Camp Grayling Permit Application Awaits Review by Department of Natural Resources

Leave a comment
camp grayling expansion denied
Submitted from Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC)

The Michigan Army National Guard has just submitted a land use permit application regarding Camp Grayling military training to the Department of Natural Resources for review.

In April of 2023, the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) proposed a 20-year lease of over 160,000 acres of state forest land. After multiple community input sessions and a lengthy review, the DNR rejected this proposal.

Most lands within the proposed 160,000-acre lease violated buffer zones, or land ineligible for lease for other reasons. The remaining 52,000 acres that fell outside of these excluded areas could be eligible for military training activities on a short-term basis.

Grizzly Bear Euthanized Due to Cattle Depredation in Washakie County

Leave a comment

A grizzly bear was euthanized Monday after confirmed cattle depredation on private land south of Ten Sleep. On April 14, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department investigated a report of an injured cow with wounds consistent with a grizzly bear depredation. Wildlife managers verified nearby tracks and signs that suggested the bear frequented the ranch for approximately one week. The subadult, male grizzly bear was euthanized after consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service due to its involvement in depredation and its behavior frequenting the ranch.

The location of the conflict was in the basin of the Bighorn Mountains and more than 80 miles from the eastern boundary of what is known as the Demographic Monitoring Area — the area considered biologically and socially suitable for grizzly bears. Grizzly bears have not been documented in this area south of the Bighorn Mountains since long before the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem population was listed under the Endangered Species Act in the 1970s.

“Wyoming’s grizzly bear population is managed and monitored where suitable habitat exists as designated by the USFWS and informed by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team,” said Game and Fish Director Brian Nesvik. “The Bighorn Mountain Range is not suitable habitat and the department is not interested in allowing grizzly bears to occupy this area. Their expansion into unsuitable habitat leads to increased conflict potential between bears and humans, which impedes the success of grizzly bear conservation.”

Grizzly bears in the lower 48 states are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Management authority for grizzly bears rests with the USFWS. Game and Fish handles nearly all grizzly bear conflicts and conducts significant levels of monitoring, research and public education in accordance with the department’s Grizzly Bear Management Plan.

Turkey Hunting Safety Tips

Leave a comment

Hunting safely during spring turkey hunting seasons is easy if you follow tips below.

With the opening of spring turkey hunting, it is highly recommended for hunters to consider these safety tips:

  • Never shoot unless you are absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it. Look for a beard as only turkeys with beards are legal during the spring season.
  • Never stalk a gobbling turkey. Your chances of getting close are poor, and you may be sneaking up on another hunter.
  • Avoid red, white, blue, or black in clothing and equipment. A tom turkey’s head has similar colors.
  • Stick with hen calls. A gobbler call might draw in other hunters.
  • Avoid unnecessary movement. This alerts turkeys and attracts hunters.
  • Don’t hide so well that you impair your field of vision.
  • Wrap your turkey in blaze orange for the hike back to your vehicle.
  • Always sit with your back against a tree trunk, big log or a boulder that is wider than your body. This protects you from being accidentally struck by pellets fired from behind you.
  • Place decoys on the far side of a tree trunk or a rock. This prevents you from being directly in the line of fire should another hunter mistakenly shoot at your decoy.
  • Wear hunter orange while moving from set-up to set-up. Take it off when you are in position.
  • If you see another hunter, call out to them, but don’t move until they respond. You may ruin the hunt, but you may have avoided injury.
  • Make sure you know your effective range when shooting. For the most clean and ethical shot, make sure your shotgun is patterned and you are shooting within your effective range.
