For a 7-year-old’s birthday, some kids want a baseball glove or a toy or a bike. Collin Johnson, of Ogema, Minn. wanted to go fishing and to catch a fish.
But no one would’ve guessed that Collin would not only catch the biggest fish of the weekend, but also that it would be a fish about which even longtime anglers salivate.
Bobcats were the hot topic at the Ohio Bowhunters Association (OBA) annual banquet again this year, held in March at the Cherry Valley Hotel in Newark.
The primary concern is the bobcats’ perceived effect on the wildlife population, especially game animals such as deer and turkeys. The second concern was that the cats are plentiful, yet there is no hunting or trapping season.
Things have changed since boat sales soared during the pandemic and only time will tell what will happen in the boating industry.

The DNR and Conservation Congress will unveil a new concept in public interaction in preparation for the annual spring fish and game hearings with 72 open houses – one in each county – the week of April 3-6.
The idea of offering these open houses for the first time this year came about because the spring fish and game hearings, which would typically take place the second Monday in April – April 10 this year – will once again go virtual-only across a three-day span that will allow citizens to vote on proposed fish and game rule changes, along with voting on Conservation Congress advisory questions.
