As the corner turns on summer, the sun gets further away from the Earth, and the days get shorter and shorter. That means trout waters start to once again cool down and trout anglers begin making plans for backcountry excursions.

Iowa’s early teal hunting season begins on Sept. 1, offering the state’s waterfowl hunters their first chance of the fall to get back into the marshes.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes the September teal season available when the teal population is above certain levels. This early season runs for 16 days statewide (September 1-16).
“The early season is timed to take advantage of the peak migration of teal through Iowa,” said Orrin Jones, waterfowl research biologist headquartered out of Clear Lake.

The Wisconsin DNR’s Aug. 1 release of its revised wolf plan tells the public the state has room for at least 1,200 timber wolves. That number is now … an expectation. Or a guidance. Or in other words, about where the DNR expects to see the state’s wolf population hold going forward. That number is also a long way from a population goal of 350 wolves, or fewer, sought by the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation (WWF), Conservation Congress, and more than 25 county boards across northern Wisconsin.

Genetically speaking, humans have roughly 10,000 differences from other mammals – mostly related to brain development. This might sound like a lot, but the human genome is about 3 billion base pairs, so we’re only 0.003% different from other members of Class Mammalia.
For this reason, it shouldn’t be surprising that chimps and humans are 99% alike, house cats and humans are 90% alike, mice and humans are 85% alike, and cattle and humans are 80% alike.

It took exactly 11 minutes of sitting perfectly still before Poole heard some rapid rustling in a treetop not 30 yards to his east. His reaction: Identify. Point. Aim. Bang.

Byron Young may not be a household name, but he’s well known in Suffolk County, N.Y., for his longtime dedication to the construction of a fish passage through Woodhull Dam on the Little River, a project deemed essential to restoring critical spawning and maturation habitat for river herring and American eel.
Now the retired marine biologist, who spent more than three decades with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, can enjoy a taste of immortality, as the newly minted dam was named in his honor.
