Hunting Season in Underway |
|
Now that another deer hunting season is underway, I hope that many Northwood's residents are enjoying time in the woods. Hunting season is an exciting time for all sportsmen, but especially for first time hunters. The Department of Natural Resources is providing "first-deer certificates" to hunters who harvest their first deer. To receive the certificate from the Department, please complete the form by clicking here. With the winter season approaching, extreme weather may cause the trail conditions to vary. The Trail Conditions tab on the DNR website serves as a great resource to keep Wisconsin residents informed. Be sure to check the trail conditions before exploring Wisconsin's beautiful State Park System! The Department of Natural Resources website is also a great resource for all hunters and fisherman. Please feel free to visit the department's website for hunting tips, season dates, license and permit sales, and other safety information before heading into the wilderness. |

Thank you Jack Sorensen for the invitation to speak to the local Rotary! |

Christmas Tree from Pelican Lake | |
The Christmas Tree for the state Capitol rotunda has finally arrived in Madison. For the last two years, the tree was harvested in the 12th Senate District. Last year a balsam fir was selected and harvested in the Antigo region; this year, another balsam fir was chosen but from the Schoeneck tree farm in Pelican Lake. I would like to thank Dennis and Kim Schoeneck for grooming the tree to preserve its shape as it grew over the years. The Schoeneck's also donated trees to decorate the Executive Residence and the Capitol square.
