The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will consider recommendations for 2023 wild turkey hunting seasons at its Aug. 31 meeting at Fort Robinson State Park.

The meeting begins at 8 a.m. Mountain time at the park’s Buffalo Barracks, 3200 U.S. 20, Crawford.

The proposed changes to orders for the 2023 turkey season are:

The commissioners also will consider recommendations for a 2023 bighorn sheep hunting season. The orders recommend authorizing one lottery and one auction permit. The season would be Nov. 28-Dec. 22.

In addition, commissioners will draw the winner for the 2022 bighorn sheep lottery permit.

AUBURN, Ala. – Kelly Dunning, a researcher and professor in Auburn University’s College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment, is exploring the varied policy responses to chronic wasting disease, or CWD, among states through the Lone Mountain Fellowship at the Property and Environment Research Center in Bozeman, Montana.

CWD is spreading across the U.S. in free-ranging white-tailed deer, moose and elk herds. Dunning believes its arrival in a herd could cause a backlash among hunters, causing negative impacts on hunting license sales, funding for conservation, outdoor heritage and traditions and rural community livelihoods and well-being.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant attention on zoonotic diseases that can transmit from wildlife to humans,” said Dunning. “It is uncertain whether CWD can be transmitted in this way, but the consequences for the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation would be dire.”

According to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is one of the world’s most successful systems of policies and laws to restore and safeguard fish and wildlife and their habitats through sound science and active management.

Given the high stakes nature of the CWD issue, researchers are beginning to study public knowledge and perception of CWD, including the actions hunters may take that could endanger conservation.

Long-term support is helping Pheasants Forever establish quality grasslands in SD

The South Dakota Department of Tourism has renewed their national sponsorship with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever through 2023 in support of the organization’s landscape-level habitat initiatives which support South Dakota’s status as “The World’s Pheasant Capital.” Through this partnership, the Department markets to the largest collection of upland hunters in the nation, while providing direct monetary support to Pheasants Forever’s mission of habitat conservation.

“Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are thrilled to renew our longstanding partnership with the South Dakota Department of Tourism,” said Chris Kalis, Pheasants Forever’s director of corporate partnerships. “Exciting prospects lie ahead for Pheasants Forever in South Dakota — we couldn’t be more pleased to have the support of the Department of Tourism as we look forward to building our extensive habitat initiatives in the pheasant capital.”

The South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks estimates show pheasant hunting generated $246 million in economic impacts for the state in 2021. Those revenues are the result of 54,411 resident and 75,606 non-resident pheasant hunters purchasing licenses, fuel, food and lodging during the state’s season. Habitat is considered the critical factor for maintaining long-term pheasant populations in the state, which are looking to rebound after a dry summer in 2021. The notion of habitat’s importance is emphasized by the South Dakota Department of Tourism with their overarching support of Pheasants Forever – funding which impacts habitat programs on the local level, including the Community-Based Habitat Access Program, South Dakota CREP enrollments, and other programs.

“Pheasant hunting is a critical part of the tourism economy in South Dakota.  In fact, it is a lifeline for many small businesses in our state.  Our strong partnership with Pheasants Forever allows our department to reach thousands of potential hunters and share our incredible hunting and outdoor experiences with them,” said James Hagen, Secretary of the Department of Tourism. “Our partnership also allows us to continue to put a solid spotlight on the importance of preserving and expanding habitat so pheasant hunting can continue to be a staple of our economy and way of life for generations to come.”

Whether you’re driving a decked-out dog hauling rig or crating Rover in the backseat of your sedan, traveling with dogs is a process. Here are some tips and recommendations from two hunters and trainers who spend a lot of time on the road with their dogs.

AL ARTHUR: KING OF THE ROAD (SANDHILL RETRIEVERS)

If anyone understands how to travel successfully with sporting dogs, it’s Al Arthur. He’s been training dogs his entire life, working with several industry leaders along the way and winning the National Field Trial Championship twice, once in 2015 and his second in 2020. Arthur is currently ranked among the top three US Open Handlers and travels around the country with up to 24 dogs at a time to hunt and compete.

