"WAUSAU, Wis. — Waterways across the upper Midwest are increasingly plagued with ugly, smelly and potentially deadly blue-green algae, bloomed by drought and fertilizer runoffs from farm fields, that's killed dozens of dogs and sickened many people."

Im not a hunter but the article brings up a good point of duck hunting coming up real soon and dogs running in to these lakes/ponds and drinking the water.
