Thankfully, the quick-thinking CSAs say they were able to safely help the mischievous mammal and release it back into the wild unharmed.
While CSAs typically handle tasks like assisting with traffic crashes, directing traffic, unlocking vehicles, and enforcing parking rules, this unusual animal call was all in a day's work.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources seeking volunteers to teach next generation of hunters
(WFRV) – Many people know that hunting is part of Wisconsin's heritage; it's a widely popular activity, and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking volunteers to help teach the next generation. The release states that volunteers should expect to teach and certify basic hunting education to students and hunters of all experience levels in practical skills. These opportunities are available statewide. Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs announces closure of Green Bay's Veteran Housing and Recovery Program location The DNR's Hunter Education Program has been offered for nearly 60 years. Since 1967, over 20,000 volunteers have educated hunters across Wisconsin, certifying more than one million individuals. According to the release, the program has significantly decreased the number of hunting safety incidents. The release added that instructor dedication and commitment have been crucial to the program's success, immersing them in a connection with the state's hunting heritage while building up the next generation. There are multiple skills and education classes available that need volunteers to lead, as follows: Basic Hunter Education A firearm safety class is legally required for those seeking to hunt independently. About 4,000 volunteer instructors are needed to teach standard and internationally approved lessons while also administering exams. Volunteers should teach at least one class and attend a recertification workshop every three lessons are beyond basic education, and the DNR, along with partners, offer additional education to teach hunters of all experience levels. Volunteers are sought to coordinate and instruct advanced programs; training is optional but provided upon request. The advanced hunter education programs vary from Outdoor Skills to the Learn to Hunt program. The Learn To Hunt program requires a minimum of four hours of pre-hunting instruction for participants, while educators must have at least five years of experience in the target species.
