made by three men from Hillsdale, Michigan.
Tim Parker, Mitch Lige, and Mark Sigler are all retired, all boat owners and they share a passion for fishing. Sure there are places to fish near Hillsdale, but they are especially passionate about fishing big water, specifically, in Lake Michigan on Michigan’s west coast and on Lake Erie on Michigan’s southeast coast.
