The Michigan Natural Resources Commission expanded the Core Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Area to include 17 townships. This area, which will continue to be referred to as Deer Management Unit (DMU) 333, now will consist of Lansing, Meridian, Williamstown, Delhi, Alaiedon and Wheatfield townships in Ingham County; DeWitt, Bath, Watertown, Eagle, Westphalia, Riley, Olive and Victor townships in Clinton County; Woodhull Township in Shiawassee County, and Oneida and Delta townships in Eaton County.
The CWD Management Zone also has expanded; it now will include the remainder of Clinton, Eaton, Ingham and Shiawassee counties, as well as all of Ionia County. The expanded Management Zone will be referred to as DMU 419.
"With the detection of CWD-positive deer in the southern part of Clinton County, we need to better understand the magnitude of the disease in those areas," said Chad Stewart, Department of Natural Resources deer specialist. "Expanding our surveillance to include those areas is key at this point, and we need help from landowners and hunters within the expanded zone to help us with this effort."
It's Never Too Late to Fish
It was a special Fathers Day for the Barnbrook family.
Its been a couple of years since Jim and Timm had their dad in the boat. Back problems kept him landlocked.
Thatll happen when youre 90 years old.
But a few weeks ago when Michigan offered a free fishing weekend, Don Barnbrook was feeling a lot better. Jim, age 66, and Timm, age 64, put dad in their boat at Donnell Lake near Vandalia and treated him to a day of pike fishing.
It went so well, they bought him a fishing license on Fathers Day and took him back to Donnell where they have a cottage.
We didnt catch much that day but its OK, said Jim. We had a good day on the water.
