Wisconsin state campgrounds lacking ‘camper cabins’

While Wisconsin has 10 state-owned campground cabins that may be rented by people with disabilities, there are no “camper cabins” available for rent by the general public in state campgrounds.
Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan each have 100 or more rustic cabins available for rent to anyone on their state park campgrounds. Were Wisconsin to build similar rental cabins, it would take action by the state legislature to approve the spending for capital improvements.

New era begins for New York crossbow hunters

Upon Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signing crossbow expansion into law, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation wasted no time communicating new crossbow hunting regulations to the public.
Hochul signed off on the law on Aug. 26, and shortly thereafter the agency posted updated regulations to its website for crossbow hunters. Most notable is the fact that crossbows can now be used during all archery seasons, with limitations in some areas, and also the fact that all licensed crossbow hunters must also posses an archery hunting privilege/license. To do so, one must pass a NYS Bowhunter Education Course.
