High Capacity Wells in Wisconsin

High Capacity Wells Wisconsin

High capacity wells in Wisconsin could drastically affect water levels in your favorite streams and lakes

High Capacity Wells’ Effects on Water Levels

Most people probably do not realize the sheer volume of water that high capacity wells draw from the water table. The Wisconsin Administrative Code defines a high capacity well system as “one or more wells, drillholes or mineshafts on a property that have a combined approved pump capacity of 70 or more gallons per minute” (High Capacity Well Information). This is an astounding number. Many of these high capacity wells draw over one million gallons of water every year. This high volume of water must be replaced in order to keep a balance in the water levels of aquifers. Continue Reading →

Under Armour Ridge Reaper Camo

Under Armour Ridge Reaper Barren Series Camo

The Under Armour Ridge Reaper Barren Series Camo is a new pattern from UA that offers a disruptive camouflage design

Under Armour used to be the front runner for camouflage apparel for younger and “hipper” hunters. They produced the best fitting, coolest looking and most technologically advanced gear on the market. You could easily spend near $1,000 on a new set of gear, fully equipped from head to toe with the UA symbol. People didn’t mind spending that much either, because they knew they were getting the best stuff out there. At some point though, this all changed and the gear they produced wasn’t the coolest on the market anymore and didn’t offer the best patterns. They’re back in the game.  Continue Reading →

Listen to hear these chilling coyote howls erupt in the woods. Continue Reading →
