Sam Burgeson, president of Wildlife Research Center, explains how the use of urine-based deer scents can help hunters get better shots and avoid concentrating deer over bait, which can help spread disease. (www.wildlife.com)

Wisconsin DNR recreation safety warden Jon King urges hunters to practice the basic rules of firearm safety: Treat every gun as if it is loaded, Always point the muzzle in a safe direction, Be certain of your target and what’s beyond it and Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
