Upper Peninsula Lawmaker Announces Effort To Implement Wolf Hunting Season | Radioresultsnetwork.com

State Rep. Dave Prestin, R-Cedar River, on Wednesday released the following statement after announcing his plan to require the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to implement a wolf hunt within 90 days of the Gray Wolf being delisted from the federal Endangered Species Act.

Congress is currently considering legislation to delist the Gray Wolf, returning management authority to the states.

“Upper Peninsula families and sportsmen have watched wolf numbers explode while our deer and moose populations take a severe beating. Whitetails that once filled our woods are being hammered hard in the Upper Peninsula. Moose numbers continue to struggle under relentless predation. This is not sustainable for our herds, our hunters, or our rural communities.

“My plan ensures that once Congress delists the wolves, Michigan will not waste time. The DNR will have a strict 90-day window to get a science-based wolf hunt up and running. This will help restore balance to our forests, protect our big game populations, keep our deer camps full, support local economies that rely on hunting, and reduce livestock losses and pet attacks that are becoming far too common.

“Upper Peninsula residents know this land best. It’s time we stop letting Washington dictate how we manage our own wildlife. The U.P. deserves healthy, huntable populations of whitetail deer and moose for our children and grandchildren.”

Pittsburgh Community Mourns the Sudden Loss of Twin Eaglets on Popular Nest Cam

Despite the fact that the Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States, it’s not all that common to see them in the wild if you live in the US, depending on what state you happen to be in. But that’s where technology comes in.

For nearly 15 years, the PixCams live stream of the Bald Eagles who live in the Glen Hazel area of Pittsburgh has allowed people to tune in to a feed of the birds, especially recently, when the community was enthralled by a pair of twin eaglets who were born on the feed. Sadly, their story has now come to an absolutely heartbreaking ending.

As multiple outlets, including CBS Pittsburgh, have reported, earlier this week, both of the baby eagles have died after livestream viewers have watched them suffering for days over the feed, hoping that they’d both be able to recover and thrive.

And even though Carol Holmgren, the director of the Tamarack Wildlife Center, wanted to help these eagles, a federal policy prevents humans from intervening in an eagle’s nest if what is happening is from natural causes, which was the case with these eaglets.

On Sunday, one of the baby eagles died, while their twin died on Monday morning.

Holmgren said it was the moderators of the eagle cam who first noticed that something was wrong, leading to the first eaglet deaths in the history of the stream. Their mama eagle has been showing signs of illness, too, which is sad beyond words, especially since she was the first eagle to nest in the area in 150 years.

How Officials Say These Eaglets Died

It’s not clear exactly how the Glen Hazel eaglets died just yet, but it does appear to be from an illness of some kind, possibly even the bird flu.

“The signs that we’ve been seeing from the eaglets and the disease progression, the illness progression are all totally consistent with avian influenza,” Holmgren told CBS News.

She shared that bird flu has been spiking in Pennsylvania, and it’s likely that the eaglets were eating geese who were infected, which then made them infected.

There is one glimmer of hope at the end of this story, though: The eaglets’ dad is doing just fine, and their mama is starting to improve, and is “demonstrating more vigor and more appetite.”

Fingers crossed that she continues to recover.
