The art of winging it: Here’s what to target when a new deer-hunting trip presents itself

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

Those who know me would tell you I have a bad habit of floating wherever the wind takes me when it comes to deer hunting. There’s a running joke that if you need anything from me in the fall, you’d better get it prior to November, because I completely disappear off the grid once the calendar turns from October.
Apart from getting me in hot water with my better half, it often results in me winding up in new places I’ve never been and having no idea where or how deer move on a property.

Two Clearfield County hunting clubs that recently lost a warrantless search lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Game Commission and one of its game wardens have vowed to appeal their case to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania in late September ruled against the Punxsutawney Hunting Club and the Pitch Pine Hunting Club, which asserted in a suit filed in 2021 that the commission and warden Mark Gritzer repeatedly violated their private property rights with warrantless searches.

Just one lure to save your life: What would you choose?

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Illinois, National Fishing /

I was once fishing for muskies with Spence Petros when he showed me a rod he had rigged up with an 8-inch Lindy Tiger Tube. It’s a soft plastic lure that has a huge treble hook molded inside the bait. The end of the lure has a bunch of soft wiggly tentacles that attract fish.
He laid the rod with the Tiger Tube down and said to pick it up and flip the tube into the water if I saw a muskie following one of our presentations to the boat. He said the Tiger Tube was the best throw-back bait any muskie fisherman could possibly use.

Nobody Asked Me, But…: Quick-hit thoughts on New York’s outdoor issues

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, New York, Opinion /

…From personal observations, the effects of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) in my part of the state really took a toll on the whitetail population two years ago, and the deer herd does not seem to be recovering quickly. I hope the DEC has not over-allotted Deer Management Permits for the affected Wildlife Management Units.

What’s the difference between a water scorpion and an aquatic sow bug?
About 300 fifth-graders can answer that question after attending the annual Waupaca County Conservation Field Day in Wisconsin.

The Stevens Point-based council serves Waupaca, Portage, Outagamie, Waushara, Marathon, Taylor, Adams, Juneau, Monroe, Green Lake, Marquette, Columbia, and Juneau counties to protect Wisconsin’s natural resources.

Though it’s still a little ways off, Ohio’s deer hunters are already gearing up for the week-long firearms season after Thanksgiving.
This year’s firearms week for deer is Nov. 27 through Dec. 3. Another weekend of gun hunting will be offered on Dec. 16-17.
So far, temperatures have been dropping across the Buckeye State, which has been a boon for bowhunters.
