NEWS FOR ALL OUTDOOR PEOPLE AND GUN OWNERS:  NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS VOL. 23, #36, Here is what is in the news and for all you non-believers, you better wake-up to what is happening around in this country, as almost every place where the Democrats feel they have a chance, they are pushing more and more anti-gun laws. Here are some of the items in the news:  Democratic VP Candidate Tim Kaine on Gun Control: “I can’t think of an issue I’d rather be aligned with than this.” In May of 2000, Tim Kaine then a mayor used more than $6,000 of public funds to charter 8 buses to transport city residents to the Anti-Gun and inaccurately named Million Mom March in Washington, D C . In other news, and I’ll just list all the stories I have, Chicago Officials (Finally) Recognize Criminals Cause Crime. After more than five years in office, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanual is finally looking beyond his city’s gun control laws to stop the out-of-control violence in the Windy City.

Special Note For Deer Hunting:  The DNR has a very nice tool on their website to look for what lands around the state are open for public hunting. You can access that information on the DNR GIS map  http://dnrmaps.wi.gov/opfl  .   This is a very useful information when you purchase or choose antlerless tags for deer hunting. All MFL and Forest Crop lands are considered public lands and you must use a public land tag if you wish to harvest antlerless on those lands. It is illegal to use a Private Land tag on these lands.
