Hunters step up for food pantries This just in from Lee Dudek, of Paul's Pantry in Green Bay.  Looks like the earn-a-buck hunters are doing their part for herd reduction and feeding the hungry.  If you haven't earned your buck yet, there is still time left in the early bow season to do it.  If you don't tag a doe before gun season and you hunt in an earn-a-buck zone, you may face the dilemma of sitting in your stand on opening morning HOPING you see a doe before the buck of your dreams walks by!  Odds are you'll see a doe first, but don't count on it!  Shoot one now and be ready! Later...