“Our dogs travel from Georgia to Vermont and Michigan each year, and every week we are leaving to go to a competition somewhere in the United States,” he says. “Our dogs probably travel 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year.”

Arthur stresses the importance of food, water, comfort, and plenty of stops when it comes to traveling with dogs.

Total populations were estimated at 34.2 million

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) today released its report on 2022 Waterfowl Population Status, based on surveys conducted in May and early June by FWS, Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) and other partners.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the last FWS duck breeding population survey was released in 2019.

Total populations were estimated at 34.2 million breeding ducks in the traditional survey area, 12 percent lower than 2019’s estimate of 38.9 million and 4 percent below the long-term average (since 1955).

“Although the beneficial effects of timely precipitation during late winter and spring were evident by high pond counts across the eastern prairies, the total duck estimate in the Traditional Survey Area was the lowest in nearly 20 years,” said DU Chief Scientist Dr. Steve Adair. “The drop in duck numbers reflects the consequences of low production caused by multiple years of prairie drought, including 2021, which was one of the most severe and widespread in nearly 4 decades. But the survey revealed some bright spots for duck populations and provided optimism for good production this summer and carry-over of favorable pond conditions into fall and winter.” 

More than 300 million pounds of flexible plastic packaging is created in North America by the companion pet industry each year, impacting around 67% of households that own pets across the United States. Unfortunately, 99% of multi-laminate packaging used for most pet food and treats currently used in North America does not have a sustainable end-of-life solution. While other industries like food and beverage are advancing quickly toward scalable sustainable solutions, the pet industry has faced challenges.

On August 23 in Las Vegas, five leading pet food brands will step outside of the competitive business mindset to change the future of packaging for the better. Leaders from Canidae, Earth Animal, Instinct, Petcurean, and Primal Pet Food will publically sign-on to the Pet Sustainability Coalition’s Packaging Pledge, a new program that helps companies meet voluntary, public, and time-bound sustainable packaging commitments. The PSC Packaging Pledge is in direct alignment with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, thereby increasing participation from the pet industry to move toward recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging by the year 2025.

The PSC Packaging Pledge builds from the momentum of additional sustainable packaging successes led by the Pet Sustainability Coalition, including Flex Forward, a return-to-retail pilot program that collected over 8,000 lbs of post-consumer packaging for recycling trials and was completed in 2022. Testing trials in Flex Forward resulted in a better understanding of the challenges presented by the current composition of most pet food packaging. These challenges include non-standard design practices, a wide variation of packaging types and forms of plastics used, various multi-material closures and windows, metallic layers, wide color assortments, and more.

While packaging ranks among the top three most important sustainability issues facing the pet industry, the majority of pet companies rely on part-time staff, inadequate tools, resources, and support to advance their packaging toward more sustainable outcomes. Starting in 2018, the Pet Sustainability Coalition became the first organization to unify the industry toward defined solutions including increasing the use of recyclable mono-material packaging, recommending the use of clear consumer labeling, testing end-of-life possibilities and retail collections. Today, the PSC Packaging Pledge will provide a long-term pathway to sustainable packaging including tools, a marketplace, and technical support for brands to feasibly meet this public commitment. Recent feasibility studies suggest that with collaborative effort from pet food manufacturers and currently existing technologies to move toward recyclable, refillable and compostable packaging – the pet industry can achieve rapid adoption by 2025 and near 80% transition of all pet food multi-laminate packaging by 2030.

The PSC Packaging Pledge has been constructed in consultation with a large number of industry experts, including the U.S. Plastics Pact, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Closed Loop Partners, The Recycling Partnership, World Wildlife Fund (W.W.F.),The Association of Plastic Recyclers (A.P.R.), and more. The groundbreaking program is made possible through generous donations by Earth Animal, Tyler Packaging, and Thanh Phu.

