Discounts to First Time Hunters, Fishermen

Wisconsin is hoping to make fishing and hunting more attractive to young people - article from the Chicago Tribune

Wisconsin Republicans have introduced a sweeping bill to boost hunting and fishing in the state by offering steep discounts to first-time license applicants and making it more difficult to close off land.

States and outdoor groups have been stepping up efforts to retain and recruit hunters as suburbs gobble up land, the population ages and video games, social media and sports consume children's time.

Outdoor advocates fear the country's outdoor traditions — and the billions of dollars they pump into the economy through equipment and license sales, gas purchases, restaurant visits and hotel stays — are fading away.

Moose Spotted in Wisconsin

Story by Paul A. Smith of the Journal Sentinel

Gene and Sue Esker have grown accustomed to living among the wild ones at their Town of Minocqua home.

"Oh sure, bears and deer are coming through all the time," said Sue Esker. "We've seen wolves. And the other night we saw a gray fox." 

The Eskers appreciate the wildlife. It's one reason they retired on the shores of Shishebogama Lake. 

But after living there for 13 years, it takes an extraordinary critter sighting to stop the couple in their tracks.
