I taught myself to fly fish while in high school and have continued the sport since. One of those learning waters was Little Beaver Creek in Columbiana County, Ohio. Known for its ability to swamp canoes and hide trophy smallmouths, it was one of my favorite haunts.

Ohio’s spring turkey season is now in the books, so it’s time to put a bow on this year’s hunt.
As usual, I contacted Mark Wiley, the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s (DOW) lead turkey biologist, to get the rundown on the season from the DOW’s perspective. The resident turkey permit success rate was 26.5% of all those resident hunters who purchased a permit. That compares to 20.9% in 2022 and 18.9% in 2021.
During 2022, the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) set a new participation record when more than 3,500 young shooters competed in the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Scholastic Action shooting Program (SASP) National Championships.
