Location: Appleton,WI | Oh they do it that night.WOW..How does that all work as far as them setting up to do that?
Trying to learn more on a issue thats hurting our musky population.
I feel my generation has missed out on being educated on the whole late 80's spearing issues,Almost would be worth an artical in MH mag.It is history.

| There was an article in the early 90's (might have been the very late 80's) in Audubon magazine (it might have been Smithsonian, but I am pretty sure it was Audubon, which, at the time really surprised me.) where a writer was invited by the tribe to "ride along" in a spearing boat and write about the experience. He also included a history of the battle for treaty rights and the boat landing protests. It was a very well-done article. It was the kind of article that should have made the mainstream press, as it described some of the problems with spearing.
I read the article at work and wish I would have brought the magazine home and saved it, I have not met anyone else that has ever read that article. If anyone here read the article that I am referring too, please post...
