Patrick Durkin: Bowhunters’ ‘tools of choice’ don’t matter to deer

3 Comments / Discussions, Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Opinion, Wisconsin /

Wisconsin’s bowhunters registered 103,904 deer during 2024’s four-month arrow-flinging season, the fourth highest archery kill in modern times and the fifth in which they’ve killed over 100,000 whitetails.
That success – driven mostly by folks shooting crossbows and compound bows, along with a smattering of “stick-bow” traditionalists toting recurves and longbows – ended a three-year slide in bow-kills from 2021 through 2023.

Wisconsin voter turnout, wolf delisting top Hunter Nation ‘wish list’

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

Hunter Nation leaders and U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisconsin) urged Wisconsin sportsmen and women to vote and to ramp up pressure on wolf management issues, saying strong voter turnout among hunters, anglers, and trappers could shift statewide policy debates.
During his turn at the podium, Tiffany also called for splitting the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) into two agencies: one focused on fish and wildlife, the other on environmental regulation, a move he said would better protect sportsmen’s license dollars.
