2012-02-15T15:33:00.001-06:00

Wisconsin ranks first in the nation for Trophy Deer hunting. Story by weau.com

If you're looking to bag a trophy buck next fall, the DNR says you're living in the right state.

According to records kept by the Boone and Crockett Club, Wisconsin is the number one state to find a big buck. The club says the number of trophy bucks harvested has risen by 857% over the past 3 decades, and 383 record breaking bucks were harvested from 2006 to 2010.

The club says that's because Wisconsin has good deer range and more refuges, which allow bucks to grow older.

New Hours for DNR

2012-01-06T11:34:00.000-06:00

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says it's expanding counter service hours across the state. Story from the WDNR website.

MADISON – The Department of Natural Resources is beginning to roll out expanded over-the-counter service hours at a number of service centers statewide. When complete later this winter, hours will be increased 40 percent statewide.

Hour changes will be phased in center by center as staff is fully trained and ready to help customers. Please check with the DNR’s Call Center at 1-888-WDNRINFo (1-888-936-7463) or service center pages of the DNR website to confirm when new hours for your local center will start.

“Excellent customer service is a top priority for DNR. Having many of our centers open only two or three days a week made it tough for our customers to know when to come in. These changes assure customers will be able to get help at predictable hours, five days a week,” said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. “By making some internal adjustments, we are able to improve our customer service, and make our knowledgeable, friendly staff more available to help you."

Wisconsin's Whitetail Deer Trustee

2011-11-16T12:27:00.001-06:00

Working to keep up Wisconsin's great hunting tradition - article by Robert Hornacek FOX 11 News

Deer hunting is a billion-dollar-a-year industry in Wisconsin, so there is a lot at stake.

Hunters have expressed a lot of frustration in the last few years about the management of the deer herd. Now, the state has brought in an outsider to review things.

James Kroll is the new deer czar. He's officially called the Whitetail Deer Trustee. He's not your typical wildlife biologist. While he does have an academic background Kroll has spent much of his career communicating directly to hunters. He has his own TV show and has written hundreds of magazine articles.

Myths and Facts about Deer Hunting

2011-11-02T14:33:00.000-05:00

Looking forward to the Deer Gun Season? While you wait for November 19th, here are some facts and myths about deer hunting for you to ponder, in an article by Dennis Anderson bellinghamherald.com

Across the nation, fall brings deer seasons. Here's a look at some assumptions, and mis-assumptions, deer hunters will take with them to their stands.

Myth - A well-placed heart and/or lung shot will drop a deer in its tracks, or shortly thereafter.

Fact - Sometimes yes, oftentimes no. And in cases when a deer shot in the heart or lungs doesn't drop, it can travel much farther than many hunters believe. Moreover, even seriously wounded deer can appear to tracking hunters to bleed more profusely than they actually are.

In one study using beef blood to simulate a bleeding deer, a pool of blood 12 inches across required only 6 ounces of blood to create.

Yet a loss of about 42 ounces of blood is required for a deer to bleed to death, according to Leonard Lee Rue III, author of the encyclopedic "The Deer of North America."

Hudson (WQOW) - When the DNR opened a new bear hunting zone in Hudson, one man took advantage of it, and may have come out with a Wisconsin record. Lon Feia shot a massive bear this week on his property just north of Hudson, but it wasn't easy.

Never did I have any idea that it would be anything like this," says Lon.

Sturgeon Season Starts September 3rd

2011-08-24T11:19:00.003-05:00

A Wisconsin DNR Weekly article

"Excellent" fishing forecast for some waters

MADISON -- Anglers looking for a unique fishing opportunity don't have to look far. The 2011 hook and line season for sturgeon season opens Sept. 3 on about a dozen waters statewide and gives anglers the chance to reel in one of Wisconsin's largest and oldest fish.

The opening date is wrong in the Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations 2011-2012, anglers should note, and Sept. 3 is the correct opening day.

Lake sturgeon can grow to more than 200 pounds and live more than 100 years. The 2011 season marks the fifth year that the minimum length for harvesting sturgeon is set at 60 inches, with a one-fish limit per season. The season runs through Sept. 30, 2011.

There is a catch and release season only on a stretch of the Menominee River downstream from the Hattie Street dam to Green Bay from Sept. 3-30.

Colorful Lures to Catch Bass

2011-08-08T15:47:00.003-05:00

By Ray Sasser The Dallas Morning News from Madison.com

DALLAS -- Walk into any well-equipped tackle shop and you'll find fishing lures in every color of the rainbow. Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, for instance, offers a line of soft plastic lures in 88 color combinations.

They had to make up names for these colors, because the rainbow doesn't have hues like roadkill camo, green pumpkin magic/pearl or ru-berry. Sounds like a palette dreamed up at Woodstock or a Grateful Dead concert.
As one saying goes, "Lures are made to catch the fishermen, not the fish. The fish don't have any money."

