Wisconsin hunter Dennis Nitz successfully harvested one of the first four gray wolves taken in the state’s historic season, which opened Monday. Within minutes after posting photos of himself with the 72-pound wolf on Facebook, he said he started to receive death threats. “It’s a pretty wild topic,” Nitz acknowledged. Paul Smith, outdoors editor with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, has the story.

A short video I put together with all of the footage I had from Alaska. I had a lot of footage, but used only some of it to keep it interesting and to not bore you with a long video of fighting fish – just straight to the good stuff.
There is a short bit in the video where we rode ATV’s up a mountain and camped out for a night to hunt moose. The reason it was only one night was due to high winds and horizontal rain. The wind literally ripped the tent to pieces. Of course we never saw a moose in that crazy weather, but we did find moose elsewhere later in the week.
