A Cowlitz County domestic flock tested positive for bird flu last week, and state officials urge precaution ahead of what they believe will be a surge in cases in the fall.

Bird owners should expect to continue extra “biosecurity measures” — such as preventing contact with wild birds — through the fall, Washington state veterinarian Dr. Amber Itle said in a news release.

“The fall avian migration is starting, meaning we’re likely to see more bird flu cases throughout the state again,” she said.

In anticipation of the increase, the Washington State Department of Agriculture…

RALEIGH — The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission voted at its business meeting on Aug. 18 to adopt an emergency amendment to restrict the use of some natural deer attractants/scents in the Primary and Secondary Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Areas.

The Wildlife Commission’s emergency rule builds off the General Assembly’s Session Law 2021-176 that took effect on Dec. 1, 2021 which defines the attractants/scents that may be used while hunting statewide. The session law stipulates that possession or use of substances containing a cervid excretion, including feces, urine, blood, gland oil, or other bodily fluid for the purposes of taking or attempting to take, attract, or scout wildlife are prohibited. However, the following substances may be used:

No Changes to Small Game Hunting Season Despite Avian Flu Outbreak

(Photo via Gov NL.)

The provincial Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture is not planning to alter the small game hunting season in light of the current outbreak of deadly avian flu.

The department says to date, they have seen no evidence that avian flu has affected local populations of grouse or ptarmigan, and the risk to human health remains low.

While no changes to the small game hunting season are anticipated, the department says it is continuing to monitor the situation closely and will be sharing information on precautions for the hunting and handling of birds where avian flu may be present.

In the meantime, information for all wild bird hunters is available on the federal government’s

Hunting and Trapping Now Permitted on Sundays

(Photo via Gov NL Moose Management Plan 2022-2026.)

Starting this hunting season, hunters will now be allowed to hunt or trap on Sundays.

The change comes with the opening of the big game bow-hunting season today. The big game rifle-hunting season doesn’t open until Saturday, September 10.

The idea of Sunday hunting has sparked controversy in the past, with some hunters heavily in favour, while other outdoor enthusiasts, including berry-pickers, expressing strong reservations.

Meanwhile, the province has introduced some changes toMoose Management Area maps, which now show moose densities in recently surveyed areas and current population information.

Successful hunters are reminded to drop off big game jawbones at one of more than 50 locations across the province.

Sept. 1 is the official beginning of the 2022-23 hunting season. Both geese and squirrel open this coming Thursday. That is where the similarity of the two species ends. Squirrels are basically a woodland critter and geese move around a lot in their lifetime. Geese can be found on water, fields, yards and even golf courses. Pretty much anywhere there are geese one can find them close to, or on, water.

I am crazy about goose hunting. There’s something about how receptive these birds are to my goose calls. Plus, hanging out with friends and family in a freshly cut field — hunting and scouting new ground really — makes chasing geese a great way to spend September.

Now don’t get me wrong. I love spring…

HELENA—The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted new wolf hunting regulations at its meeting this week in Helena, with new special consideration for the hunting of wolves near Yellowstone National Park.

On Thursday, the Commission voted to do away with the state’s 18 current Wolf Management Units (WMU). This coming hunting season wolves will now be managed in seven regional trapping units and one WMU. The new WMU 313 is a combination of the old WMU 313 and 316, both of which border the north side of Yellowstone.