Spring Turkey Hunt numbers down

2011-06-14T12:32:00.003-05:00

The prelimary numbers for this year's Spring Turkey Hunt are the lowest since 2002 according to this article By Paul A. Smith of the Journal Sentinel.

Hunters registered a preliminary total of 40,100 turkeys in the 2011 Wisconsin spring hunting season, lowest since 2002.

Although the number may increase slightly as reports are finalized, the season will likely show a drop in harvest of about 15% from 2010, said Sharon Fandel, assistant upland wildlife ecologist with the Department of Natural Resources.

Hunters registered 47,722 turkeys in the 2010 spring season and 52,581 in 2009. The record Wisconsin harvest is 52,880, set in 2008.

The 2011 preliminary total represents the third consecutive drop in harvest and only the fourth year-over-year decrease since the state offered a spring turkey hunt in 1983.

The last five-day period of the 2011 Wisconsin season ended May 22. The DNR made 225,729 permits available for the spring turkey hunt, similar to recent seasons.

Possible Wisconsin Gray Wolf Hunt

2011-05-10T12:42:00.003-05:00

By Ron Seelly Wisconsin State Journal lacrossetribune.com

With the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the verge of removing the gray wolf from endangered status, more calls are being heard in Wisconsin for a hunting season on the once rare animal.

"No question about it," Ed Harvey, chairman of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, said of increasing pressure and support for a wolf hunting season.

Recommendations calling for more control of the state's wolves, now numbering more than 800, and a reduction in the population were approved in all 72 Wisconsin counties by members of the Conservation Congress earlier this spring. The organization advises the state Department of Natural Resources on outdoor sporting issues.

DNR ends "Earn A Buck"

2011-04-28T11:08:00.003-05:00

from jsonline.com

Madison — Out with Earn-A-Buck regulations and the October gun hunt for antlerless deer.

In with unlimited antlerless permits in most of Wisconsin and a plea for hunters to harvest enough deer to bring the population closer to goal.

With a 7-0 vote at its Wednesday meeting, the Natural Resources Board approved a package of hunter-friendly regulations for the 2011 Wisconsin deer hunting seasons.

And in the process, it expressed its fervent wish to kill a deer hunting bill circulating in the Legislature.

The 2011 deer regulations package, proposed by the Department of Natural Resources in response to hunter complaints, includes less aggressive herd control tools than at any point in the last decade.

MADISON -- Eighty-thousand anglers competed in 595 fishing tournaments in Wisconsin in 2010 and reeled in $3.9 million in prize money, according to statistics from the state's fishing tournament permit system.

Larger fishing tournaments have had to get permits since the mid-1990s, but a 2004 law directed the Department of Natural Resources to update rules as tournaments increased. DNR worked with an advisory group to revise the rules to establish limits on the size and number of tournaments on some lakes and rivers to minimize concerns such as crowding, the spread of invasive species, and indirect fish mortality.

Donating Venison

2010-11-05T13:21:00.003-05:00

Are you a lucky hunter who always fills his tags? Is there still meat left in the freezer from last year's hunt? You enjoy spending time in the woods, but don't like the taste of venison? Or maybe you just have a big heart.

Now in its 11th year, Wisconsin Venison Donation Program, along with Hunt for the Hungry and Target Hunger and more than 140 participating meat processors in 65 Wisconsin Counties, are ready to accept and distribute venison donated by hunters. Since 2000, thanks to the many generous hunters, over 3 million pounds of ground venison has been sent to various food banks to help those in need.

Here are some tips from the WI DNR if you'd like to participate:
•Field dress the deer and register it at a Wisconsin DNR registration station prior to donating the deer.
•Call First! Contact one of the participating processors before dropping the deer off to verify the processor has space to accept your deer.
•Deer legally harvested outside the CWD management zone are registered with a silver metal tag. These deer can be dropped off at a participating processor by Jan. 10, 2011.
•Deer harvested in the CWD management zone are registered with a red metal tag. Red-tagged deer can only be donated to a processor participating in the Target Hunger program. Donated red-tagged deer are tested for CWD and only deer that test negative will go out to pantries.
•Donate the entire deer to receive the processing for free. (Head and/or antlers may be removed for mounting.)
•When dropping a deer off at a processor, sign the simple log sheet indicating your desire to donate the deer and the donated deer will be processed and the venison will be distributed to charitable organizations to help feed Wisconsin’s needy.

Lost Islands Returned to Wisconsin

2010-09-01T13:05:00.002-05:00

By Jerome Christenson winonadailynews.com

Sometime in the past 50 years, Wisconsin lost a couple of islands.

Minnesota found them and, like a good neighbor, is giving them back.

The islands are in the Mississippi River just north of Lock and Dam 4, downstream from the marina in Alma, Wis. They are part of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The only people affected by the change in jurisdiction will be those who hunt and trap on the islands, said Mary Stefanski, Winona district manager for the refuge. Wisconsin hunting and trapping regulations will apply this fall, and Wisconsin hunting licenses and stamps will be needed.

