Thanks to the effort of a local sportsman’s club, area hunters have a place to take their deer carcasses while also helping to keep chronic wasting disease in check.

Since 2019, the Oconto County Sportsman’s Alliance has provided Dumpsters for carcasses.

This year, seven of the Dumpsters are located throughout Oconto County, two are in Marinette County and one is in Shawano County.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that they play an important role in the continued efforts for chronic wasting disease surveillance and management in Wisconsin. One of the most effective tools for monitoring CWD is testing harvested deer, and testing is available statewide.

Menominee hunters are encouraged to bring in adult white-tailed deer heads for chronic wasting disease testing this hunting season. Participation not only helps protect families, but it also supports the ongoing monitoring of the health of the local deer herd.

Each submitted deer head will qualify hunters for one entry into an end-of-season raffle for prizes. There is a limit of one raffle entry per deer head.

The Brown County Rifle Range at the Reforestation Camp is open to the public for gun and bow sighting.

The rifle range is open from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. through Nov. 21.

A $7 charge per person or per gun or bow includes targets and assistance.

The range provides hearing protection and bore sighting. Lanes are available for archery and crossbow sighting.

With covered benches, the range is open rain or shine.

Green Bay travels east for a Sunday afternoon game at the New York Giants.

Packers’ offense vs. Giants’ defense

The Giants’ defense as a whole is not really good, but they seem to have a staple for every team they’ve ever built.

They can rush the passer.

The Giants strengthened perhaps their biggest strength in the offseason when they selected Abdul Carter with their first-round pick.

The Green Bay Packers will take their show on the road before four division games out of their next five.

That includes a showdown on Thanksgiving Day against the Detroit Lions.

Before that, they’ll have to conquer the New York Giants on the road, which is an area Green Bay has struggled this year.

The Green Bay Packers will go back on the road this week, heading to Metlife Stadium to take on the New York Giants.

The Giants’ season has one purpose at this point. They’re attempting to develop a young starting quarterback.

The Packers? They have bigger aspirations than that.

Their schedule down the stretch of the season is tough, so they’ll need to stack as many wins as they can.

The Green Bay Packers are at the halfway point of the season, and there are more questions than answers at this point.

They began the season with two huge wins over the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders at Lambeau Field, which felt like a message to the rest of the NFL.

Since that time, however, they’ve scuffled.

They lost games in Cleveland and at home against Carolina.

Colby Wooden was selected in the fourth round, 116th overall, by the Green Bay Packers in the 2023 NFL draft. A defensive tackle, he played college football for the Auburn Tigers.

Your nickname is the General?

Coach V.O. nicknamed me that. I don’t mind it. It’s cool. Guys be going with it. General started off, that kind of stuff. Nah, it’s good. I don’t mind it. It’s a cool little nickname.
