Commentary: Time for Fish and Wildlife agencies to re-engage with constituents

Featured, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Michigan, Minnesota, Opinion, Opinion, Opinion, Wisconsin /

The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is unique.
Nowhere else in the world did hunters and anglers coalesce and become a sufficiently powerful political force to save fish, wildlife, and their habitats from ruin beyond recovery. It’s a story that everyone should know, not just consumptive users of the resource, but the public as well.

Steve Griffin: The best part of the hunt isn’t always the kill

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Opinion /

The best part of the pheasant hunt wasn’t even in the field.
It was the campfire.
OK, there wasn’t a fireplace, or a fire, around which eight or 10 of us sat after the season-ending pheasant hunt at writer Tom Lounsbury’s farm near Cass City in December’s last days. But there was the feeling of a campfire, and the sharing of stories, the camaraderie that’s almost always prominent in the very best of my hunting and fishing memories.

Dean Bortz: Just what the heck is a ‘green sheet’ on the Wisconsin NRB meeting agenda?

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, News, Wisconsin /

I’ve been navigating the natural resources management “hallways” from the Wisconsin DNR to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the state university system to local conservation groups to the Natural Resources Board and to the Conservation Congress (whoops, almost forgot court systems and the legislature) for so long now I know where to turn and who to talk to if a question arises on any topic.
It’s long been second nature for me and any other outdoors reporter.

A year ago, North Dakota was in the middle of what would prove to be a long, difficult winter season. But 12 months later, the state has largely escaped those same harsh conditions.

Wardens at Work: Wisconsin hunter used poison to ‘protect’ deer bait from rodents

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Wisconsin /

Leasing land, preparing to hunt during the 2023 deer season, and not seeing enough deer does not grant anyone permission to set up multiple bait sites and protect the apples and corn from rodents by setting out poison.
That’s what Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Conservation Warden Kyle Ziembo found in Marathon County when he followed up on information from a hotline call that came in prior to the gun deer season opener on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023.
