Wisconsin dairy farmer acquitted after deer hunter shooting case
Manitowoc County farmer Bruce Klemm was found not guilty on three counts of reckless use of weapons after a two day trial. He testified he fired into the air to deter trespassers who shot near his repair shop and home on his 75 acre farm. The case drew on self defense and trespass issues with two juveniles cited by prosecutors and one adult not charged.

Wisconsin Bans Lead Shot for Waterfowl Statewide This Year
Waterfowl hunters in Wisconsin must use steel shot only and cannot carry lead shells. The rule applies statewide to all waterfowl hunting. The change follows prior use in designated areas and aims to reduce lead poisoning in wildlife and the environment. An advanced hunter education course begins Aug 17 at District West Campus, limited to 25. registration via Candy Johnson or Larry Keith.

Falcons Begin Reintroduction in Milwaukee Skyscraper Nest
Five peregrine falcon chicks arrived in Milwaukee last Thursday marking the first step to restore the endangered species in Wisconsin by 2000. Placed in a nesting box on a 41st story ledge of the First Wisconsin Center, they will be released this week under the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources plan. A second group will follow later this summer, with three more groups to be released on land owned by Wisconsin Power & Light near Muscoda in southwestern Wisconsin. Charlene Gieck of the DNR said the effort progresses toward establishing productive populations.
