MADISON – The October issue of Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine invites readers to be vocal about what’s important to them.
The cover story, When gaggles meet giggles, takes a look at a goose banding operation at Horicon Marsh that is highly dependant on volunteer determination. Data collected from bands of harvested geese help state and federal agencies set hunting seasons and daily harvest limits.
October Wisconsin Natural Resources
A feature, Let’s talk hunting, invites readers to engage in a dialogue about one of Wisconsin’s greatest traditions. Hunters and nonhunters alike need to put aside their differences to ensure that the public has the opportunity to not only hunt and fish, but to hike and watch wildlife. Find out if the term “eco redneck” fits you. A companion feature, Locavore, meet hunter, shows how hunter recruitment is taking a new turn to connect young adults with the source of their food.
A gift that spawns Great Lakes fisheries follows the legacy of Bayfield pioneer R.D. Pike. A founding father of the City of Bayfield, Pike gave his family homestead containing rare coastal wetlands along the shoreline of Lake Superior and his private fish hatchery on Pikes Creek to the State of Wisconsin.
Wildness incarnate documents the sandhill crane conservation success story. Photos show the cranes engaged in a courtship ritual, painting their feathers to camouflage themselves and gathering in staging areas by the several thousand. Link to a video of cranes dancing and hear a podcast of their calls.
Paying attention to composition is key advice for taking excellent photos in the field. Hunting for outdoor photo hints challenges photographers to fill the frame and get out and practice.
