Mishaps Misattributed to Hunting Says Wisconsin Department
The Wisconsin conservation department states many accidents are labeled hunting related when not occurring during a hunt. They note hunting injury only counts if the victim was hunting, not en route from a trip. Open season begins November 20 and pheasant hunters can aid stocking by sending back bands. The agency cites lower bounties this year and mentions a 1500 acre goose wintering site near Hancock. A resort tip suggests daily boat or fish catch records for promotion.
