In many areas it has been agreed upon, that wolves should be saved from extinction. I also agree. It's nice to see them roaming about in the wild. However should that same rule apply to Wisconsin and Upper Michigan? 

  It doesn’t matter if you hunt public land or private land. By scouting for deer in the summer can increase your chance for a better hunt.  Even if you know the land your hunting. I for one was one of those guys that never did much planning ahead for the hunting season. But that all changed a few years ago after I went looking for deer sign in the summer of an area where I was interested in hunting.  A friend of mine talked me into it and that was it. I found by doing so it gave me strategy for planning my bow hunts and rifle hunt

MADISON – It’s official: the 41 pound, 8 ounce brown trout Roger Hellen of Franksville caught in Lake Michigan on July 16 is now a Wisconsin state record fish.

The Department of Natural Resources received Hellen’s application earlier this week and has confirmed the new state record, which smashes the old record by nearly 5 pounds. The previous record was 36 pounds 8.9 ounces and 40.5 inches for a fish caught August 23, 2004, in Lake Michigan in Kewaunee County.

Hellen’s is the ninth state record set this year, and the first for a fish caught by hook and line. The other records have been for fish taken using alternate methods, including a spearing record for lake sturgeon and six bowfishing records. One of those bowfishing records, for smallmouth buffalo, was established for the first time in March and has changed hands twice since, once in April and again on July 1.
