Notes off a soiled cuff: Thoughts on proposed raid on Pennsylvania’s Game Fund

Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Ironically, the idea to raid the Game Fund to help resolve the state’s budget impasse may have been given to state senators by the leader of the Game Commission.
A few months ago, when the commission’s Executive Director Bryan Burhans was giving the commission’s annual report to the Senate Game and Fisheries Committee, he stressed the great fiscal position the agency enjoys. That caught the attention of the panel’s chairman, Sen. Greg Rothman, R-Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry.

Ohio turkey research study well underway

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

The Ohio DNR (ODNR) Division of Wildlife and Ohio State University are partnering to conduct a multiyear study on the survival and nest success of female wild turkeys.
Ohio’s wild turkey abundance is thought to have peaked around 2001 and has fluctuated since then. Adult hen survival, nest success rates, and poult survival play a role in population levels. From 2017 to 2019, below-average hatches of turkey poults resulted in a decrease in wild turkey abundance. Hatches in 2021 and 2022 were above average.
