How All Electronics in Your Boat Can Work Together AND The Nebraska July Elk Hunt

We are so happy to have Greg Fitch back on the show.  Greg is with Technology Marine and he is the “Wizard of Technology” for your boat.  (I hope he doesn’t mind the new nickname I just assigned to him.  Waldog calls him a Magician).

AND……Make sure to attend Greg’s Seminar on boat electronics and technology at Wilderness Fish & Game in Sauk City, WI on September 22 at 6:00 PM.  I guarantee you will learn a lot from Greg.  To register for the event contact Wilderness Fish & Game.

Next we will chat with Hannah.  Hannah is a landowner in Nebraska and we are going to talk about the special elk depredation  season designated in  Southwest Nebraska this past July.  Many say that this hunt was a success after eight elk were killed.  However some will disagree with that.  Let’s hear one side of the story.

Here is a brief explanation from The NebraskaLand  news article written by Shawna Richter-Ryerson and published on June 22, 2022:  “A special elk depredation season has been ordered for July in a portion of southwest Nebraska because of excessive crop damage caused by elk.  Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Director Tim McCoy signed a Special Depredation Order for a season July 1-31 in specific parts of Lincoln, Perkins, Keith, Deuel and Garden counties.  The season will be valid on private land only.

Game and Parks staff have worked with landowners in this area for several years to lower elk herds to an acceptable level in cropland areas. Several small elk herds inhabit crop fields through harvest, then disperse randomly, making it difficult for hunters to take elk during the late general season.

The special season will allow hunters and landowners the opportunity to help reduce the population before the general elk season in this area. The objective is to alleviate damage to crops and property caused by consumption of crops, trampling and wallows.”
