Canada Lynx ~ Status in Wisconsin: Protected

by | Oct 8, 2015 | FVWD News

Canada Lynx ~ The lynx.
Status in United States: threatened

Status in Wisconsin: Taken off the endangered and threatened species list in 1997. Protected Wild Animal.

Canada lynx are short-tailed, long-legged wildcats. Known by different names like “le chat,” (French Canadian) or pe-zu (Chippewa), these critters look a lot like bobcats. In fact, most people have trouble telling them apart, but there are differences. The lynx has longer ear tufts. (Check out the hair sticking up from the top of the ears in the photo.) Lynx ear tufts are usually longer than 1 inch. Their tails are also different. The lynx’s tail is gray with a black tip, and the bobcat’s tail has narrow black bands and a black tip. Both lynx and bobcats have back legs that are longer than their front legs. This helps them in springing to catch Snowshoe hares.

Wild Rivers Whitetails ~ Wisconsin Big Buck Hunting

The video above was shot at Wild Rivers Whitetails in Northeastern Wisconsin hunting ranch in the fall and provides an overview of the Wisconsin property, deer, stands and lodge. Check it out!

Wild Rivers Whitetails is located in northeastern Wisconsin, in a region known for its crystal clear wild rivers. It is a natural setting for whitetails with large tracts of upland forests. It was an easy choice to establish Wild Rivers here in this Northwoods area of Wisconsin.  Wild Rivers Whitetails was established in 1996 and isn’t just a business or a job, it is a lifestyle!

Owned & operated by Gary & Jane Nelson it is a family run operation with Gary and 3 of his brothers working full time on the farm, and guiding our hunts in the fall. They  appreciate the family groups that hunt with them since family is what makes them successful.  Everyone at WRW works hard to give their guests  the best possible hunt adventure.  In addition, we have all worked to support and enhance the deer and hunting industry both statewide and nationwide.  Each year we work with various organizations to provide hunts for handicapped and disabled children.

Gary Nelson is the past president of both Whitetails of Wisconsin and North American Deer Farmers Association, which are industry organizations that promote deer farming and hunting.

Leo Frigo Memorial (Tower Drive) Bridge – Green Bay, Wisconsin

by | Sep 30, 2015 | FVWD News

The Leo Frigo Memorial (Tower Drive) Bridge is a bridge on the north side of Green Bay, Wisconsin. It carries Interstate 43 over the Fox River just south of its mouth into Green Bay (Lake Michigan). Formerly known as the Tower Drive Bridge, it was renamed in 2002 “in recognition and appreciation of Leo Frigo, a civic and philanthropic leader in the Green Bay area. The bridge opened to traffic in 1981. Because of the bridge’s height and slope, it is prone to being shut down during inclement weather. The bridge carried roughly 40,000 vehicles per day as of 2015.
