In this episode of the award-winning "Wildtalk" podcast, we talk to Heather Shaw, wildlife biologist with the DNR’s Shingleton Management Unit, and Tom Seablom, the DNR’s western U.P. district forest manager, about habitat work on GEMS – grouse enhanced management sites – in the Upper Peninsula, fly away with a discussion about the ruffed grouse and wrap up the episode with a chat about the eastern and least chipmunk.
Pete Kailing, senior wildlife biologist in the southwestern Lower Peninsula, also stops in to talk about hunting and trapping opportunities available in August, including the application period for reserved waterfowl hunts in DNR-managed waterfowl areas, timing for bear baiting by management unit, and early crow season, which runs through Sept. 30.
