Wisconsin Outdoor Report

June 7, 2018

The past week brought some rain and cooler temperatures, but the coming week looks a bit warmer. With the recent rain many river systems especially in the north are running above average. The lower Wisconsin River is running about normal and many sandbars have finally returned. Campgrounds are getting busier, and canoers and kayakers are active on rivers.

Fewer anglers were out across the state this past week in part due to the cooler air temperatures, rain and high winds. White bass on the Wolf River did not make a significant run this year and anglers were having a difficult time catching them with any consistency.

Some anglers were catching crappie, northern pike, rock bass, smallmouth bass, catfish and walleye on the Menominee and Oconto rivers. On Green Bay anglers saw consistent success at the start of the week with many walleyes harvested out of Geano Beach, the Green Bay Metro launch and Bayshore Park.

Along Door County the Sawyer Harbor ramp was crowded over the weekend with near shore water temperatures reaching up to 70 degrees. Bass fishing has been increasingly getting better. Many anglers were catching fish at Little Sturgeon Bay and Stone Quarry. The warm weather last weekend had the male smallmouth up in the shallows and making beds but the cold front that hit mid-week cooled the water and caused those fish to move back out.

Lake Michigan fishing was mixed. A few parties came back to Algoma with chinook and lake trout. The chinook action picked up at Two Rivers with multiple fish being caught over 25 pounds this week. Anglers fishing out of Sheboygan and Port Washington were having luck catching chinook and coho salmon along with the occasional lake and rainbow trout. Cooler temperatures and 15-20 mph winds limited some boaters from going too far on Lake Michigan out of Milwaukee. When weather calmed down, anglers targeting coho and chinook salmon continue to reach their limits landing fish.

Grouse are drumming in the Northwoods. Black bear sows with up to three cubs are being spotted with cubs starting to go through growing spurts. Elk cows have been making calf scouting moves, looking for a safe and quiet area to have their calves. Many have calved already and many deer fawns are being seen. Remember fawns are left alone for long periods but are not abandoned. If you see one back away and leave it be.

In the forest wetlands, the spring peepers have quieted down somewhat, but now the toads, tree frogs, green frogs and bullfrogs contribute to the nighttime symphony. Turtles nesting season is in full swing. If you see a turtle trying to cross a road, feel free to assist it on its journey, if you can do so safely.

Bird migration is beginning to slow down. Summer residents have settled in for the nesting season, and we are beginning to see young hatching. Families of Canadian geese are being seen all over. Pairs of sandhill cranes with colts are also being seen. Loon chicks are hatching. A number of both glossy and white-faced ibis have been seen on Horicon Marsh, along with black-necked stilt, godwit, white-rumped sandpipers and other shorebirds.

Some of the spring woodland wildflowers are still in bloom but fading fast. Trillium and yellow bellwort still color the forest floor but are now joined by wood phlox, wild geranium, spiderwort, jack-in-the-pulpit, and wild columbine. Raspberries and blackberries are almost ready to bloom, but aren’t there quite yet. Another plant has also made an appearance so watch out for poison ivy!

Elk / First managed elk hunt in Wisconsin history
« on: March 14, 2018, 04:57:21 PM »
First managed elk hunt in Wisconsin history is result of over 22 years of conservation efforts by DNR staff and partners
Published by Central Office March 13, 2018

Contact(s): Kevin Wallenfang, DNR deer and elk ecologist, 608-206-1107; Bob Nack, DNR big game section chief, 608-264-6137

MADISON -- Following more than 22 years of elk management and reintroduction efforts, 2018 will mark Wisconsin's first managed elk hunt in state history.
"This is an incredible conservation success story for Wisconsin," said Department of Natural Resources Secretary Dan Meyer. "Thanks to the efforts of so many great organizations and individuals, the northern elk herd has continued to grow to the point where we can offer this very special and long-awaited hunting opportunity."

Following more than 22 years of elk management and reintroduction efforts, 2018 will mark Wisconsin's first managed elk hunt in state history.

The area of the planned hunt is within the Clam Lake elk range of Sawyer, Bayfield, Ashland, and Price counties in far north-central Wisconsin. Original restoration efforts occurred within this range with the release of 25 elk from Michigan in 1995. This northern herd is projected to reach a population level of over 200 animals this year, including a high proportion of bulls.

