An all white doe with two white fawns have also been reported in the Johnson Creek area. Unfortunately a white spike buck was shot in Jefferson County during the deer season. The hunter showed a high degree of integrity and turned himself in. The area potholes have a thin sheet of ice on them so waterfowl hunters have switched to the open fields and rivers. With the migrating waterfowl passing through, a mature bald eagle was sighted east of Watertown.
Several area snowmobile safety classes are currently ongoing.
For class information contact a DNR Service Center or check the DNR website. The gun deer season continued to progress well in this area. Hunters are enjoyed the five days of snow cover, although some complained the weather was too cold. South facing slopes have lost much of their snow. Most hunters seemed to have a very enjoyable hunt.
