With tell-tale spots still visible, a group of young deer took to a farm field near Shiocton just one month ago.

“They tend to be out a little bit more often. A little bit later in the summer, eating with mom,” said Bryan Woodbury, DNR Wildlife Biologist.

Woodbury says Operation Deer Watch begins Aug. 1 when deer families are relatively young…

A 58-year-old Aurora man was hurt in a hunting accident Monday at Silver Springs State Park, according to Illinois Conservation Police. It happened at around 2:20 Monday afternoon.

Conservation police say a 37-year-old hunter, also from Aurora, accidentally shot the 58-year-old who suffered minor injuries from pellets. The 58-year-old was taken to an area hospital for evaluation and was released. The two men were dove hunting.

Conservation Police Sgt. Dave Wollgast says so far no tickets have been written by the investigating officer.

Antarctica’sThwaites Glacier, nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” due to its potentially catastrophic impact on sea levels, may dissolve faster than previously expected, according to a recent study.

New data and sea floor images published Monday inNature Geosciencefound the Florida-sized ice behemoth experienced a “rapid retreat” in the previous two centuries — and predicted that history may repeat itself in the near future.

A total loss of the glacier and its surrounding icy basins could raise sea levels from three to 10 feet, the researchers said.

Thwaites is already in a phase of “collapse” when viewed on geological time scales…

Brutal temperatures continue to bear down on the West Coast on Tuesday as forecasters warn that excessive heat will continue through the coming days. The heat wave, which started just before Labor Day weekend, has already broken at least a dozen temperature records in California as the state battles drought, fire and water shortages.

“Extreme, dangerous heat gripped much of the region on Monday and numerous official maximum record temperature records were tied or broken,” the National Weather Service said of the San Francisco Bay area, including a preliminary 11 daily records and two monthly records.

In Livermore, temperatures on Monday hit116 degrees Fahrenheit– the hottest day of all time, the service said. The previous record for Livermore was 108 degrees Fahrenheit in 1950. Kentfield also hit its highest temperature since 1950 at 107…

For decades, the southernCaliforniawriter Mike Davis has obsessively documented the dark side of the Golden state – its wildfires, earthquakes, megalomaniac real estate developers and violent police departments.

In essays like The Case for Letting Malibu Burn, Davis has argued that California’s natural disasters are not really natural at all, but the result of greed, racism and lack of foresight from the region’s power brokers. In City of Quartz – published in 1990, two years before the Rodney King uprising – he depicted Los Angeles as a white supremacist police state that had successfully marketed itself as paradise.

Vettel – whoannounced he will retirefromFormula Oneat the end of the season following a stellar career – spoke to CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix about how he’s planning to adjust to life at home with his family.

But the 35-year-old expressed how, as he’s grown older and been more receptive of issues away from the track, he is more willing to take steps to tackle them.

“It sounds a bit stereotype…
