Cormorant concerns rise on New York’s Lake George

Joe Greco, a longtime charter boat captain on Lake George, frequently sees them lurking on several of the lake’s islands, waiting to gobble the sportfish that Greco and his clients are chasing – double-crested cormorants, a fish-eating bird that has raised concerns on Lake George and other Adirondack lakes in recent years.
A decade or so ago, cormorants were rare on Lake George.

Walleye limit on Minnesota’s Mille Lacs to increase, slot unchanged

Likely around mid-August, the Minnesota DNR will increase the limit of walleyes an angler may take from two fish to three thanks to state anglers harvesting only about 22% of its allowed take.
Despite that change, the Mille Lacs Fisheries Advisory Committee members and DNR officials don’t expect the state’s kill to increase significantly with the slot remaining the same – now allowing three walleyes 17 inches or larger but only one over 20 inches.

Outdoor Observations: Michigan DNR names new deer, elk and moose specialist

Congratulations to Brent Rudolph, the new deer, elk and moose specialist for the Michigan DNR.
Many of you might remember Brent since he worked for the DNR for 18 years, much of that time spent as a deer research biologist and the deer and elk program leader. He announced last week in a Linkedin post that he’d started a new job as the deer, moose, and elk management specialist with the DNR.

Lean on experience hunting deer when pursuing elk, moose

If you had the option to pick one dream hunt of your choice in North America, what would you pursue?
For some, a spring grizzly hunt in Manitoba might be the first pick. For others, the interest might be in tracking lions through the Rocky Mountains with a seasoned team of Walker hounds. For the waterfowlers, my money would be either on a speckle belly hunt in the plains of Saskatchewan or standing in a flooded timber hole at daybreak in the heart of Arkansas.
