WHITEHALL, Wis. — A special prosecutor for the Trempealeau County district attorney, Brad Novreske, said the fines against Brush Ranch Outftters for illegal game practices were critically important to protect legitimate hunting, “Hunting is an important family tradition and part of the state’s heritage,” Novreske said. “And it also is a major economic driver as many smaller businesses rely upon the safe, legal, ethical and quality hunting opportunities in Wisconsin.”
