Effort is on to raise $200,000 to restore dam on Michigan’s Cornwall Creek Flooding

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Michigan’s Cornwall Creek Flooding, scheduled last summer to be drawn down and the dam removed, has a chance to survive. But it’s going to take financial support from the public to save it.
Cornwall Creek Flooding covers 167 acres. It rests in the middle of the fabled 110,000-acre Pigeon River Country State Forest, the largest block of continuous public land in the Lower Peninsula.

Ohio’s deer harvest tops 203,000 as 2023-24 season nears its end

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

It’s nearly over for Ohio’s 2023-24 deer-hunting season, save for the last of the confetti dribbling down from tree stands and tossed out of field blinds.

With the conclusion of the four-day statewide muzzleloader deer season on Jan. 9, hunters added 12,712 animals, bringing the to-date total to 203,608 antlerless and antlered deer. Thus, about 95% of all the deer expected to be killed are already tallied, the venison stored in freezers and antlered racks at taxidermy studios.

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, News, Pennsylvania /

Tournament bass anglers and tournament organizers in Pennsylvania are upset about rule changes at Raystown Lake for 2024 that sharply reduce hours when events can occur.
A Jan. 16 news release from the Baltimore District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers asked fishing tournament directors to schedule the start and end times of their tournaments outside of peak capacity weekend hours, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays, between Memorial Day and Labor Day holiday weekends, “when first-come, first-served boating traffic is heaviest.”

Jeremiah Haas: Recent cold and snow in Illinois a reminder of nature’s resiliency

Featured, Hunting, Illinois, National Hunting, Opinion /

As I sit here, it is the last day of the Illinois bow season, my deer summer sausage and sticks supplies are already running low, and I’m looking out the window at the worst weather conditions we have seen in several years.
While I was hoping for a quick doe hunt this weekend, the smarter half of me knows the season is over.
