Instant Survey: Should Wisconsin hunters be limited to one buck per year regardless of what season they hunt (bow, gun,muzzleloader) to help rebuild deer numbers?

One Buck Limit… regardless?

Background: Wisconsin bowhunters registered more than 41,000 bucks last season. That’s the fourth highest total on record and just about half the total number of bucks taken by gun hunters last year. Bowhunters continue to score on bucks, even when gun hunters struggle. Read the complete story…

Instant Survey: Should the Youth Hunt, Learn to Hunt and Mentored Hunt be consolidated into one New Hunter Opportunity with one set of rules?

Consolidate Hunter Eduction …?

Background: Are youth hunting opportunities getting too complicated to keep track of? Currently, Wisconsin offers three special hunts for youth and novice hunters.

1. Youth Hunts for spring turkey, waterfowl and deer precede the regular open season and allow hunters ages 12-15 who are Hunter Education graduates to hunt with adult supervision and with no competition from older hunters.

2. Learn To Hunt (LTH) events for most game species may be scheduled at any time during the year. LTH events involve four hours of training, hands-on shooting, and a one- or two-day hunt that pairs a novice hunter of any age with a mentor who has at least five years experience hunting the species in question. Hunter education is not required prior to participating.

3. The Mentored Hunt program allows any novice hunter age 10 or older to hunt any species during the regular season for that species under the close supervision of a licensed adult hunter. Only one weapon is allowed, and the mentor must remain within arm’s reach or the hunter.

Dan Small recently showed off the attraction quality of his brother’s muskie flies at the Wisconsin Muskie Expo. Using the huge mega-gallon tank at the expo, Dan cast and retrieved one of his brother Mike’s new Muskie Fly patterns. The action was caught on video by Muskie Central senior editor, Steve Worrall

Watch the video and see this impressive fly pattern do its thing.

“That is one ’super fishy fly’. Just watching this short clip, I can’t image a muskie fly-fisherman wouldn’t be drooling for at least a dozen of them!” Les Booth, Ofieldstream Outdoor Journal
