Pennsylvania fish stocking notice is overdue, deserves angler support

It’s a natural fact that dates back to the first bands of early humans. We do not like rules. A lot of anglers and organizations already know about the Notice of Stocking regulation adopted last month by the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, but a lot don’t.

National shooting matches at Ohio’s Camp Perry go high-tech

Steve Cooper shuffled his feet across the thick, course field of grass, also looking down and across the massive field of green that helps make up the world’s second-largest outdoor shooting range.

“This year is mostly a story about the drought and kind of how resilient the forest is,” Tri said. “Generally speaking, we’re in good shape this year.”

That bass helped “the Cowboy” claim his second victory of his rookie season on the Elite Series with a four-day total of 91 pounds, 8 ounces, outlasting Oklahoma’s Luke Palmer by 1 pound, 2 ounces.
