Index eclipses 100% increase in bird numbers in the southwest, but it’s not all good news for Minnesota hunters.
“Pheasant hunters certainly have reason to cheer in the southwest region this year, and we also saw increases in the west-central portions of the state,” said Tim Lyons, DNR upland game research scientist. “Other regions saw declines in pheasant numbers, possibly because of more severe winter weather and more severe drought during the breeding season.”
Statewide, pheasants averaged a 10% increase from 2022 and are 26% above the 10-year average. This year’s statewide pheasant index was 53 birds per 100 miles of roads driven, compared with 48 per 100 miles in 2022.

Anyone who thinks timber wolves only eat sick, lame, and lazy deer, or maybe a dwaddling beaver here and there, may be surprised to learn wolves suffer indignation not one whit from eating stale Wonder Bread, stiff Chip’s Ahoy cookies, moldy Pop Tarts, granola bars, popcorn, dry marshmallows or just about anything a guy might stuff into a bear bait stump.
Bear hunters have known this to be true ever since the state’s wolf population started building in the 1980s. Now that the state’s wolf numbers easily exceed 1,300 animals, bear hunters are feeding as many wolves as they are bears.

Anyone could tell by talking to Wausau, Wis., resident Tim Witzeling that he takes pride and enjoyment from the 400 acres he owns in northern Lincoln County.
“We’ve had the property for almost 20 years and hunt deer and bear there,” he said. “We’ve always had wolves out there – bears, too – but we’re not seeing bears on trail cameras or baits this year like we have in the past,” Witzeling said. “We’re running three baits about a mile apart in kind of a triangle shape this year. We have a few bears coming in, but we usually have a lot more activity.”
Most of the animals Witzeling is seeing on his cameras are wolves. He’s convinced the number of wolves this year are the reason he can’t keep bears on the baits.

A federal judge on Aug. 24 approved an agreement between four Native American tribes and state and federal regulatory agencies to revise a fishing policy covering parts of three of the Great Lakes.
The deal extends for 24 years a system overseeing commercial and sport fishing in sections of lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior covered by an 1836 treaty. Those areas are entirely within the U.S. and under Michigan’s jurisdiction.
