    Wolves in Wisconsin 2016

    The Yellowstone park website says that wolves kill 22 ungulates a year (mainly elk since the page is talking about elk?) How much meat would an elk have including organs? 4-5 times as much as a deer? http://www.yellowstonepark.com/gray-wolves-impact-elk/...

    WI gun opener coming up

    There was a moose shot about 7 miles west of our place around 15 years ago. The guy called the DNR and turned himself in and paid a fine, not sure if they let him keep it.

    cop in south carolina

    My dad has quite the stories from high school and he graduated in 1961, a lot of kids fighting with teachers. His oldest brother graduated in 1940 and had regularly got in fist fights with teachers. Things were not that rosy back in the day. My dad also said there were about 20 girls in his...
