Here’s how to take care of your hunting dog this fall

Features, National Hunting /

When it comes to seeing, hearing and understanding the issues hunters encounter firsthand, North Dakota Game and Fish Department game wardens are reliable sources for issues such as hunter safety. Their guidance provide hunters with points of emphasis to keep themselves and other hunters safe.
The same goes for one of the most obvious companions of the hunter. The hunting dog. Game warden Josh Hedstrom knows a lot about both hunter safety and recently shared key points to keep in mind when hunting with dogs.

Outdoor News Asks: Should Minnesota’s early teal hunting season continue?

Featured, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

From Sept. 2-6, Minnesota waterfowlers can take part in an early teal hunting season.
This year’s hunt will conclude a three-year experiment required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before waterfowl managers determine whether or not the hunt continues in future years. Outdoor News asked hunters if they have hunted this early teal season and if they think the hunt should continue into the future.

Minnesota study gains insight into how brainworm impacts state’s low moose numbers

Featured, Home Page News, Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

New moose research conducted by scientists at the University Minnesota and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is shedding added light on why the population of the iconic northwoods giant declined so precipitously in northeastern part of the state beginning in 2006.
Researchers say the primary driver behind the decline is brainworm, a parasite that impacts the animal’s nervous system, which can lead to paralysis and ultimately death. This has been known for years. The new research, however, discovered evidence that moose in Minnesota consume species of gastropods – slugs and snails – that are known hosts of the brainworm parasite.

New hunter access program launched in South Dakota

Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, News /

Pheasant hunters in South Dakota will have new acres of ground to walk in pursuit of the wily upland birds courtesy of a new statewide voluntary, incentive-based habitat access program set to launch this month.
The Public Access to Habitat (PATH) Program is a partnership-driven effort to boost access to areas of new upland habitat enrolled in long-term conservation programs across South Dakota. A $250,000 commitment from digital mapping company onX and the South Dakota Department of Tourism is providing the initial funding for the program, with a goal of creating new public access to 10,000 acres of quality habitat during the coming year.

A Lake Erie Western Basin limit of perch would make Cousin Bitz smile

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, Ohio /

The creaks, cracks, and groans weren’t coming from the perch charter vessel at all.
Instead, the commotion heard aboard the Tibbels Marina’s boat was originating from those doing the “perch-jerking” off Lake Erie’s Bass Islands. Or so it seemed, given that the 12 (or was it 13?) anglers were all of sufficient age to qualify for AARP membership. Some, almost certainly for quite some time.

A perch resurgence in the Upper Midwest: What’s fueled the comeback?

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

If you spend any amount of time talking with anglers in the Midwest, the topic of perch likely will come up. They’re one of the main forage species for a number of game fish, including bass, walleyes, pike, and muskies. Plus, they’re a fan favorite of many anglers.
Anglers who lived through the 1980s, ’90s, and early 2000s can remember the premier bites that existed on many Minnesota lakes, such as Winnibigoshish, Leech, and Mille Lacs. But for nearly the past two decades, finding quality perch on many lakes hasn’t been a viable option. That is, until now.

Research reveals fish weir legacy in Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna River

Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

No matter the passage of time, man’s imprint on the environment is difficult to erase, whether it occurred decades, centuries or millennia ago. 
If you were to get a bird’s eye view of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, you might see something known as a fish weir. The long V-shaped walls were built of stacked rocks by Native Americans and early European settlers to trap fish.
Jennifer Elick, associate professor of earth and environmental sciences at Susquehanna University, and two of her students are studying how these weirs contributed to the formation of islands within the river.
