Just in time for fishing season, Governor Scott Walker recently
announced that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has
updated its Pocket Ranger® mobile app to include fishing and
watchable wildlife information, as well as a Sunrise-Sunset
calculator.
“One of the best parts about spending time in Wisconsin’s great
outdoors is winding down, without all of the technology, but this
new app will actually add to your experience,” Governor Walker
said. “The free Wisconsin Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife Pocket
Ranger® app now includes great information for fishermen and women
that you can access right from your fishing hole or boat to help
you reel in the ultimate catch.”
Along with the hunting information released last fall, the
upgraded Wisconsin Pocket Ranger® now offers mobile access to:
- fishing news;
- fishing basics;
- lake information;
- access information;
- regulations; and
- fish identification.
Also included in the spring 2014 Wisconsin Pocket Ranger® update
is information on common watchable wildlife in Wisconsin. Users can
find basic identification of the most common birds, mammals,
dragonflies, frogs, lizards, mussels, salamanders, snakes, and
turtles that they might encounter while hunting and fishing across
the state. The Sunrise-Sunset calculator helps hunters check for
legal hunting times and the regulations for any day.
The initial launch of the app in November 2013 focused on
providing hunters with the tools to make it even easier to connect
with each other and the DNR for a safe and successful hunt.
Since its launch last November, more than 18,000 people have
downloaded the Wisconsin Pocket Ranger® to their Apple or Android
mobile devices. It is available on iTunes and Android Market by
searching “Wisconsin Pocket Ranger” from your Apple or Android
mobile device. You can also find more information by visiting
dnr.wi.gov, search keyword “mobile apps.”
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources collaborated with
Wisconsin Interactive Network and ParksByNature™ to create this app
free for the public.
