Preview of gun deer hunt to air this week on ‘Route 51’

WAUSAU — Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Route 51” features a preview of the nine-day gun deer hunting season at 10 a.m. Nov. 15.

Host Rich Kremer welcomes ‘Outdoor Guys’ Dave Carlson and Joe Knight to the show. The guests will discuss the new rules coming into effect for this year’s gun deer hunting season beginning Nov. 17.

Many of these restrictions were voted on just weeks before the gun deer season begins. Carlson and Knight will also talk about the Legislature’s rules committee vote to suspend what would have created a new restriction to prevent the movement of deer out of CWD-affected areas. Dr. Deer, James Kroll, joins the program as well.

“Route 51” is broadcast at 10 a.m. Thursdays on The Ideas Network stations 101.3 & 91.9/Wausau, AM 930/Auburndale-Stevens Point, 99.1/Stevens Point, 100.9/Marshfield, 90.3/Park Falls, 89.1/Adams-Wisconsin Rapids, and 89.9/Rhinelander-Eagle River. It is re-broadcast Fridays at 7 p.m. on 90.9/Wausau.
