Chase Melton, a 19-year-old duck hunter from Sugar Camp, Wis., shot and killed a gray wolf on Saturday, Sept. 21, in Oneida County when one of several wolves that surrounded him and two younger cousins lunged at their duck blind.
For this article, Wisconsin Outdoor News was able to interview an older hunter who was set up near Melton and his cousins. Jim Lund, of St. Germain, witnessed the entire episode that unfolded while hunting a tributary of the Rainbow Flowage in Oneida County between the towns of Sugar Camp and St. Germain.

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

Deer hunters who have begged the Wisconsin DNR – and then legislators – to ditch the county deer unit system and return to the former “numbered” and habitat-based units of pre-2013 may finally see some movement in that direction following a meeting of the DNR’s deer advisory committee.

New York DEC boosts stocking of pheasants, adds locations

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, New York, News /

Early in 2023, New York’s pheasant propagation program and thus the fall pheasant hunting season were in jeopardy after an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) wiped out most of the population of ringnecks at the Reynolds Game Farm, near Ithaca, the state’s only breeding facility.
This year, not only is the pheasant season guaranteed, but state wildlife officials say it will be bigger and better than ever.

Mike Schoonveld: Four steps to get out of messes that come with trolling

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

Trolling used to be simple. Each person in the boat would select a lure, drop it into the lake and let out some line.
Once the right amount of line was uncoiled off the spool, each angler would simply hold onto the rod until something bit the lure. Then salmon were stocked in the Great Lakes, and nearly extinct walleyes came back in Lake Erie. Innovative anglers started festooning their boats with rod holders, downriggers, planer board masts and other paraphernalia to up the number of rods that could be trolled and to keep the lines and lures separated.

Streams of Thought: Vacancies continue to hinder Minnesota DNR’s fisheries field offices

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing, Opinion /

There’s really not down time, so to speak, when it comes to the operations at Minnesota’s 29 area fisheries offices. That said, things get pretty serious about this time of year, when the task of removing fingerling-size walleyes from lakes and ponds for stocking in waters across the state gets underway.
It’s this stocking (and that of other fish species) upon which a healthy portion of the state’s half-million anglers rely.
