Accord Reached on Winter Dam Water Flow Plan
In a dispute over flows from Lac Courte Oreilles Chippewa Indians managed Winter Dam, DNR NSP and Fish and Wildlife Service reached a June 11 agreement. It sets river flow ranges from 250 to 1700 CFS, with seasonal and peaking rules, and grants the tribe limited peaking during high demand amid a $250,000 reimbursement split among the three agencies. About 50 residents attended the briefing amid concerns over low water levels affecting navigation and fishing.

Coyote hunting closed in northern Wisconsin deer season
The Natural Resources Board approved a nine day coyote hunting closure in the states northern third during the deer gun season to protect timber wolves. Wildlife officials backed the move after a wolf was accidentally shot last deer season, while the Wisconsin Conservation Congress urged a narrower plan focusing on deer management units with known wolf populations and a buffer zone. DNA officials noted hunting does not curb coyote numbers and the department trimmed the proposal by removing several management units in western and eastern Wisconsin.

DNA use of chemicals to kill brush questioned
A Wisconsin DNR official defended herbicide use on 15 000 acres of prairie chicken range in Adams Portage and Wood counties claiming it is a temporary step toward eliminating chemical use. He argued brush removal enables crop rotation and preserves habitat for about 4 000 prairie chickens, while residents pressed for a nonchemical approach. The board supported a reduced chemical plan, yes to temporary use, and backed restrictions on spring dog training to protect wildlife, with further study on woodchucks.
