The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is accepting award nominations for the 2025 Wisconsin Ethical Hunter Award. Nominees are selected based on exceptional moral actions and character while out in the field.

Established in 1997, the award recognizes a hunter whose action is symbolic of Wisconsin’s hunting heritage. This honor represents an outdoor tradition enjoyed responsibly, respectfully and safely.

With one more full semester of high school in front of them, a pair of Bonduel High School athletes are looking ahead to fall 2026 when they will attend Division 1 colleges for their education and sports.

Mariah Wondra and Ryan Westrich signed their letters of intent Dec. 11 at the school. Wondra will attend the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Westrich will be at Western Michigan University.
