Wisconsin: State’s elk herd growing slowly Courtesy of Wisconsin Outdoor NewsClam Lake, Wis. - Wisconsin now has at least 168 elk, 16 years after the 2005 reintroduction of 25 Michigan elk to the wild landscape of Ashland, Sawyer, and Bayfield counties. The largest the herd has ever been was this spring when it totaled about 176 animals following the calving season. Of the 22 new calves, at least 13 (or 59 percent) had died by the end of September. Last year the herd grew by 16 percent, but the previous year it saw no growth. Most of the loss so far this year has been due to predators, including four to wolves and three to bears. One calf died due to accidental drowning, and a few were born underweight and didn't survive. Read more HERE | Leave a COMMENT and enter the DSORe drawing for this POLL. | |||||||||

 Work proceeding on Wisconsin beaver management plan updateWebinar presentation to be held >> October 25 << MADISON – After receiving a moderate level of participation at a series of informational meetings last month, members of the Wisconsin Beaver Task Force will now be conducting an online “webinar” to further gather input prior to revising the state beaver management plan.Beaver management meetings were held in La Crosse, Oshkosh, Rhinelander and Hayward over the past two weeks. “Citizens, landowners, educators, trappers and anglers were noteworthy contributors at these gatherings, and although attendance was moderate, participants were sincere and gave us thoughtful comments and good suggestions,” said Debbie Beyer, University of Wisconsin-Extension regional natural resources educator who facilitated the meetings. Shawn Rossler, assistant furbearer specialist for the Department of Natural Resources, is collecting and recording citizen input on the beaver management plan revision. With the initial set of meetings now complete, the task force plans to conduct an online webinar, where members of the Task Force will give summary presentations of their programs followed by a question and answer segment. People interested can pre-register for the online presentations and participate from their own computers right from their own home Wisconsin Beaver Management: Past, Present, and Future. The webinar will begin at 6 p.m. Oct. 25, with short presentations on various aspects of beaver management through 7 p.m. Participants may submit questions through a chat feature during the webinar. Questions will be addressed for up to 30 minutes after presentations are complete. In addition, the task force is setting up a beaver management website where an online beaver management survey will be posted so anyone with interest can provide comments and suggestions. "This is an effort to gather information and public comments as we work to update Wisconsin's beaver management plan," said John Olson, DNR furbearer ecologist. "We hope to hear how citizens view beaver, beaver management and those issues and concerns important to them involving beaver, including: damage control, wild rice management, wetland ecosystems, water quality, trout management, roads, disease, forest impacts and agriculture."
