Grassroots conversations about sustainable, long-term Department of Natural Resources (DNR) program funding are continuing across Wisconsin even after DNR Secretary Dr. Karen Hyun addressed that topic with Conservation Congress delegates at their state convention in Green Bay.
“I continue to believe that we need to pursue long term sustainable solutions to adequately fund our fish and wildlife activities in Wisconsin,” she said.
Hyun also talked about the recent DNR audit.

Tyler Frantz: A beach dad trains for hunting season

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Pennsylvania /

While I’m generally more of a camping trip to the mountains kind-of-guy, we do enjoy our annual visit to the sandy beaches of the Atlantic shoreline for some fun in the sun as a summertime change of pace. During one of my many ocean-front forays, it dawned on me how going to the beach is kind of like the perfect training for hunting season.

Between swatting at deer flies and reapplying bug spray for the millionth time, my arms are getting a workout in recent weeks. But there’s one thing I like to do this time of year to begin setting the table for deer season. Though it might seem odd, I’m focused on establishing mock scrapes right now.
If you’ve never messed around with mock scrapes, I can give you a litany of reasons why you should.
