Outdoor Observations: Wolf tracking survey numbers in from Michigan, camera survey should provide clearer picture

The numbers are in from last winter’s wolf tracking survey in Michigan.
According to the DNR, there was a minimum of 762 adult wolves in 158 packs in the Upper Peninsula last winter, which biologists say points to a stable population. In 2022, the last time wolves were surveyed, the state estimated that there was a minimum of 631 wolves in the U.P.
The state is in the middle of the first year of a new camera survey of the wolf population that should provide a better look at the total wolf population as opposed to a minimum as the tracking surveys provide.

Fawning season is upon us, and motorists, outdoor users should take note

With does now in the middle of fawning season, another period of high seasonal deer movement is underway, proving that there is no off-season for being diligent about deer crossing the roads.   
As does approach the last few days of their pregnancy, they drive away last year’s offspring as they search for isolation to safely give birth to this year’s fawns. By chasing away all other deer, she can decrease the chances of attracting predators by having additional animals in the immediate area, allow the newborn fawn(s) to imprint on her alone, and be able to devote more attention to her helpless offspring.
