Backyard and Beyond: Make way for foxlets

This pair of fox kits might be planning to bite off more than they can chew. Truth to tell, according to photographer Rich Carlson, the kits were probably surprised as they came out of their burrow to find a goose nearby. He said all three left the field without any drama.

Lakeville South trap shooter perfect (twice) on big stage at Minnesota state tournament

Competition has a tendency to bring unexpected results from individuals. Nerves can certainly get the best of some in high-pressure situations, while others might sharpen their focus and direct their energy to accomplish things they have not previously accomplished.
The latter is what happened for Mitchell Kelvie, a 17-year-old trap shooter from Lakeville South High School. For the first time in his life, Kelvie shot a perfect score of 100, and he did it twice the same day. Those perfect scores came during the team and individual state trapshooting tournaments at the Minneapolis Gun Club in Prior Lake on June 20.

State Roundup: Donors play integral role in improving Wisconsin’s outdoors

We have some generous people here in Wisconsin. We see it all the time. In this story, we hear that the Musky Clubs Alliance of Wisconsin gave $75,000 to the DNR to offset muskie stocking costs, allowing the agency to stock more fish this year. That’s a big deal. But it’s not the only big deal to happen in our natural resources world recently.
Look at the agenda for the June 25 Natural Resources Board (NRB) meeting. NRB members will likely accept a number of donations during their meeting in Kenosha.

How to level up your trail camera game this summer to maximize your deer scouting efforts

As is often the case with technology, trail cameras have come a long way in the past two decades.
On average, they are cheaper, produce higher-quality images and videos, and are far more intuitive than are past models. Yet, we still often only utilize a small percentage of what they offer us, and we still tend to set them up in a way that isn’t always conducive to the best recon.

Wisconsin’s David Gunnulson helps save part of Koshkonong prairie in Dane County

Thanks to the Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance (SWBA), a declining population of Wisconsin’s grassland birds is receiving permanent protection of their nesting grounds.
SWBA held a ribbon cutting event at its new Hillside Prairie Sanctuary, June 7, in Dane County’s town of Christina to celebrate land that will continue to be home to grassland birds and other wildlife. The 348-acre farmland, once part of the 18,000-acre Koshkonong prairie, was an active row-cropped farm for five generations until David Gunnulson changed to more ecological hay farming.

Single grass carp only find during spring samplings in Chicago Area Waterway System

Amid all the political fits and fusses this spring that led to the pausing and restarting of the massive project to prevent invasive carp from reaching Lake Michigan, some good news was emerging in a place where politics do not matter. The water.
A report by the Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee indicates that no bighead or silver carp were captured or observed in the Chicago Area Waterway System during the group’s Spring Seasonal Intensive Monitoring effort in late May.
