The DNR has reported two more illegal elk kills, here, after disclosing an earlier one in a rather chipper news release.
I wonder if three illegal kills in a first-eve Wisconsin season in which there only supposed to be five legal shootings not allotted to Ojibwe native tribes still holds up:

I wonder if three illegal kills in a first-eve Wisconsin season in which there only supposed to be five legal shootings not allotted to Ojibwe native tribes still holds up:
"As expected, hunter success has been high, and they are getting some big, mature bulls," said Kevin Wallenfang, deer and elk ecologist for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. "It was unfortunate that the hunt started off the way it did with an illegal harvest, but since then the other hunters have shared the story of some great hunts in a wilderness setting and the local hunters and others in the community have been overwhelmingly excited and helpful to them!"
