Several potential areas for possible stocking of moose in Michigan's Upper Peninsula have been selected based on habitat suitability, current deer populations, previous moose occurrence, and human populations. In order to assess the incidence of brain or meningeal worm (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) in wintering deer herds in these areas, a surveys was undertaken in the spring of 1982 in the Upper Peninsula. A total of 157 deer pellet groups were collected and analyzed for brainworm. One-hundred and nineteen of the 157 pellet groups were positive for P. tenuis, indicating a 76% prevalence.

Report on the results of the 1999-2000 Bobcat Survey. In order to allow the export of bobcat (Felis rufus) pelts under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service compiles data on the harvest and status of bobcats. This documentation is necessary to verify the stability of bobcat populations to allow for their continued harvest and the exportation of pelts.

Extensive logging in the 1800's and subsequent fires plus heavy trapping through the 1920's led to the extirpation of the fisher (Martes pennanti) from its former range in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.). Fisher were reintroduced in the 1960's on the U.P.'s Ottawa National Forest. Fisher have become sufficiently abundant in Baraga, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, and Ontonagon counties to allow the Department of Natural Resources to permit a limited harvest. This was the first legal trapping season for this species in over 50 years and resulted in a harvest of 93 fisher.
