DNR Report

Michigan biologists seek public’s help in locating bear dens

Featured, Michigan, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

While you’re enjoying time outdoors this fall and winter, keep an eye open for black bear dens.
Reporting den locations to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is a simple, yet effective way to support bear management programs.
“Finding winter den locations is an important component to managing black bear populations, and we need hunter, trapper and landowner assistance to add new den sites to the program in the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula,” said Mark Boersen, wildlife biologist at the DNR Roscommon Customer Service Center.

Fall trout spawn in full swing in Iowa

Featured, Fishing, Iowa, National Fishing, News /

Brilliant fall colors are not only found in trees, but also in streams and the Manchester Fish Hatchery. These underwater splashes of color are signs that trout spawning season is in full swing.
Thanks to an increase in self-sustaining, naturally reproducing brown trout populations throughout Northeast Iowa, there was no need to collect brown trout eggs this fall. In past years, brood trout from the French Creek genetic lineage were collected from French Creek in Allamakee County or Spring Branch Creek in Delaware County, raised at the hatchery then stocked in streams as 2-inch fingerlings.

Commentary: Staying safe on cold water is everyone’s responsibility

Fishing, Hunting, Minnesota, National Fishing, National Hunting, Opinion /

To anyone on or around the water this fall, the Minnesota DNR offers this reminder: Your safety is your responsibility. With water temperatures consistently dropping, unexpected falls into the water are more likely to end in tragedy because even strong swimmers can become incapacitated quickly in cold water.
