COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina wildlife officials have released 16 more coyotes with a special tag and if hunters kill them, they can get a free hunting license for life.

The Department of Natural Resources has been releasing the tagged coyotes since 2016, when the lawmakers created the program to help limit the population of the animals.

Coyotes attack deer and have caused a 30% decrease in the deer population in South Carolina in the past two decades, the wildlife agency said. They can also attack other small game and pets.

A hunter who kills a tagged coyote will find contact information to claim the lifetime hunting license, which can be given to a friend or family member.

The Polar Vortex is starting to power up unusually in the late Winter Season, reaching record cold levels in the lower stratosphere. This is not without consequences, as it will strengthen the polar circulation into late winter and will be ready to continue into early Spring, influencing the weather in the United States and Europe.

The Polar Vortex is a powerful short-to-medium term weather component during the cold season. It is strongly connected all the way from the ground up into the higher levels of the atmosphere.

For this reason, we always take great notice of the activity high above in the stratosphere and monitor it all the time. In the next days, the Polar Vortex will behave a bit unusual, as it will kick into overdrive, reaching near record-high power values for this time of year.

STEUBEN COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) — Indiana Conservation officers are investigating a hunting accident that happened in the northwest part of Steuben County.

Penick was taken to an Angola hospital in good condition.

SCHUYLER — A hunter in Herkimer County was fined more than $1,000 after claiming he wasn’t trespassing as long as he was standing under power lines, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Authorities said the hunter, whose identity was not released, was found shooting deer on
private property in Schuyler on Dec. 4.

Authorities interviewed the hunter and he told them that if he was standing under power lines that meant he was within a public right-of-way, even on private property.

The hunter claimed he’d hunted under similar right-of-ways for years, authorities said. When questioned further, officials said the hunter admitting to knowing he was wrong.

DEC officials said the hunter had also already filed his regular season antlered tag the week prior.

The hunter went to Schuyler Town Court and pleaded guilty to one count each of trespass, illegally taking a white-tailed…
