Volunteers from Wisconsin’s halted co-op trout rearing program have voices heard in meeting with DNR staff

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, News, Wisconsin /

They came to an open forum looking for answers as to why what seemed like a perfect marriage of a government program and the private sector – the long-running trout rearing co-op program – was abruptly ended.

Why, in late June, would the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) cut a successful rearing/stocking program with 21 southwestern Wisconsin sportsmen’s clubs mid-stream? More than 50 people, many of them upset and frustrated with the lack of communication with the DNR, showed up at the Arcadia Sportsman’s Club Tuesday night, Aug. 13, to meet with DNR Fisheries Chief Justine Hasz and Dave Giehtbrock, DNR section chief for fisheries.

Wisconsin’s Monroe County summit brings CWD info to hunters

Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Wisconsin /

Monroe County officials are not waiting for an onslaught of chronic wasting disease (CWD) to cross their county’s borders, instead they have opted to battle it head-on in a non-lethal way.
They are confronting CWD with rounds of information. One such informational shot came Aug. 19 at the Wilton American Legion Post 508 where 33 people attended a three-hour CWD summit, an educational event where Wisconsin DNR personnel, along with hunters and landowners, shared the latest information on the prion-based disease and what steps can be taken to slow its spread.

Multi-faceted study helps researchers better understand Wisconsin’s southern elk herd

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

Typically born away from the herd in the remote, even isolated, reaches of the 68,000- acre Black River State Forest, these four-legged animals are far from alone.
Elk calves, after all, are a high-interest species that are GPS-tracked a few days after hitting the landscape. A Wisconsin DNR team, headed by biologist Christina Kizweski and stocked with volunteers, has been locating elk calves during the May and June birthing season, then fitting the 42-pound (average) critters with expandable GPS collars.
