Minnesota deer hunters can share wildlife observations to help better understand multiple species

Featured, Hunting, Minnesota, News /

The Minnesota archery deer season opens on Sept. 14, and hunters are encouraged to use the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ online log for deer and other wildlife sightings.
“We’re asking deer hunters to share their observations of wildlife to help broaden our knowledge about deer and other wildlife species,” said Eric Michel, Minnesota DNR ungulate research scientist. “This is our fourth year using a community science approach, and we’re hoping to build on the helpful results from the last few years.”

Iowa’s roadside pheasant count down from 2023, but good season still expected

Featured, Hunting, Iowa, National Hunting, National News, News /

Results of Iowa’s 2024 pheasant population survey are in and the results were nearly identical to the 2022 and 2021 surveys.
The annual August roadside survey found Iowa’s statewide pheasant population to be 19 birds per 30-mile route, down from 23 birds per route in 2023. The decline was expected after much of Iowa received 3-7 inches of rainfall above normal during the nesting season.

Anna Buckardt Thomas was crouched behind a tree about 20 paces off trail at Brown’s Woods county park, watching a mist net while playing a recording of a male wood thrush on a loop hoping to elicit a response.
The researcher with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is working as part of a western hemisphere study on animal migration from Canada to Central and South America, and she needs to catch and apply small radio tags to 14 more wood thrushes this summer to meet her quota.
