Outdoors Insider, with Dale Sunderlin: On the lookout for lampreys DALE SUNDERLINStar Beacon
Ongoing studies The Commission is committed to delivering a sea lamprey control program that practices good environmental stewardship. To support the continued safe use of lampricides the Commission recently conducted a series of studies at a total cost of $6 million to assess the effects of the lampricides on human health and the environment. In addition to these studies the Commission has implemented a research program to develop alternative control techniques. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada are currently evaluating the release of sterile male sea lampreys as a control measure in the St. Marys River. The Commission also is developing a strategy to increase the number of barriers on sea lamprey-producing streams, and is conducting research into barrier design, traps, attractants, and biological controls. Additional information about sea lampreys and sea lamprey control is available online at www.glfc.org. TTY users may reach the Marquette or Ludington Biological Stations through the Michigan State Relay Service at 1-800-649-3777. (Portions reprinted by permission from the ODOW). Ryan’s Doubleheader Now, both 17-year-old Ryan DiGiacomo and his dad, Mike, are pretty good hunters but this past spring Ryan’s first bird during the Ohio youth weekend just left a lot to be desired, at least story telling wise according to Ryan, but then I’ll let you be the judge of that. ‘Really cool’ After an uneventful morning on the opening day of Ohio Youth Weekend, April 18, Ryan and his dad, Mike, decided to head out for the evening hunt. Maybe they could stir something up or possibly catch a big ol’ gobbler before he went to roost for the evening. On the way out to their setup they just happened to bump a piebald doe. Ryan thought that was “really cool” considering he had never seen anything like that in the wild before. Scrounging area After watching the doe bound off they trudged onward to their evening resting area. They had predetermined that they were going to setup near a wheat field where the birds came to scrounge for bugs before they headed up to roost. Once they arrived, Ryan and Mike placed themselves at the base of some small oak trees at the edge of the field. Decision time
