Michigan DNR biologists remove lid that had been stuck on bear’s neck for 2 years

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

In a case that the Michigan DNR says highlights the importance of the agency’s bear-baiting regulations, state wildlife biologists in Montmorency County recently removed a plastic lid from the neck of a young black bear that had carried the encumbrance around for two years.
It isn’t known exactly where or how the male bear got its head stuck in a 5-inch hole in the lid. The blue plastic lid is similar to those that fit 55-gallon drums used by hunters to bait bear and by landowners to store materials that can attract bears, such as chicken feed.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced in a release on June 18 that it has added eight counties to a deer feeding and attractant ban to reduce the risk of chronic wasting disease spread.
The announcement comes after CWD was detected in wild deer in new areas of the state last year.
“The feeding and attractant ban is one tool to reduce unnatural congregating of deer and lower the risk of CWD spread,” said Paul Burr, acting big game program coordinator.

Stories of big fish in North Dakota waters

Features, Fishing, Minnesota, National Fishing /

I’m old enough to remember when North Dakota had a closed fishing season, I bought my fishing license at a gas station, with a trout stamp, and signed my name on the side so as not to mark the stamp’s beautiful artwork.
With that I reference the point of view of Greg Power, North Dakota’s fisheries division chief, who began with the Game and Fish Department while I was at Wakefield Elementary school in LaMoure. So, when it comes to sharing stories about “big fish” from North Dakota, he has some amazing fish tales.

How a rookie caught her first Minnesota walleye (and the angling bug)

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

The first half of this year has brought many first experiences for me: eating pickled northern pike, shooting a 12-gauge shotgun, spending a weekend chasing turkeys, and, most recently, catching my first Minnesota walleye.
And the walleyes in Deer Lake on Wednesday, June 11, didn’t make it easy – for me, at least.

The great egret population has largely recovered in the U.S., with the big birds becoming somewhat common in the South. But in Pennsylvania, the stately white fish-eater is listed as “state endangered,” with breeding populations in just two small, isolated areas.
According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, one is on Wade Island in the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, and the other is tiny Kiwanis Lake in downtown York.
