Is lake sturgeon the next iconic creature headed to the Endangered Species List?

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Wisconsin /

Fans of Wisconsin lake sturgeon fear their pursuits of this unique fish could come to a screeching halt sometime this summer if the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) caves to a protectionist group that’s suing to place sturgeon nationwide on the federal Endangered Species List.
The Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned the USFWS in 2018 for a “threatened” listing under the Endangered Species Act for all lake sturgeon in the country, or for separate listings of distinct populations as threatened or endangered.

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Wisconsin /

When Kevin Hamann married his wife, Sheila, in 1988 he had no idea at the time what he was getting into.
The couple met as students at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the early 1980s. Sheila was one of Ron and Donna Wilson’s five daughters and the family lived near Middle Inlet, Wis., a few miles north of Crivitz, in Marinette County. Hamann grew up in Marshfield, earned degrees in public administration and eventually served as Oconto County’s administrator for nearly 25 years before retiring in early 2022.

They were back on that 40-acre mixture of woods and swamp a few miles east of Scandinavia Nov. 18 for opening day of Wisconsin’s traditional gun deer hunt. While Kiesow’s father, Keith, and another hunter remained in their stands, Kevin took a lunch break near his truck.

Pelican recovering from gunshot wound after being found on Wisconsin lake

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

An American white pelican found with a gunshot wound on Lake Iola continues to recover at a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Antigo, Wis.
Jonathan Kaiser, a DNR warden investigating the case, said the pelican may have been shot because of a perception the large birds have a negative effect on a lake’s fish population.
“It sounds like there had been a flock of pelicans present on the Iola millpond earlier this summer,” he said. “It appears to have been shot. Someone may have shot it because of unfounded concerns pelicans are detrimental to fish populations.”
