The Lakeland Times joined us on August 22 for our Deer Behavior program! Participants learned fascinating facts about white-tailed deer, including how their age can be determined by examining their jawbones. It was a great afternoon of learning more about one of the Northwoods’ most iconic animals!

Thank you to Curt Rollman for sharing his expertise at Saturday’s Deer program at the Chalet. Curt covered a wide range of topics, from deer habitat to hunting in Wisconsin. We took a short video showing deer jaws aged from a young fawn to over 12 years old. Listen for the average ages mentioned. (See video in the comments)

The weather was perfect for folks to drive and hike up to the top of Squirrel Hill to see the new Tower House and to take in the majestic view of the Northwoods.

We had record attendance on Sunday August 16th, with nearly 80 people joining us to learn about wolf perspectives, perceptions, and ecology. There wasn’t an empty seat in the room. Thank you to Dave Slezewski for an informative program. When asked what they learned, participants shared several interesting takeaways: “I didn’t know wolves ate fish or blueberries.” “I was surprised to hear how low pup survival rates are and how many wolves die of starvation.” “I thought wolf packs were larger here in Wisconsin, but I learned a pack is only two to five wolves.”

Below is a short clip showing some wolf pups vocalizing and the audience reaction.
