Wolves are not "harvested," they are shot and killed. No one eats them and they are not a vegetable. The continued use of this ridiculous euphemism must stop. If you can't call it what it is, don't do it.
17:41 I’m a freshman and even I know the Milky Way was not discovered in Wisconsin it was discovered in 1610 by a astronomer Galileo based in Pisa,Italy
Amy..All Solution Specialist. I have amazing plans that really costs nothing to create and start, and the process of starting being documented is part of the reason federal funding will be poured to WNRB because it can be adopted by other states but wont need funding to other states then You all just receive the funding because the documenting (videos ,promotions and broadcasting) and them wanting to test out new plans i have. FYI Foreign Affairs policy people knocked on my door in 2015 and all paid 3 day trip to chicago WEFEC. Over $25k trip. And i had dinner with 10 Iranian billionaire Oil Tycoons who said "Water is the new Oil". Together We can accomplish what you all think is not possible. Amy j. Dummann. I am the best world talent that is way under utilized .
i agree it is an awesome place. i have deer hunted there. sad tho that i dont get to use my drone in cylon. the state obviously does since they used one to shoot large parts of this video.
Hi there, we don't have any video of this but we do have some photos if you'd like to reach out to DNRPress@wisconsin.gov, as we can't post them here. Folks should not intentionally approach a bear den for their own safety and to minimize disturbance to the animal. Instead, take a GPS location from a safe distance (~30 yards) and a photo. For landowners, we generally give the following instructions/guidance • Speak quietly, silence phones and try to avoid bringing loud vehicles while within 50 yards of the den to minimize stress on the animals • DO NOT intentionally bring dogs within 50 yards of the den • Quick photo is fine, but do not loiter or gather near the den unnecessarily; particularly for over 5 or 10 minutes (please reach out to a Wisconsin DNR biologist if this is not possible and you have safety concerns; i.e., the bear denned beneath your back porch) • DO NOT attempt to “poke the sleeping bear” or make any physical contact
Potentially. Using animals as habitat management tools is determined on a case-by-case basis based on master and site planning. Using goats may or may not happen in the future depending on individual site goals and management objectives.
There's lots and lots and lots of bears. Remember just several years ago when the Village of Grantsburg was being terrorized by them? I hope so. DNR had to authorized an over the counter tag system to knock down the population so residents could continue normal lives.
43:40 I found out about this webinar, the day after. Maybe next time do a short video, and post it the day prior to reach your audience that is subbed..? Good talk, but was hoping to hear about opportunities of installing new public shooting ranges. Plenty of DNR owned land in LaCrosse county, but it's all posted "no target shooting".
Thank you for your feedback. We did a variety of things to promote this webinar including news releases and social media posts. Our next one is next week (Nov. 2 at 7 p.m.) to talk about who can teach us to hunt.
Hello! Well, I hope it works. Dane County is in deep trouble currently with Starkweather Creek being polluted from the Dane County Airport, and the Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field. There seems to be a trial of mitigation of PFAS out there too on the Truax Field property. Is this really a fix, or just propaganda to make Dane County, and the Wisconsin Air National Guard look good to Madison and Dane County residents who drink well water from the Truax Field aquifers that comes via Madison wells? Thanks for your truthful work.
There are currently no federal regulations for PFAS. However, some states, including Wisconsin, have created their own regulations for PFAS in drinking water. Those thresholds are set by the Wisconsin State Legislature.
32:09 wish they'd monitor the "ag tags" better. There's a land owner who owns a bunch of land by where I hunt and has big food plots but complains of "winter damage" even though he doesn't realize the deer move north to the older woods after getting pushed so hard in rifle season.
Thank you for your comment. If you believe a violation has been committed, we'd encourage you to report it via our hotline directly - dnr.wi.gov/contact/hotline.html. The DNR Hotline can take information via phone 24 hrs a day x 365 days. Text messages and emails are monitored from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. daily. Thank you for helping to protect Wisconsin’s natural resources and the people who enjoy those resources.
Why do the hunters on the board always want metrics on predators and how they affect other species but don't want that information on deer? The deer population in Wisconsin is at an all time high at an estimated population of 1.6 million. How many car accidents result from deer collisions each year (around 4k?)? What's the cost on those accidents (since the average cost repair is $4k i assume a total of $16 million per year?)? How many people injured (around 500?)? How many people killed (8?)? What's the agricultural cost each year from deer (over $750k?) ? What kind of impact are the deer having on the forest and themselves being over populated (smaller body size? Increased chances of CWD or other diseases? Loss of primary browse for all species?)? It appears that deer cause more damage, injuries and deaths in 1 year than predators do in 10 years. Perhaps we need to reduce the deer herd a bit. Or perhaps we need more predators to help us control the deer herd. Let's get these statistics out there on the next video.
I am not sure why the CWD policy is applied in so many counties. Why not hyper focus 4 different strategies in high count CWD counties such as Dane, Iowa, Richland and Sauk to determine best outcomes before applying the same policy across so many low count counties? I wonder how many deer will die due to starvation and cold with such a brutal winter due to not be able to provide feed. Why not add keratinase to feed to actually have the reverse effect on CWD? This enzyme has been scientifically shown to eliminate prions in mad cow and scrapie prions in sheep. A single approach of not feeding and sharp shooting infected deer is one model, why not pilot other strategies in other high CWD counties?
