St. Joseph County Parks will continue the deer management program at Spicer Lake Nature Preserve in New Carlisle this November.
Spicer Lake consists of 320 acres, much of which is wetland. The uniqueness of the kettle hole lake habitat harbors a number of threatened plant and animal species. Evie Kirkwood, County Parks Director, says that park staff has noted a decrease in key indicator plant species such as trillium and sweet cicely correlating to an increase in the white-tailed deer population.
The deer management hunt will take place on November 17 and 18, 2012. To emphasize deer population reduction, the management program will be an antlerless hunt.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Following more than a year of consultation with angler groups and other stakeholders, the Lake Michigan Committee (LMC) has proposed a new management strategy for Lake Michigan salmon.
Beginning in spring of 2013, the LMC recommends that Chinook salmon stocking in Lake Michigan be reduced to one-half of current stocking levels.
Under the proposed agreement, the 3.3 million Chinook salmon annually stocked into Lake Michigan would be reduced by 1.6 million fish, for a total of 1.7 million fish to be stocked. Michigan would shoulder the largest reduction, stocking 1.1 million fewer fish, since Michigan streams currently contribute the majority of the natural reproduction. Wisconsin would reduce its stocking by 440,000 fish, while Illinois and Indiana would reduce by 20,000 and 25,000 fish, respectively. The CORA tribes do not stock Chinook salmon.