May pond counts are 4% above the long-term average, which should lead to good duck production and a strong fall flight

BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA — After being cancelled for the previous two years by concerns over COVID-19, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Canadian Wildlife Service were able to conduct the annual Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey this spring. The results were released today in USFWS 2022 Waterfowl Status Report.

The survey, which is used to set hunting regulations throughout North America, put the total spring breeding population index at 34.2 million ducks, which is 4% below the long-term average and 12% below the 2019 index. Importantly, the May pond count, a key indicator of duck production potential, showed 5.45 million ponds, which is 4% above the long-term average and 9% above the 2019 index.

“Given the widespread dry conditions last year across most of the prairies where ducks breed, it’s not surprising that the breeding population number is lower than it had been throughout most of the 2010s,” said Dr. Chris Nicolai, waterfowl scientist for Delta Waterfowl. “The good news is that much of the prairie — especially the Dakotas, Manitoba, and eastern Saskatchewan — was really wet this spring. Duck production should be good to excellent across the eastern part of the prairie and in the northern areas, too.”

Duck production is typically high the first year following a drought, said Dr. Frank Rohwer, Delta’s president and chief scientist.

We chose the Sentinel 4K NVR Security System for our home security needs and after looking at all of the options, I knew we made the right choice. The options for home security systems seem to be endless, find out why I am happy we chose this system for our home. The clarity and options offered by the Defender Sentinel 4K Ultra Wired NVR Security System are more than enough for our home security and our needs. 

When choosing a wired security system, I spent a lot of time on research to find the best system for our needs. This led me down some interesting roads. It has also prevented me from buying items that just don’t fit for our needs. Regarding a home security system, my research led me right to the Defender 4K Sentinel NVR Security System.

I knew that I wanted a wired home security system with at least four 4K Home Surveillance Cameras. I could have had more cameras, but it would have been overkill for our home. Defender sells this same Sentinel system with 8 cameras if you feel that you need more security camera coverage. Our home is just over 80 years old, so choosing the system upfront with a plan was important because we would have to install cameras on the brick. I wanted the wires hidden and secured so it could not be taken down.

DVR vs NVR vs Wireless Security

When looking at a security system you have basically three options out there on the market. Wireless, battery-operated cameras seem to be getting all the buzz these days. You install them and every other month you need to pull them down to charge them. The problem with these cameras is that extreme cold and extreme heat will deplete the batteries more quickly. As well, you have to use a ladder to get them down and reinstall them and while they are charging, they are not working.  What happens if you need your cameras while they are charging?

EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The NWTF is helping fund a new wild turkey research project that will utilize state-of-the-art technologies to study diseases at a cellular level, informing the overall understanding of disease ecology and helping guide future wild turkey management.

Lymphoproliferative disease virus, or LPDV for short, is well-known amongst researchers and wildlife managers, as it is not uncommon for wild turkeys and various other land-dwelling birds to be infected. LPDV was first documented in a wild turkey in Arkansas in 2009 and has since been detected in wild turkeys in at least 29 states.

Some infected birds form tumors in their internal organs and skin and may exhibit many other side effects, like weakness and lethargy, while some infected birds display no noticeable clinical signs but experience more insidious effects, such as decreased immune system health. Though the disease can be detrimental to individual birds, less is known about its effect on a population level.

“Our primary objective is to determine where and to what extent LPDV is distributed throughout the body of infected wild turkeys, including comparison among turkeys that have no evident disease, those that have mild disease and those that have severe, fatal disease, such as those with multi-organ lymphoid tumors,” said Nicole Nemeth, D.V.M, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Georgia. “This will be accomplished through the adaptation of an existing, advanced diagnostic tool for LPDV and for a similar, tumor-causing virus that also circulates in wild turkeys, reticuloendotheliosis [REV] virus.”

The team will examine LPDV and other diseases within cells and tissues of wild turkeys and assess patterns of how the diseases spread and how they manifest in a variety of circumstances.
