Corps uses pigs to deter seagulls at Soo Canal
U S Army Corps of Engineers at Sault Ste. Marie Michigan says two hogs will share the gulls habitat near the Locks to disrupt diving birds. Engineer James Bray notes the plan edges out a Michigan wildlife department suggestion for mechanical noisemakers as the birds threaten workers safety and may carry disease. Gulls, protected by law, have resisted prior evictions using accoons and foxes over about a century. Nearby farmers proposed hogs hoping to deter the birds.

Wisconsin set to reach deer harvest peak this fall
Wisconsin DNR and the Wisconsin Conservation Congress agreed on a higher deer kill target for the coming fall. A plan to issue about 165000 hunter's choice permits aims for a 94000 deer kill, compared with 126000 permits and 72000 deer last year. The move follows a rising deer population and increasing crop damage complaints, with the Natural Resources Board to finalize permit levels later this month.
