Re: 2019 Wisconsin Crossbow Use & Season report is out

Idk thunder. I have tree hugging friends who are hunters. Personally I prefer to have biologists/scientists making game management decisions vs politicians.

Re: Hey I'm back !!

While i am happy to learn of your remission, i'm saddened that your hunting days are numbered. i guess it will happen to all of us at some point but we all hope it is a long way off and try to ignore the inevitable. Good to see a post from you! Best wishes for good health!
