Wisconsin Wardens at Work: Zone 1 turkey hunter gets surprise call in Zone 3

A licensed hunter pursuing turkeys in the Black River State Forest in Jackson County, Wis., on opening day of the very first season, April 17, heard an unusual call. More accurately, the hunter received an unusual call. The subject answered – not with a diaphragm or slate call, but by using his voice while speaking into his own cell phone.
On the other end of the wireless line was a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) field warden, Theodore Doellman, who was just trying to get a fix on the hunter’s location, understanding the man would be decked out in camouflage.
