DNR advises leaving wildlife in the wild
It happens every spring. Someone finds an “abandoned” fawn and takes it upon themselves to “rescue” it.
The Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Division staff has a word of advice: Don’t.

Gun Control Measures Defeated – for Now
On Wednesday, the Senate rejected a gun control agenda that President Obama has adopted as his own over the last few months, but to which other gun control supporters have bitterly clung for years: banning an ever-lengthening list of semi-automatic firearms, banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and expanding background check requirements to require government permission for many transfers of firearms among private citizens.
