Fall Turkey Hunting Application Deadline Is Near

August 2nd is the deadline for Fall Turkey permits to be postmarked. If you’re planning on a turkey hunt this fall, you’d better get your application and send it in. It’s easy to miss these deadlines when they come up in the middle of the summer when fall hunting is the last thing on your mind.

You can buy the application form at any license outlet or you can get them online at http://www.dnr.wi.gov/. It’s easy to print the form out from your own computer and it saves driving to the license station and standing in line.

Both of our rivers are very high for this time of year. The Wisconsin River is at spring flood levels. There are not many sandbars showing but boating is great. On the Mississippi the water is muddy and full of debris. Fishing for catfish is most likely the best thing right now.

A new Wisconsin record Brown Trout was caught in Lake Michigan recently. It weighed 41 pounds 8 ounces……quite a fish!
