Wisconsin residents have an opportunity to comment on proposed rules that regulate fishing, hunting, trapping and other outdoor recreation activities in Wisconsin by attending the 2008 Spring Fish and Wildlife Rules Hearings on April 14. Each of Wisconsin's 72 counties holds a hearing, all hearings start at 7 p.m.

The Spring Rules Hearing agenda, questionnaire, meeting locations, and more information can be found on the Spring Rules Hearings pages of the DNR Web site, http://dnr.wi.gov/org/nrboard/congress/spring%20hearings/index.html.

Results of the votes on proposed rule changes, along with written comments on proposed rules, are presented to the state Natural Resources Board for their consideration in acting on the proposed rules. Votes are non-binding and are presented to board members as advisory only.

A Pair of Vermont 8 Point Bucks
My father and I were both in our stands early in November. It was warm all season and when the cold snap hit the rut must have been hot. After a few hours I could not believe my eyes, a great 8 pointer buck, I was so excited. After harvesting the deer I could not wait to tell my dad.
