Only two of Wisconsin’s nearly 19 boating-related deaths each year happen between October and December, but that doesn’t mean autumn is a safe time on the water for anglers and waterfowlers.
Water temperatures steadily decline after Labor Day, which means hypothermia can quickly kill those falling from a boat or filling their chest waders far from dry ground. Plus, waterfowlers often navigate boats in darkness, increasing their risks of striking unseen logs, stumps or exposed rocks.

Outdoor users in Minnesota may know Blane Klemek as the northwest region wildlife manager with the state’s Department of Natural Resources.
That job with an emphasis on wildlife and the outdoors certainly fits with how Klemek lives his life. He’s a passionate adventurer focused on fishing, hunting, and camping. For 25 years he has gone on winter camping trips, usually with about five other friends in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota.
“Sometimes it can be an absolute challenge with cold temperatures and snowfall,” Klemek said. “But with experienced people, many hands make light work.”

Last month, local news outlets reported on a Wyoming County man who pleaded guilty for numerous deer poaching incidents in Genesee and Wyoming counties, ending a nearly two-year investigation.
Tyler Jennings of Attica, N.Y., was required to pay $6,000 in fines and $750 in court surcharges. The state’s Department of Environmental Conservation also revoked Jennings’ hunting privileges for five years. The time spent and resources used to nail this game law violator were extensive.

A recent article and an editorial in the Sept. 19 New York Outdoor News edition regarding the new crossbow law pointed out the 500-foot setback for Suffolk and Westchester counties (the law also includes Nassau) reduces the possibility of crossbow hunting on private land compared to the prior crossbow rule of 250 feet.
It needs to be understood that the original version of the law, if passed, would have resulted in a 150-foot setback like the other bow categories. However, the 250-foot restriction remained in the filed bill.
