“We’re able to get students outside learning about our natural resources from conservation professionals,” she said.

A Waupaca husband and wife have turned those passions into a line of clothing inspired by the outdoors.

Wisconsin’s gun-deer season is still more than two months down the road on Nov. 21, but the state’s bowhunting opener arrives Sept. 12.
That makes the middle of August the perfect time to run DeerFest, which returned Aug. 14-16 for the second straight year to Stevens Point. Valerie Morgan and her husband, Kasey, bought the rights to the event four years ago and moved it from its former location at the Sunnyview Expo Center in Oshkosh to its current location at Stevens Point’s Holiday Inn Convention Center.

Greg Seubert: The quiet magic of the Wisconsin lake I hate to tell you about

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, Nature Page & Night Sky, Wisconsin /

As far as Northwoods fishing destinations go, a small lake in Wisconsin’s Taylor County probably isn’t on anyone’s list.
Except mine, and that’s the way I want it to stay. On paper, the 23-acre lake in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Taylor County may not seem like a big deal. It’s a different story in person, however.

Imagine nearly 5,000 acres of undeveloped forest dotted with small lakes, plenty of hunting and trapping opportunities, remote camping sites, and miles of hiking trails.
Sound too good to be true? It might, but such a place does exist in rural Chippewa County. The Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area is part of the Wisconsin state park system and sits seven miles east of New Auburn on Hwy. M. Chippewa County Forest acreage is interspersed with the recreation area, adding to the hunting and trapping opportunities.
