“On the weekend before Thanksgiving, hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites head out to the woods to hunt deer. It’s a tradition enjoyed by men, women, adults and children alike — something that one Eau Claire-based photographer strove to represent in his new book.
Besides the hunters themselves, Dewitz’s new collection features images of businesses and individuals whose livelihoods depend on the hunt, as well as people who work to keep the hunt safe, like Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources game warden Scott Thiede.

She said that she had been hunting deer and other animals for over 40 years.One “Larry Meiller Show” listener who said her name was Darlene shared a story that reflected how much deer hunting can revolve around family.

“BLAZE ORANGE” Larry Meiller Show
Hi Travis, I heard you today on Wisconsin Public Radio. I grew up in northwestern Wisconsin (Cushing, Polk County) and still go back home to deer hunt each year with the guys I grew up with. They have a cabin on State land, in The Barrons, north of Cushing. I will be picking up 6 copies of your book on the way, in Eau Claire, to give to my fellow hunters.I am looking forward to reading your book!
