Federal agency has plans to prohibit bear baiting in Alaskan national preserves

National Hunting, National News /

The National Park Service said last week that it intends to ban hunters from baiting bears in national preserves in Alaska.
The new rule, set to take effect later this summer, would bar sport hunters from using bait, such as bacon grease, pastries, syrup or dog food, to attract bears, the agency said in a statement. Baiting “encourages bears to become conditioned to human-provided food, increasing the likelihood of negative human-bear interactions,” the agency said.

A February fire at a Utah aquaculture feed plant may affect trout and salmon fish hatchery operations now and well into the future in at least Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
DNR fish hatchery supervisors in all three states have depended on Skretting’s specialized trout and salmon feed to raise trout and salmon for inland waters and the Great Lakes. Skretting’s Tooele, Utah, plant manufactures a wide range of aquaculture feeds. The fire may force the closure of that plant.

It might be a pheasant hunter’s dream to be in the middle of thousands of loose pheasants, but that’s not what Bill MacFarlane wanted.
MacFarlane, owner and president of MacFarlane Pheasants, Inc. in Janesville, Wis., incurred Mother Nature’s wrath June 22 when an EF2 tornado ripped through the area, tearing the roof off brooder barns and destroying outdoor pheasant pens on the farm.

Minnesota’s Pro Fishing Tip of the Week: Summer crappies require time, patience

Features, Fishing, Minnesota, National Fishing, Pro Tips /

Summer crappies aren’t the easiest fish to find. After the spawn, crappies tend to stay fairly close to the same areas and migrate to deeper water.
We’re not talking 18 feet or more, but depths of 8 to 12 feet. Crappies love some type of cover nearby and will be looking for emerging weedbeds, brush, rock piles, and shoreline docks that have food and shade.

Multi-species opportunity awaits on Lapeer County’s Nepessing Lake in Michigan

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Michigan /

It’s well known among local anglers that Lapeer County’s Lake Nepessing is a good bass lake.
There were a total of seven bass tournaments held on the lake last year, according to the Michigan DNR’s bass tournament registration information, and another six are scheduled this year between June 12 and Oct. 6. Not only does this water body attract tournament anglers, but Master Angler records show that Nepessing has produced four MA largemouth bass including a whopping 24.6-incher back in 2010.
