GREEN BAY, Wis. — A warm pair of gloves on a cold Wisconsin day is something a deer hunter can appreciate. 'This is a pair of gloves made from our Wisconsin deer hides from last year,' said Brad Behrens, Wisconsin Lions Foundation vice president. Behrens coordinates 220 drop-off sites for the Wisconsin Lions Foundation. He recently stopped at a Fremont location and had about 100 hides in his truck. Behrens said the numbers are looking good this year. (Spectrum News 1/Jon Fuller) 'Last year, we had over 18,000 deer hides and 6,000 tails that we collected for over $80,000,' said Behrens.
