Roger's Outdoor Notes



In Manitowoc County:  Antlered deer  772,    Antlerless Deer  981    for a total of 1,753 deer.   Thank you to all hunters for being so safe in the field so far this year. Please keep it up.


Manitowoc Unit of the Manitowoc County Fish & Game will be meeting on Thursday Dec. 1st at the Manitowoc Gun Club, near Clover, WI.  This meeting has been changed from the Lincoln Park Cabin #1.  The meeting will start at 7pm and there will be a short business meeting and a lunch and refreshments are available.  Remember to sign up for the 2017 membership at this meeting and remember this, where else can you paid $5.00 for a club membership in this world. Jr. Members are half price, so sign up your children and grandkids also. All us older members are looking for some younger people to help take over the club duties real soon please. Please be a part of a club that was founded in 1907 and is recognized as one of the oldest conservation organization in Wisconsin and the Mid-West. The organization works to protect the rights of sporting men and women and promote conservation and related education. Where else can you spend only $5.00 and be part of conservation history.  See you at the meeting.

I would like to say that during this week while driving around the central part of the state, I met and spoke with many hunters and we all agreed that there are deer out there to be killed, but no one today seems to know how to hunt for them like many of us were raised to hunt them in our youth years. Today to many kids think if the deer doesn’t jump out in front of them while they are playing on their phones or other items some of them take out in the field, there isn’t any deer to hunt. Children today need to know how to hunt, not watch all those TV shows where everyone kills a deer every time they walk out into the field. Kids need some parents who know how to hunt or else only grandparents should be allowed to take the kids out to hunt. Of course, these are my opinions, but it’s also the feelings of many others I have spoken with this week. Please be safe and enjoy the rest of this season.  In the Spirit of the Outdoors, Roger
