Enjoying the White Christmas

Musing about snow in December in Wisconsin:

Across the Fence: Nothing wrong with a little snow by Howard Sherpe - Jackson County Chronicle

“Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”

Lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne created that wonderful Christmas song in 1945, when I was 1 year old. I was singing along with it last week in the car, as winter finally arrived after staying away through November. We usually have several inches of the white stuff on the ground by the time December arrives. Full Story

We at BuyWisconsinLand.com want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous Holiday Season.

Bonus Antlerless Permits Limited

Weekly News Article by the Central Office Wisconsin DNR

“Hunters can expect a season similar to 2008,” says Warnke. “Preliminary indications are that fawn production is about the same as it was last year and remains below the long term average. Indices to fawn production were up in some areas and down in others, but on the whole very similar to last year. Winter severity was moderate and herd growth will vary with varying fawn production. Deer numbers will vary by region and even unit. Units in the far northeast are below population goals and DNR has taken steps to bring deer numbers up in those units. In others, populations remain above goal and herd control seasons are in place for 2009.”

Accordingly, one change hunters in the northern and central forests will notice is many deer management units will be “regular” units in 2009 after many successive seasons of herd control or earn-a-buck. Hunters in DMUs designated as regular units by deer managers, will find limits on the number of antlerless deer hunters will be able to harvest.

And, earn-a-buck, a population management tool that requires hunters to first shoot an antlerless deer before shooting a buck, has been suspended while effective alternatives are considered everywhere except in Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Management Zone.
