Wisconsin's Whitetail Deer Trustee

Working to keep up Wisconsin's great hunting tradition - article by  Robert Hornacek FOX 11 News

Deer hunting is a billion-dollar-a-year industry in Wisconsin, so there is a lot at stake.

Hunters have expressed a lot of frustration in the last few years about the management of the deer herd. Now, the state has brought in an outsider to review things.

James Kroll is the new deer czar. He's officially called the Whitetail Deer Trustee. He's not your typical wildlife biologist. While he does have an academic background Kroll has spent much of his career communicating directly to hunters. He has his own TV show and has written hundreds of magazine articles.

Myths and Facts about Deer Hunting

Looking forward to the Deer Gun Season? While you wait for November 19th, here are some facts and myths about deer hunting for you to ponder, in an article by Dennis Anderson bellinghamherald.com

Across the nation, fall brings deer seasons. Here's a look at some assumptions, and mis-assumptions, deer hunters will take with them to their stands.

Myth - A well-placed heart and/or lung shot will drop a deer in its tracks, or shortly thereafter.

Fact - Sometimes yes, oftentimes no. And in cases when a deer shot in the heart or lungs doesn't drop, it can travel much farther than many hunters believe. Moreover, even seriously wounded deer can appear to tracking hunters to bleed more profusely than they actually are.

In one study using beef blood to simulate a bleeding deer, a pool of blood 12 inches across required only 6 ounces of blood to create.

Yet a loss of about 42 ounces of blood is required for a deer to bleed to death, according to Leonard Lee Rue III, author of the encyclopedic "The Deer of North America."
