FOND DU LAC, Wis. — A deer hunter whose kayak capsized Saturday morning in an eastern Wisconsin wildlife area was rescued after spending about an hour in icy waters.

Authorities say the 27-year-old man from Waupaca was being treated at a hospital for hypothermia after Lamartine firefighters used an inflatable rescue sled to pull him from the Fond du Lac River north of the Mascoutin Valley State Park Trail. His condition is not known, but he was able to give details to law enforcement.

Here’s more from Alaska’s News Source:

The bear was noticed in October when a biologist and others observed three bear cubs with a sow who was having difficulty walking. One of the cubs was later abandoned by the sow and had to be euthanized by the Department of Fish and Game after having multiple seizures. A necropsy revealed no signs of trauma, so additional tests were required to rule out canine distemper or rabies.

“The virus that causes HPAI was detected on both nasal and rectal swabs and in brain tissue screening at Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory and Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center, respectively,” ADF&G said in an email. “Detection and identification of the virus as H5N1 was confirmed by the National Veterinary Services Laboratory this week.”

According to the Division of Wildlife, the cub likely developed HPAI after exposure to a dead bird.

Dog filleted, skinned three miles from brutal Idaho college murders weeks before: report

Nancy Grace on the manhunt for killer of Idaho students: ‘The devil is in the details’

Fox Nation host Nancy Grace on the manhunt following the recent murders of four University of Idaho students.

A dog was found filleted and skinned weeks before four University of Idaho students were found stabbed to death, leaving some locals to fear that the two crimes are connected, according to a new report.

Buddy, a 12-year-old mini Australian shepherd, was found skinned head to tail Oct. 21 after his owners, Jim and Pam Colbert, let him out in the backyard in Moscow, Idaho, according to the Daily Mail.

“We called the sheriff’s department and the supervisor said that Buddy had been skinned,” his shaken owner, Pam, 78, told the news site. 

“It was like a deer that someone had hunted. They cut him around the neck and just skinned him. His little legs had fur and his little face had fur, but the rest of him was just skinned,” she continued.

The slain dog was found three miles from where Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20, were mysteriously slaughtered Nov. 13 in their off-campus home.

Authorities have not linked the quadruple homicide to Buddy’s killing and did not immediately return a request for comment on the matter Monday.

Pam said Buddy had been cut like a filleted fish: “We found his collar, but we didn’t find the pelt.”

A Latah County Sheriff’s Deputy confirmed to the Daily Mail that Buddy’s killer was human.

Buddy, a 12-year-old Australian shepherd, was found skinned and filleted Oct. 21, 2022 — three miles from the home where four University of Idaho students were slaughtered on Nov. 13, 2022. At right are Buddy and his owner, Jim Colbert.

“Everybody is very nervous and scared,” Pam said of her dog’s killing and the quadruple homicide. “This is something awful and evil.”

The couple, who have lived in their home on 10 acres for 39 years, started locking their doors for the first time after Buddy’s death.

Pam said that after letting Buddy out Oct. 21, he did not return.

‘We let Buddy out and somebody must have been waiting out there,” she said. “Bud never leaves the yard, but this person grabbed Buddy.”

Police have named the four University of Idaho victims of an apparent quadruple homicide as Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves.

Later that night, Jim, 73, and his friends started searching for the dog and made the grisly find.

“The other side of him was as though they had filleted him like they were about to eat him. It was terrible, unbelievable,” Pam said.

In a press conference Sunday, police said they still have not identified any suspects or persons of interest in the slayings of the Idaho students.

They have ruled out the surviving roommates, the man whom two of the victims called before the murders and the driver who drove two of the slain students home.

Investigators were combing the woods Sunday surrounding the King Road home where the students were attacked between 3 and 4 a.m., likely with a single knife, according to Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt. 

She said they may have been ambushed in their sleep and some of them had defensive wounds.

Investigators were also seen going through a white Chevrolet sedan, which was parked outside the home.

Police initially said that the attack on the students was “targeted” and posed no imminent threat to the community.

They have since walked back the statement, telling the public to remain vigilant as long as the assailant remains at large. Officials also have not zeroed in on a motive yet.

An elusive bird has been photographed on an island of Papua New Guinea, the first documentation of the animal since 1882. The black-naped pheasant-pigeon was photographed for the first time in 140 years with a remote camera trap set up by a research team conducting a search of lost birds.

The expedition team, working as part of theSearch for Lost Birds, had been looking for the bird on Fergusson Island for a month, according to a press release.

The Search for Lost Birds is a collaboration of three conservation and bird groups: Re:wild, founded by Leonardo DiCaprio and a group of conservation scientists, American Bird Conservancy, and BirdLife International, which is a group of 115 national NGOs.

The group set up 12 cameras on Mt. Kilkerran, Fergusson’s highest mountain. It was the first camera trapping study…

LOVELLS, Mich. (AP) — An 80-year-old Michigan hunter who got lost and repeatedly fell into a river was rescued by canoe after a police dog tracked down the soaked man.

The man’s wife called Michigan State Police on Wednesday evening after her husband, who had gone out to track deer, failed to return home after three hours. State police said her concerns grew when she heard her husband shooting several shots, which meant he was lost, MLive.com reported.
