DNR employees place a blindfold over a captured elk's eyes as part of a capture operation for the DNR's four-year research project to evaluate the movement patterns, population characteristics and health of elk near Atlanta in Montmorency County. A helicopter was used to drive the elk into open areas, where an individual animal could be captured in a net fired from a special net gun. Once ensnared, the elk was subdued by field researchers, and then fitted with radio collars, provided a field checkup for basic health signs and given an antibiotic shot. Scientists also took hair, blood and fecal samples. The operation captured 20 bulls and 20 cows, achieving its capture goal.

Lake trout fingerlings sorted by size in different holding tanks as part of the adipose fin clipping AutoFish system at the Marquette State Fish Hatchery. The DNR's Fish Production Section produces and delivers fish of the correct species, strain (a genetic type of a specific species), size, date and location as directed by Fisheries Division Management Unit staff.
