How Many Beards on Your Turkey?

A man from Sparta bagged a 5 bearded turkey on April 23rd - total length was 31 1/8 inches. But it's not a record. See this article from Wisconsin Outdoor News.

Sparta, Wis. — Ever shoot a gobbler with a beard measuring 311⁄8 inches?

Odds are way better than even that no Wisconsin turkey hunter has ever done that.

However, Ryan Tichenor, of Sparta, did shoot a gobbler with five beards that totaled 311⁄8 inches.

That happened April 23 during Wisconsin’s second turkey season in Monroe County and Zone 1. Tichenor was hunting alone that day when he shot the five-bearded bird at 2:30 p.m., but he had been in contact with that gobbler and three others all day long.

Night Deer Hunt Ban Remains

The Chippewa Tribes are seeking to establish Night Deer Hunting on tribal lands, but the State is fighting this, citing safety concerns. See this article from the Pioneer Press

MADISON, Wis. -- State attorneys tried to persuade a federal appellate court Wednesday to reject a request from Wisconsin's Chippewa bands to reopen a long-settled case barring tribal hunters from hunting deer at night.

The state Department of Natural Resources has long banned night deer hunts out of safety concerns. The Chippewa, though, have pushed for years for a tribal night deer hunt in the ceded territory, a gigantic swath of northern Wisconsin the bands handed over to the federal government in the 19th century.
