Hemorrhagic disease impacting many Iowa counties, but deer hunters off to a good start in 2024

Featured, Hunting, Iowa, National Hunting, News /

Despite warm weather persisting in much of Iowa, roughly 6,000 deer have been registered so far through the youth and disabled hunter seasons, and the opening of the archery and early muzzleloader seasons. 
That is slightly higher than both last year and the five-year average. The crop harvest, cooling temperatures and approaching rut, should increase deer activity leading to greater harvest success, the Iowa DNR said.

Lake Superior anglers asked to report fin-clipped splake to Michigan DNR

Fishing, Michigan, News /

Fishing Lake Superior this fall? Report marked splake to the Michigan DNR.
Splake fishing in the fall on Lake Superior is an experience unmatched anywhere else in the state. As temperatures drop and leaves begin to change, the splake bite picks up as the fish move nearshore. Splake – a hybrid cross between lake trout and brook trout – have been stocked in Lake Superior most years since 1971, with annual stocking since 1990.
