What's CWD Anyway?
CWD is mentioned about as often as DNR and IRS. What is this thing hunters, politicians and wildlife biologists argue about and call chronic wasting disease?
Church Attendance
Pastor Randy Larson knows why some pews are empty during gun-deer season. As Pastor of the Faith Evangelical Free Church in Sparta, he isn't bothered by these absences and he doesn't confront these parishioners the next Sunday, either.
Norther Wisconsin Accommodations
Season tickets to some Wisconsin sporting events are held forever just by passing them on to surviving relatives when present holders get too old. The same thing occurs in some deer camps in northern Wisconsin.
Venison Precautions
Peculiar events are reported every year when 640,000 gun-deer hunters spend some or all of the nine-day season in forests waiting for deer to walk past.
Wild Hogs
Wisconsin may never be known as a great state in which to hunt wild pigs. That's good news to anyone who has seen signs of these rooters.
North Vs. South Hunting
Years ago, when there were few white-tailed deer in southern Wisconsin, northern Wisconsin was known as the place where deer hunting occurred.
School Absences
Sauk Prairie High School solved the problem of students being absent from school during deer season, even though the solution didn't begin as a way to give students more days in the woods.
Football Break
Wow, a weekend with no Badgers or Packers football games. It must be gun-deer season in Wisconsin.
Warden's Spouse
What's it like being a Department of Natural Resources conservation warden's spouse? Which takes priority, a birthday dinner or a citizen complaint that someone has shot a deer from a road?
Hunting Terms
Regardless of who you are, whether you hunt or not, you're going to hear a lot of talk about deer, deer hunting and deer hunters during the next 10 days.
License Sales
Picture this a day or two before the gun-deer season opens. Dozens of happy, anxious hunters crowd against counters in sports shops and Department of Natural Resources Service Centers across Wisconsin, to plop down money for their deer licenses.
