Fix That Leaky Blind Roof

There's nothing more annoying than hunting in a box blind with a leaky roof!

Last deer season on our property we had an issue with a roof that was leaking. 

Calling a roofing company near Portage Wisconsin would be overkill for fixing a small box deer hunting blind so we took the matter into our own hands.

You know that dude who cruises around in the glass bottom boat sealed with Flex-Seal and spouts about how awesome it is for sealing things like leaky roofs?

Well we decided to put it to the test!

We bought from Flex-Seal from the local Portage WI Walmart and sprayed it on the leaky area both inside and out.

A year later, the leaky roof is water-tight just like new! 

We were surprised that it worked so well. It's very thin though. If you ever make a similar repair it's probably best to buy the can of Flex-Seal that can be painted on with a brush.

This way the sealant can be applied thicker, and the bristles help to push it into the cracks of the roof and seal it better.

So there you have it. Fix that leaky blind roof without having to re-do it from scratch or call a local roofer!

Can The Wisconsin Deer Herd Survive CWD?

The Wisconsin DNR has released early findings regarding how CWD can influence overall deer populations and specific survival rates of infected deer compared to non-infected animals inhabiting the same regions.

In January 2017, the Office of Applied Science began a comprehensive study of deer mortality in southwestern Wisconsin as part of the Governor’s Initiative on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). In this article, we report the results of our first year of monitoring deer survival. Since these are early results, we’re going to focus on broad differences between CWD positive and negative deer. We’ll report the percentage of deer that survived over the course of the year and how that differed between CWD-infected deer and uninfected deer. We’ll also break down the causes of mortality. More focused analysis, including sex, age and geographic differences will become possible as we gather more data.

The study hopes to shed light on how CWD might affect deer mortality rates overall. Looking beyond the animals who perish from obvious CWD symptoms. Initial data is showing that CWD infected animals are statistically more apt to die from a variety of reasons when compared to the non-infected herd, but the data is still too new to draw any solid conclusions.

Despite this level of uncertainty, the estimated survival rates are already significantly different from each other by statistical standards. Therefore, we can now say with confidence that the survival rate of CWD positive deer is lower than for negative animals, which was expected.

West Nile Virus Killing Grouse

Up until now, West Nile Virus was thought to primarily effect crows, jays and other related bird species. Recent studies are indicating that the virus may be impacting grouse populations as well. Ruffed grouse in Wisconsin have traditionally followed a rather mysterious 7-year population swing. Recently, the upswings have not experienced the high grouse numbers …
