Dean Bortz: A close look inside Wisconsin’s ruffed grouse, pheasant surveys
Published: , in Outdoor News
A press release last week from the Wisconsin DNR on ruffed grouse and pheasant spring survey results took me back a few (as in many) years to the days when wildlife researchers such as Keith McCaffery, Bill Creed (we can thank Creed’s field work for the state winning the contested bobcat portion of the Chippewa treaty rights case), Mike Gappa, Bruce Kohn, and Larry Gregg worked for the DNR in northern Wisconsin.
I met up with that cadre of researchers and others when I started working for The Lakeland Times, of Minocqua, as the newspaper’s sports and outdoors editor in 1986.
