The state D-N-R plans to tell us tomorrow (Tuesday) how many deer were shot during the opening weekend of the nine day gun season. Last year, more than 120-thousand bucks and does were taken in the first two days — and that was a five-percent drop from the previous year. Most hunting takes place during the season’s opening weekend, and about 60-percent of last year’s total harvest was taken on the first Saturday and Sunday. Sheriff’s officials say one unidentified hunter shot himself to death near Westfield in Marquette County on Saturday — the first shooting death in Wisconsin’s gun season since 2015 — and a second hunter died from natural causes just ten miles from there.
