Outdoor Observations: Who should be considered a “nonresident” when it comes to Michigan hunting, fishing licenses?
My friend, Mark, lived and worked in Michigan most of his life. He owned multiple homes here, and back in the 1990s he bought a piece of property in Kaleva that he converted into a deer-hunting camp.
Upon retirement, as many retirees do, Mark found himself wintering in Florida. He maintains a home and the hunting property here in Michigan but changed his official residence to Florida. That created a conundrum.
Multi-species opportunity awaits on Lapeer County’s Nepessing Lake in Michigan
It’s well known among local anglers that Lapeer County’s Lake Nepessing is a good bass lake.
There were a total of seven bass tournaments held on the lake last year, according to the Michigan DNR’s bass tournament registration information, and another six are scheduled this year between June 12 and Oct. 6. Not only does this water body attract tournament anglers, but Master Angler records show that Nepessing has produced four MA largemouth bass including a whopping 24.6-incher back in 2010.

Stocking boosts walleye numbers in Michigan’s Lower Herring Lake
If you’re looking for a meal rather than a limit, and a relatively quiet lake rather than a rambunctious one, Benzie County’s Lower Herring Lake is worth checking out.
“Lower Herring Lake has a relatively diverse fish community. Because of its (sometimes) direct connection to Lake Michigan, it hosts many species not commonly found in many inland lakes in Michigan,” wrote DNR Fisheries Supervisor Mark Tonello in a summary of the most recent survey of the fishery in Lower Herring.

Outdoor Observations: Wolf tracking survey numbers in from Michigan, camera survey should provide clearer picture
The numbers are in from last winter’s wolf tracking survey in Michigan.
According to the DNR, there was a minimum of 762 adult wolves in 158 packs in the Upper Peninsula last winter, which biologists say points to a stable population. In 2022, the last time wolves were surveyed, the state estimated that there was a minimum of 631 wolves in the U.P.
The state is in the middle of the first year of a new camera survey of the wolf population that should provide a better look at the total wolf population as opposed to a minimum as the tracking surveys provide.
