Cost of wolf-killed livestock, pets up this year in Wisconsin

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

Wolf conflicts with livestock and pets are running ahead of 2023 at this point of the year. Part of that could be increasing wolf populations, or wolves moving closer to inhabited areas as pack areas fill up in wilder parts of Wisconsin.

Part of this change also could be that wolves are simply hungrier this year than last after an open winter that might have made it more difficult for wolves to kill deer. Deep snowpack favors wolves over deer. With the past mild winter, deer were not as easy of a target as they were in the winter of 2022-23, one of the more severe winters in the northern tier of counties in recent memory.

Steve Pollick: This year’s drought in Ohio provides wildlife lessons to ponder

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio, Opinion /

If I were a minnow in Froggy Bottom Creek, out behind my house, I would be worried about losing life and limb.
The current drought, which has afflicted more than 90% of Ohio and all or parts of 87 of 88 counties at this writing, is drying up its aquatic home and the remaining “little fish” are being crowded into skinnier and skinnier water. I corralled a couple of them the other day and asked my friend and colleague, Fred Snyder, about them.

Autumn trout fishing in Pennsylvania means colors galore… above and below the water

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

More than 130 tree species plus a mixture of shrubs, which grow from sea level to elevations several thousand feet above sea level, ensure that Pennsylvania’s landscape bursts with an assortment of vibrant colors each October.
