Young carp found farther north in Illinois River

Featured, Illinois, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

The discovery of hundreds of young silver carp in the Illinois River prompted DNR and its partner agencies to intensify monitoring of invasive carp in the river’s upper stretches.
DNR reported that sampling crews captured hundreds of juvenile silver carp measuring 4 to 6 inches in the Marseilles Pool, roughly 80 miles southwest of Lake Michigan. The discovery is significant because the fish were young enough to indicate that silver carp are reproducing in the upper Illinois River watershed rather than simply moving north from established populations farther downstream.

In Illinois, deer hunters are bobcat trackers, too

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

Illinois deer hunters are seeing bobcats far more often than they did two decades ago, and DNR is using those observations to help track the species’ continuing recovery.
Meanwhile, for hunters hoping to pursue an actual bobcat during the upcoming season, the deadline to apply for a permit is Sept. 30. The modern Illinois bobcat season is built and has been growing on decades of research and monitoring, including university studies and the previously mentioned deer hunter survey.

An outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) has killed more than 100 deer in Wisconsin’s Washington County as of Aug. 19. That number will increase as more reports of dead deer are received by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
“It’s hard to have an exact estimate at this time as we are getting reports every day and multiple reports every day,” DNR Deer Herd Specialist Erin Larson said Aug. 19.

Members of more than 65 groups from throughout Wisconsin met Monday, Aug. 24, at the East Side Club on the shore of Lake Monona, as the Wisconsin Conservation Funding Coalition held its first summit to help develop ideas to solve the state’s conservation funding crisis.
The coalition’s effort brought stakeholders together to develop new ways to provide more, and sustainable, funding for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The afternoon’s work will eventually result in a statement of the group’s values and ideas for new fish, wildlife and state park funding mechanisms.
