Walleyes, one of the most sought-after species in freshwater sport fishing in the Midwest, are also struggling to survive in the warming waters of the Midwestern United States and Canada.
According to a new study published Feb. 26 in the journal Limnology and Oceanography Letters, part of the problem is that walleyes are creatures of habit, and the seasons – especially winter – are changing quickly enough to prevent walleyes from keeping up.

The Wisconsin DNR’s final report for the 2023 deer season showed an 11% overall reduction in harvest from 2022, although the Southern Farmland Zone exceeded the 2022 harvest.
Jeff Pritzl, DNR deer program specialist, told Natural Resources Board (NRB) members Feb. 28 that though northern hunters are exasperated over the lower harvest, it wasn’t really any different from the 2019 harvest.

In January, the Wisconsin State Assembly unanimously passed AB-270, a bill that would require those students ages 17 and younger to take an in-person, hands-on Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hunter safety course and exam in order to receive certification to hunt.
Led by Rep. Treig Pronchinske (R-Mondovi), Chairman of the Assembly Sporting Heritage Committee, this bill was overwhelmingly supported by both sides of the aisle. Meanwhile, the five-member Senate Sporting Heritage Committee has received the senate version of AB-270 in order to take action on it.
The Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs of Sullivan County held its 16th annual coyote hunting contest on Feb. 2-4. The event helped raised tens of thousands of dollars for the local community and also helps support the federation’s numerous youth outdoor programs.
But it was the last such event the sportsmen’s organization can hold. In December, Gov Kathy Hochul signed legislation that as of Nov. 1 of this year will end organized coyote hunting contests, and similar events.Â