Bowfishing in Wisconsin

2010-06-25T11:20:00.004-05:00

By Patrick Durkin madison.com:

Geysers erupted around me like small depth charges as I rowed, probed and maneuvered through Lake Poygan's patchwork of cane beds in the shallows near Boom Bay.

All these watery explosions triggered by spawning carp could mean only one thing: My nephew must be near.

If it's dawn in early June and carp are wallowing in Poygan's shallows, that's where you look for Beau Christensen of Madison. We failed long ago to interest him in walleye fishing or deer hunting, but carp? He's been hounding the big uglies ever since his grandfather got him a used bowfishing rig about 10 years ago.

Gray Wolves In Wisconsin

2010-05-19T14:10:00.002-05:00

As the wolf population continues to grow, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday it is once again asking federal authorities to remove the gray wolf from a list of federal endangered species.
The agency said it has asked the U.S. Department of Interior for permission to reclassify the status of the wolf so state authorities would have more flexibility to
control a burgeoning wolf population.

Hunting in State Parks

2010-04-26T16:00:00.004-05:00

From the Sauk Prairie Eagle: Voters in Sauk County and elsewhere overwhelmingly supported a proposal to allow trapping and hunting in state parks during last week's statewide fish and wildlife rule hearings.

The resolution, which won support in 17 of the 18 counties it was introduced in, still would have to go through a series of hoops before becoming law.

"In the counties it passed in, it passed by quite a large margin," said Kari Lee-Zimmermann of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, who tallied results from the annual rule hearings that took place in all 72 Wisconsin counties.

Wisconsin Whitetail Deer Populations

2009-10-27T12:47:00.000-05:00

From the Wisconsin DNR

Populations determine structure.

“Every year, following the close of hunting, biologists and population ecologists enter data from the hundreds of thousands of registration stubs collected at deer registration stations as a first step in determining future season rules,” said Keith Warnke, Department of Natural Resources deer and bear ecologist

“Registrations provide a massive amount of hunter-supplied data that are a key input to our population estimations, which in turn are the basis of the next year’s hunting season structure. Hunters can get a general idea of population trends in their unit from this map and areas that are below or close to goals. Depending on where you hunt, scouting, teaming up for drives and having a plan B will improve chances of success. As deer numbers approach healthy population goals, fewer deer may be seen in some DMUs compared to when populations were out of balance,” Warnke said.

WI Hunters Disagree on Expanding Next Year's Gun-Deer Hunt

2009-10-23T13:24:00.005-05:00

MADISON (WPR) Deer hunting groups in the state are at odds over a proposal to expand next year’s gun hunting season from nine days to 16. Public hearings are underway.
At issue is how to control the state’s deer herd. The plan in place, until it was suspended this year, required hunters to Earn A Buck by first getting an antlerless deer. The owner of Buck Rub Outfitters in Waukesha is glad it's gone. As a member of the Hunters Rights Coalition, Greg Kazmierski says it took the fun out of hunting. Kazmierski says last year, he shot a doe and for the first time in 40 years of hunting, had regrets shooting a deer. He says the deer population in the area he was hunting was down, but shot the doe anyway because of the threat of Earn A Buck the following year.
Kazmierski served on the committee to find a workable "alternative" to Earn A Buck. That proposal now includes a longer gun season – 16 days instead of 9. And that’s riled up another hunting group.

Whitetail Deer Population in Wisconsin

2009-09-18T06:58:00.001-05:00

Deer Abundance and Densities in Wisconsin Deer Management Units

The Wisconsin DNR annually estimates the size of the population of deer in each deer management unit. Deer population estimates may be expressed in terms of abundance or density. Abundance estimates are the total number of deer estimated for an entire unit. Density can be calculated by dividing the abundance estimate by the area (square miles) within the unit. Density estimates are useful for comparing population estimates among deer management units because they standardize abundance estimates by taking into account the difference in size of deer management units.

Private Property Rights

"Property" is more than just the physical thing—the land, the bricks, the mortar—it is also the sum of all the rights and powers incident to ownership of the physical thing. It is the tangible and the intangible. Property is composed of constituent elements and of these elements the right to use the physical thing to the exclusion of others is the most essential and beneficial. Without this right all other elements would be of little value.' " -- Dickman v. Commissioner, 465 U.S. 330, 336 (1984).

What is a Wetland?

2009-08-03T12:22:00.007-05:00

According to the dictionary, a wetland is a low area where the land is saturated with water, like a bog or a marsh.

But they are more than just wet ground. Wetlands are also some of the most diverse habitats, with both aquatic and land plants and animals. They can be quite beautiful and interesting to explore.

However, finding a wetland may not be as easy as you think. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, “Wetlands are not always obvious. Wisconsin has more than a dozen different types and some may be dry for most or all of the year.”
