Peshtigo
Marinette County - Deer activity is excellent with bucks chasing does according to archery hunters although this is a late start for the season and bucks may be coming out of rut by next week. Check the deer hunting regulations regarding blaze orange on ground blinds on state lands. Ground blinds constructed of deadfall from the area are not included in this new rule. Whitefish are spawning in the Lower Menominee River. Water temperatures are again on their way down.

Oconto County - Brown trout are in the Lower Oconto River in the city along with limited walleye. Hunters who completed a Hunter Safety Course this year are eligible for a free antlerless tag that is good in any unit statewide. The tags can be picked up at DNR Service Centers only.

Door County
Peninsula State Park - Peninsula will again hold its annual black powder deer hunt November 22-30. About three-quarters of the park is open to hunting, and most back roads will be closed to vehicles. Non-hunters may still gain access to the lighthouse, Eagle Tower, sections of the Sunset Bike trail and may drive though the park. All mountain bike trails will be closed to biking at this time. Trails currently are open and in very good condition. This is a great time to view migrating waterfowl along the western shore of the park (Green Bay). There are no limits to what you could see! Only the Tennison Bay campground remains open. Water systems are shut down, though a central drinking water supply is provided.

Whitefish Dunes State Park - The color season has ended and once again the park getting ready for snow and skiing. All the trail signs and maps have been changed over to winter layout and the park staff is waiting for the first good snow fall to groom the trails. Volunteer crews and staff have spent the last two weeks preparing the trails for skiing. Migrating waterfowl have been seen feeding off the rocky shoreline and resting on the beach. Quiet day hiking the woods revile hidden treasures such as lady ferns, princess pines, and club mosses. A quiet hiker can see deer on the move or encounter rough grouse. Park staff suggests hiking the Brachiopod Trail or the Green Trail for diversity in habitats and wildlife. The Brachiopod Trail was recently resurfaced with the help from the Friends of Whitefish Dunes volunteers and a local foundation grant. Keep an eye out for new spring additions on this and other trails. Dog are welcome but must remain on a leash 8 feet or less. Dog owners are reminded to be responsible pet owners and pick up after their pets. Pets are not allowed on groomed ski trails. Please respect our volunteer groomers’ time by hiking the beach or Black Trail to enjoy the park with your pet.

Oshkosh
Slow presentations are proving successful for walleye fishers on the Wolf River. Anglers in the Fremont area are using jigs and minnows. Deer hunters are gearing up for opening day of the 2008 regular gun deer season on Saturday. The season dates are Nov 22 -30, and there is some snow forecasted in the Oshkosh area. Hunters in Earn a Buck or Herd Control Units may purchase extra antlerless permits for $2 each at any license sales location. Hunters can help feed hungry people in the area by donating their registered, field dressed deer. Remember to call ahead to verify processor's have space to accept the deer. Trapping season is in full swing. This is made quite evident by trap markers found along the Wolf River. A fair number of fisher have been brought in. The predicted price increase for fur has increased trapping numbers this year. Nice-sized flocks of tundra swans were found at Collins Marsh Wildlife Area this week. Duck numbers appear to be down. Some have already come through the area. Hunters are still looking forward to late season mallard and goose hunting opportunities.

Wautoma
Deer are still being difficult to find. Many are being seen on trail cameras at night and not in the daytime. This should bode well for the gun hunters as more people in the outdoors should be moving these deer around. Looking for a good gun deer harvest in Waushara County. Swans are moving through signaling the end of waterfowl hunting. A few area shallow lakes have frozen over.
