It’s a tiny insect, only about 1.5 millimeters, or about 0.04 inches long.
But the impact of the hemlock woolly adelgid, an invasive species native to Asia, on hemlock trees in New York and elsewhere has been devastating. The state Department of Environmental Conservation, in partnership with Cornell University’s NYS Hemlock Initiative and other agencies, is using nature to fight back against the voracious bug.

Buffalo Lake in Wright County is located just off the fast-moving traffic of State Highway 55 and within the city limits of its namesake, Buffalo. Its in-town location and its proximity to the Twin Cities and St. Cloud areas makes this 1,552-acre lake quite popular with anglers.
As the big rooster rose from the prairie grass, I was navigating lumpy ground created by a herd of cattle that had grazed here during a wet year. Cattle make a mess of pheasant habitat for a hunter. But we have to hunt that ground, clumps and all.
As I raised my gun that day to take my shot, my foot slid off the hummock. I launched a terrible shot and watched as my ring-necked, long-tailed prize rooster sailed away. After that, I thought about why good footwork would have given me a much better chance of hitting that pheasant.

You might assume state hunters were happy they shot a deer every other second during November’s nine-day gun season.
You’re wrong, of course. Hunters registered 85,773 bucks and 89,123 antlerless deer during the gun season, which offered about 10 hours of legal shooting daily. The season lasts 90 hours, or 5,400 minutes, or 324,000 seconds. So, yes, to kill those 174,896 deer during the Nov. 18-26 season, hunters shot just over a half-deer (0.54) per second.

What a strange 2023 bowhunting season it was for this hunter!
I reviewed my logbook for the fall deer-hunting season, which revealed that I was in various stands and ground blinds a total of 32 evenings from the September opener through mid-December. I managed to harvest two antlerless deer with my bow, but never had a quality chance for a buck the entire season.
