Mark Nale: Open Fields Doctrine is important for the protection of Pennsylvania’s wildlife

Blogs, Featured, Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

When I read the reader commentary in the Dec. 22 issue of Pennsylvania Outdoor News, I thought, “Wow – this guy makes sense.”
Wayne Bush of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania, was commenting about two Clearfield County hunting clubs’ efforts to circumvent the “Open Fields Doctrine,” — a law that allows law enforcement officers, including game wardens, access to undeveloped private property. The clubs lost in court and then appealed the ruling.

Ryan Rothstein: Set goals to make next deer season your best

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

I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions, mainly because if making them were something I cared about, I’d have done it by now.
Even when it comes to deer hunting, I generally don’t have much that comes to mind in terms of a “resolution.” But this year, after a real gut-check of a deer season in 2023, I felt compelled to make a list of things I’d like to accomplish in 2024. If you feel like you’re in a deer-hunting rut, I’d encourage you to aim for some of these yourself, or make your own list of goals.

Pennsylvania gets grant for wildlife crossings

Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

Pennsylvania has received federal funds aimed at reducing the number of deadly wildlife-vehicle collisions on commonwealth roadways while improving connectivity for terrestrial and aquatic species.
An $840,000 grant from the Federal Highway Administration’s Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program will be used to strategically plan for the construction of corridors that deer and other species can use to safely move across roads.

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, National Fishing, National Hunting, New York /

If you are busy in the outdoors during the early days of the new year, good for you. For many, however, January begins a slow period, with much of their leisure time spent indoors. It is a time to look forward to upcoming months and activities and a chance to look back on the year that just passed.
In those moments of contemplation, here is something to toss around in your head: What was the best hunting day and the best fishing day you ever experienced?

When beagles are chasing bunnies, it’s a great day afield

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

The cottontail was running at a leisurely pace down the farm lane. I was on public land, and soon the chase would begin.
Mr. Rabbit was going to find out that he needed to get going a bit more quickly real soon, but it hadn’t dawned on him yet. The three beagles we put down 15 minutes earlier were cold-trailing him.
