Gun season for deer hunting in Wisconsin begins Saturday. Thousands of hunters wearing blaze orange will head into the woods seeking a prize buck or looking for a venison dinner.
Take a picture and share it with the rest of the community on Patch. You could have bragging rights for the best hunt.

Private Land Open for Public Hunting
This year, hunters have the opportunity to enjoy access to within close proximity of the state’s metropolitan areas.
A new Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources video captures the success of the Voluntary Public Access program in opening up large tracts of prime habitat land, often connected to public land, for multiple outdoor recreational activities.

********************* Okay, well I guess once one steps "outside the norm", everything still back in "the norm" looks weird. So I'm not sure what your point is, but - whatever. The human species has been eating meat and hunting and celebrating successful hunts pretty much forever. Most people eat meat. Most commercially available meat is harvested under more inhumane methods than those involved in hunting. There's nothing weird or out-of-the ordinary about hunting, whether you choose to participate, or not. I don't hunt, and yet I don't find anything about it weird. It's quite commonplace, actually. It's not something peculiar to this country, this point in time, Western Civilization, etc. Similarly, there's nothing weird at all about fast food. It's very commonplace as well. Believe it or not, you can actually get a salad at the drive thru. I know a few vegans. I don't find their choice of diet as weird as I do their insistence on making an issue of it.
However, here's my meager contribution to the blog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbSFxlfuf9s CF, RIP.
"Plants do not have complex feelings and emotions." Yeah, you better hope that you never find yourself in a situation like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIQ21m1Ks08

Why do nut job liberals always want the rest of us to share in their misery?
The dinner was held last month at the Lincoln Restaurant in the District, not far from the White House. Attendees/winners were: Janet Jones, retired grandmother/homemaker from Accokeek, Maryland Paula Matyas, a retired GM autoworker from Milford, Michigan Jim Heath, a firefighter from Aurora, Ohio Wyndi Austin, a realtor from Gilbert, Arizona (Anyone who contributed $3 or more was automatically entered in the contest.) The dinner lasted for just a little over an hour; President Obama lasts for over 4-more years… Once we repeal that silly XXII Amendment... who knows?
Yeah, that’s all you people in the TAP really care about or are interested in… everyone’s sex life!
Yes, and no. I've had to accept the fact that my cats will still catch and kill rodents even though I feed them well. It's a good skill for them to maintain in case they should ever find themselves on their own. I think it's the same for people. We should be able to feed ourselves without going to a market. That said, I don't hunt. I have a herd of deer in my back acreage, and I get more enjoyment from watching them go about their lives than I would from eating them. I had some venison for the first time at Thanksgiving -- it was like a cross between beef and lamb. Not bad, but not worth all the hoop-tee-doo.
It's a healthy choice as long as you carefully combine plant proteins and find a source of Vitamin B-12 to supplement. Most people haven't the knowledge to do it. You can't just live on rice and lettuce and stay healthy.
Going into a forest with only a 2” pocket knife to hunt a grizzly or black bear… that’s both HUNTING and SPORT. Although I would suspect the over-testosterone, driven people who HUNT for deer would probably not be up to that real SPORT… Just call it what it is; an indulgence of a primal urge to KILL SOMETHING, largely, because you CAN…
Thank you. I am aware of the phenomenon of “surplus killing” across the larger animal kingdom. All of the literatures pertaining to these acts delineate a CONTEXT where abnormal climatological circumstances, environmental factors are present. These are aberrations, not firmly enshrined behavioral patterns in groups of animals. You do not attempt to disprove/negate a thesis by citing anomalies… furthermore, in a vastly more meaningful sense, all of this behavior has a “survival of the species” component associated with it. [Rhesus monkeys included] Many, if not all, carnivores possess behavior patterns which allow utilization of a kill later, or allow other members of the same social unit or offspring to use the food.
Auto insurance rates would also increase due to the mismanaged herd.
Yes, now perhaps we should address the world population of 7 Billion and growing as of October 31, 2011. Perhaps we could start the factories... Soylent Green any one?
Wisconsin's deer herd is being managed very well, with the aid of sportsmen. Not only does it raise revenue, the culling of the herd is not costing you the taxpayer any money.
Wow - a whole four people. The Obama campaign certainly went all out, didn't they?
There were 6-different dinners "with" during the course of this great campaign that blew (Willard, Lyin’ Ryan and Thompson) back to their caves; these dinners were designed to be small and intimate opportunities for strong and faithful Obama supporters, not international Versailles type affairs. We leave those types of ostentatious and wasteful dinners to Willard and the TAP…
Sport + Food = Win Make is a great day
This dog breed is a lap dog, not a sport dog. Make it a great day
Contaminated meat is great for all conservatives, especially venison... Craig thinks humans are inoculated against that. Hang on to that feeling...
Your inflation hole is leaking again...

He should do his part to cull the herd, and harvest himself.
