What's New?
Michigan’s woods are beginning to stir this spring — and so is the science behind wild turkey management. This year, wildlife science in the state is getting a major boost. For the first time in Michigan history, researchers are launching a long-term, large-scale study of wild turkey populations.
There’s something about early spring tournaments in Northern Indiana as you never quite know what you’re going to get. Between the weather, water conditions, and how fast things can change this time of year, every decision feels magnified.

Coyotes Likin’ Urban Living
- Details
By Louie Stout
Coyotes Likin’ Urban LivingOsceola trapper Chuck Powell recalls a phone call he got from a landowner this fall.
“The man has a bunch of barn cats he feeds and was beginning to find their dead carcasses and suspected it was the work of coyotes,” Powell said. “And so did I.”
The professional trapper had removed six of the wild canines from the same property the year before.
This time, he trapped and removed 11 over a two-week period in early October.
Indeed, coyotes are thriving in northern Indiana. And while many people assume they’re strictly creatures of the wild, that’s hardly the case. Powell says there are more coyotes living in and near our urban areas than most people realize.
Michigan Lowers Non-Resident Fees for 2015
- Details
The Michigan DNR announced that a discount of just over 10 percent has been approved for non-resident annual fishing licenses for 2015.
The cost of the non-resident annual fishing license will go from $76 to $68 starting on March 1.
The decision came during yesterday's meeting of the Natural Resources Commission.
Michigan's fishing license options originally were restructured March 1, 2014. Since that time a review of feedback from customers, local businesses and others suggested substantial merit in discounting the annual fishing license fee charged to non-residents. In response to those concerns the DNR has discounted the price.
"Discounting the non-resident annual fishing license will encourage more out-of-state visitors to come and experience Michigan's world-class fisheries - and the many other outstanding recreational opportunities available in this state," said DNR Director Keith Creagh.
