October is pork month and Kiley Allan has a couple suggestions on how you can help celebrate!  She visits with Keri Retallick, executive director of the WI Pork Association.  Retallick explains the unique flavor profile that pork can offer a recipe.

Some clouds and sprinkles may roll in today before trick-n-treaters hit the streets.  Stu Muck gives us our spooky forecast for a Friday and the weekend.

Things can get a little spooky around this time of the year for Wisconsin drivers.  As the days shorten and the weather changes, deer start changing their movement patterns.  Ben Jarboe gives us some eerie details from Lt. Nate Henrikson, WI state patrol officer.  He says it's important to know how to handle your vehicle if you encounter a deer.  First, drive at a safe speed so you can stop.  Don't swerve for deer, but if you do hit a deer, pull to the side safely and dial 911.  Those are just a few of the officer's tips. Last year WI saw over 17,000 deer related crashes.  Waukesha county led the state with 937 of those crashes.

The National FFA Convention wraps up on Saturday in Indianapolis and it looks like the maps advisors used to get there will be relevant for the future.  Cheryl Zimmerman, WI State FFA Exec. Director says they've inked a deal with the City of Indianapolis to have their annual convention there through 2040.  Zimmerman says the city has committed to continuing to grow its infrastructure to accommodate the current 72,000 attendees and grow for more.  Wisconsin's celebrating 4 national award winners.

Hunters will be heading to the woods with increased frequency now.  Deer and wild turkey are just a few of the game they may be after.  Then what do you do with your prize?  Keeping our Hallwoeen theme, Stephanie Hoff shares some spooky mistakes that can be made if you make your own jerky.  UW-Extension Meat Specialist, Dr. Jeff Sindelair, has some safety tips to keep top-of-mind, as well as some recipe tips that might help make the most of your game.
