Throughout the summer, government officials were busy tossing thousands of oral rabies vaccine packets across western Pennsylvania and several other states in the East.
The packets were dropped from airplanes and helicopters, along with vehicles, and it’s all part of the fight to diminish rabies cases in raccoons and other susceptible wildlife, including skunks and canines.
On the spurs of a record-breaking spring turkey harvest in Minnesota, the fall turkey season promises a return to a business-as-usual pace. The autumn kill usually hovers around a bit less than 1,300 birds.
“We don’t sell tons and tons of fall hunting licenses. … A lot of people, I think, put them in their back pockets in case they see turkeys while they’re deer hunting,” said Nate Huck, the Minnesota DNR’s resident game bird specialist.

In 2012, when Hurricane Sandy went through the north coast, causing massive storm damage from high winds, emerald shiners were noticeably affected. Afterward, wild bait collectors could not find any wild schools near their normal nearshore locations.
Not only did the shiner shortage last the rest of the season, but the population of this preferred bait minnow has still not fully recovered. The past few years have been better, but at lower levels than desired.

In late August, Ohio Sea Grant Director Chris Winslow, Fisheries Extension Specialist Tory Gabriel, and the Ohio State University’s Stone Laboratory staff hosted 25 licensed charter captains to provide them with information that they can pass on to their clientele. These workshops that began in 2014 are designed to provide active Lake Erie charter captains updates about the status of the fisheries from the Ohio Division of Wildlife, research being conducted, how current environmental conditions are affecting fish population and health, Stone Lab’s water quality monitoring program, and a tour of the biological field station.
