Look Out for Deer on the Roads

Although you don’t think of car/deer accidents in June, you should. Next to November, June is the second highest month for deer vs. car collisions in Wisconsin. The reason is that does have just had their new fawns and when they do give birth, they chase away last year’s fawns. These yearlings have been with mom their whole lives and now are on their own. They are unsure of what they should be doing and not real savvy about cars and traffic.

The yearling deer aren’t real huge and when they are in the tall grass along the highway they are hard to see, especially at dusk when they move about a lot. So, watch for them and be ready to stop.

The fishing is great on the Wisconsin River. Catfish are biting very well. Successful anglers are using cheese baits and chicken liver. The river is low but with a little care you can get around. Look for a treetop in almost any depth of water and you’ll usually find a few hungry catfish.
