GOODMAN, Wis. — The Goodman-Armstrong Creek Lions Club hosted its 19th annual Predator Hunt and Gun and Meat Raffle.
The event took place at Rocque’s 8-Hi Club in Goodman, where 350 pounds of meat and nine guns were won by locals as well as people from all over the United States.
Stan Maruszczak of Armstrong Creek was the big gun winner.
Two trapping teams and six calling teams collected a total of 29 predators. Wisconsin hunters from Armstrong Creek, Monico and Wabeno, as well as teams from as far away as Oostburg and Rubicon competed for cash prizes and bragging rights.
Predator hunts in Wisconsin are conducted to manage predator populations and reduce competition for prey. Hunting is also a significant part of Wisconsin’s history, culture, and economy.
