MOUNT HOREB â?? Wind, rain and sleet greeted 14 University of Wisconsin students as they trudged through briars, mud and hilly terrain, driving whitetail deer from the woods.
About a dozen other students â?? members of the Badger Hunting Club â?? waited in anticipation, rifles ready to shoot as deer bolted into a clearing.
The hunt Nov. 8 was a field trip as part of the Madison’s school’s Geography 343 class â?? People, Wildlife, and Landscape â?? in which Professor Lisa Naughton teaches the dynamics of human/wildlife interactions using deer hunting as a case study.
