Fight continues against yellow bass in some of Iowa’s lakes

Featured, Fishing, Iowa, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Want to start an argument? Ask a group of people what their thoughts are concerning yellow bass in Iowa lakes.
Some people are huge proponents and enjoy their fight, their willingness to bite and their table fare. Others believe they can ruin a fishery, become overpopulated and stunted, while at the same time squeezing out other game fish by outcompeting native fish for food sources.

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, New York, Opinion /

Deer hunters were more likely to be swayed by social media messages about the potential risks of chronic wasting disease if they came from a source they believed aligned with their own views and values, according to a new study.
Chronic wasting disease – a neurological disease that fatally infects white-tailed deer, elk and moose – has been eradicated from New York state, but reintroduction from other affected states remains a constant threat.

Blogs, Featured, Fishing, New York, Opinion /

Fishing is great in New York State! If you are an avid angler, you know that is a very true statement. These natural resources, sometimes assisted with the help of state hatcheries, are all managed by the Bureau of Fisheries, which fall under the umbrella of the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation.
To highlight the state agency, the Greater Niagara Fishing Expo will once again be holding a DEC Open House on Feb. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to feature the state’s fisheries and introduce the biologists and managers that get the job done to the public.

Pennsylvania Reader Stories: Bowhunter wonders if there’s a watered down rut

Featured, Hunting, Pennsylvania /

It was about 10 years ago when my daughter Natalie got tired of my assertions (whining) that the only time I saw bucks was when I was fall turkey hunting.
So, she surprised me with a bow as a gift and convinced me to give archery a try. Well, being in my late 50s and a confirmed “gun guy,” I was a bit hesitant but figured that what matters is being in the fall woods and not what I had in my hands.
