Indiana Conservation Officers responded to a call for help on the White River on Saturday and rescued five hunters after their boat froze into the White River near Haysville.

The Indiana DNR takes a lot of heat about the weed treatments conducted by lake groups on northern waters.

Cale MyersCale Myers is the youngest hunter youll ever meet.
The Edwardsburg, Mich. tyke tips the bathroom scales at 48 pounds - on a good day - and is still too young to start the first grade.
Yet he killed two deer on back-to-back days.
With a muzzleloader.
I know what youre thinking. His dad probably held the gun for him and stood behind the young boy when he pulled the trigger, bracing him from the recoil, right?
Nope. Dad was running a video camera next to him. Pops handed him the gun, the boy placed the barrel between shooting sticks, put a bead on the deer and pulled the trigger.
By himself.
Both times.

There are many ways to recycle Christmas trees, but tossing them on a frozen lake to create fish habitat may not be the best idea and may require a permit from the DNR.
Fish attractors tend to bring fish and fishermen together, said Bill James, chief fisheries biologist for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. They provide cover but dont necessarily grow more fish.
Better options include taking the tree to a designated Christmas tree recycling site in your community, tossing it in the backyard to provide shelter for wintering birds, running it through a wood chipper to create your own mulch, chopping it up for firewood.
