John Muir said that in every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks. I believe that’s true. Sometimes, getting a behind-the-scenes look at how hard state agencies work to provide an enjoyable outdoor experience for sportsmen can be particularly eye-opening, too.
I recently had a unique opportunity to visit and tour the Albert Powell Trout Hatchery in our neighboring state of Maryland.

There’s more to crows than you might think

Blogs, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, Opinion / Mike Raykovicz

What would mornings be around New York without the sound of crows? I don’t know about you but I enjoy hearing their raucous calls because it reminds me of wild things. Crows are usually associated with rural areas but they can and do live almost everywhere.

Sportsmen just want to be left alone, but that’s not how this works

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, New York, Opinion / Dan Ladd

Those of us who hunt, fish and trap, by nature, are a passive bunch. We just want to go sit in a treestand, hit our favorite trout stream or bass pond, and be left alone for a while. It’s where – luck, or no luck – we do our thinking, perhaps solve our problems, and simply become one not only with nature, but with ourselves.

When you’re practicing catch and release, it’s important to consider fish mortality, and a common cause is a hook wound. If a hook damages gills or internal organs, the damage can be fatal for fish.

Could antler point restrictions be the answer for a more balanced deer herd in parts of Minnesota?

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting / Eric Morken

For decades, Minnesota DNR surveys have shown that many hunters want change, but there’s little agreement on regulations to increase the number of older bucks. The result continues to be a deer population that lacks a balanced age and sex structure in many parts of the state.
Could a state like Missouri, with a similar number of hunters and a gun season that, like Minnesota, falls during its peak breeding period, be a model for how a limited antler point restriction could do something to improve the balance of that age and sex structure in areas where CWD is not present?