"It is important to note that the areas where Kentucky elk were released in Jackson County and the Flambeau River State Forest will not be included in this hunt," said Kevin Wallenfang, DNR deer and elk ecologist. "This hunt concentrates on elk born here in Wisconsin over the past two decades - we do not wish to take Kentucky elk, many of which are cows and may not be harvested."

Ten tags will be made available for a bull-only hunt in Fall 2018. Four tags will be awarded to Wisconsin residents through a random drawing. One additional tag will be awarded to a Wisconsin resident through a raffle conducted by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Consistent with federal court rulings, the elk harvest quota is being shared equitably with the six Wisconsin Chippewa tribes.

"We look forward to the opportunity for Chippewa members and state hunters to have a harvest season" stated Chris McGeshick, Chairman of the Sokaogon Chippewa Community. "We continue to support this effort and look forward to seeing the herd grow, and sustaining future harvest opportunities for our state."

Interested hunters can apply, however, only Wisconsin residents are eligible to purchase an elk tag. The application fee is $10 and applications will be available starting May 1 through the Go WILD system at GoWild.wi.gov. Prior to receiving their carcass tag, all drawing winners will be required to complete an elk hunter education course prior to the start of the season," Wallenfang says. "Revenue from the elk tag application process will provide important funds to support elk habitat management, research and monitoring here in Wisconsin as the herd continues to grow."

The elk harvest quota for 2018 was determined by the department's Elk Advisory Committee, which, in addition to DNR biologists and researchers, includes representation from the following:
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation;
Wisconsin Wildlife Federation;
Jackson County Forest and Parks;
Wisconsin Conservation Congress;
U.S. Forest Service;
Wisconsin Bowhunters Association;
Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission;
U.W. Stevens Point, and
Ho-Chunk Nation.

"Our volunteers and members have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and a hunt will show the success of the reintroduction effort to a lot of people," said Kurt Flack, Regional Director for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, which has invested over $1.6 million dollars on elk reintroduction and other conservation efforts in Wisconsin. "We are excited to play a role in the hunt and continue to raise money for Wisconsin elk management."

Flack said that the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation elk tag raffle tickets are expected to be available for purchase by May. Those interested in purchasing raffle tickets may do so by going to RMEF.org/Wisconsin (exit DNR).
Wisconsin's inaugural elk hunting season will adhere to the following guidelines:
season will be open from October 13 to November 11, 2018 and December 13-21, 2018;
only bull elk may be harvested;
Areas where Kentucky elk were released between 2015-2017 will be off limits to hunting until the population increases to levels identified in the elk management plan;
only Wisconsin residents are eligible to receive a harvest tag; and
harvest tags may be transferred to a Wisconsin resident youth hunter 17 years or younger.

Translocation efforts will continue in 2019 through partnership with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources

Wisconsin DNR has one year remaining in an agreement with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to bring additional elk to Wisconsin - July 2017 marked the third year of the partnership and additional elk are planned to be released in the Flambeau River State Forest in 2019.

CWD-Positive Deer Found on Washington County Farm

Release Date: March 8, 2018

Media Contact: Bill Cosh, Communications Director, 608-224-5020, William2.Cosh@wi.gov


MADISON - A white-tailed deer from a breeding farm in Washington County has tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD), Wisconsin State Veterinarian Dr. Paul McGraw announced today. The National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, confirmed the test results.

The buck was born on the 15-acre farm in May 2015. It was part of a herd of 58 whitetails, along with 13 elk, according to the owner's most recent registration. The owner found it dead from injuries apparently sustained in a fight. The deer had previously appeared healthy. It was sampled in accordance with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) rules, which require testing of farm-raised deer and elk when they die or are killed.

The farm has been enrolled in the CWD Herd Status Program since 2003. All deer from herds enrolled in the CWD Herd Status Program must be tested for CWD if they die or are killed on the farm.

The farm has been quarantined, an automatic action upon a positive CWD test, which stops movement of deer off the premises. DATCP's Animal Health Division will investigate the animal's history and trace movements of deer onto and off the farm to determine whether other herds may have been exposed to the CWD-positive deer.

Post your Whitetail Pictures HERE / Carter John Benson First Deer
« on: October 11, 2017, 11:22:05 AM »
My Grandson 10 year old Carter harvested his first Deer this last weekend, how proud we are of him. It just doesn't seem possible that he is old enough to take a deer this year, but he did it in grand style. He shot a very nice doe on Sat. evening and an 8 point Buck Sun. Great job Carter!
