Notes off a soiled cuff: Many show up to make their voices heard at Pennsylvania Game Commission meeting

Featured, Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Long-time Pennsylvania Game Commission watchers think the 62 people who testified at the Jan. 27 meeting is an all-time record.
During the height of the “deer wars” in the early 2000s, there were meeting crowds larger than the close to 200 who packed the agency’s Harrisburg’s auditorium and lobby Jan. 27, but never before did that many speak. Twenty-six of them – mostly zoo officials, trappers, conservation organization members and avowed animal protectionists – said they supported reintroduction of the pine marten.

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Minnesota, Opinion /

Ready, set, legislate. Because the 2024 session of the Minnesota Legislature began Monday, we’ll offer first a primer on delving deeper into any particular piece of proposed legislation that piques your interest – because it could vastly improve your life afield, because it stands to terminate the existence of the outdoors as you know it, or, somewhere in between.

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

While it’s true deer more readily will come to baits strategically placed for CWD-related targeted culling during a severe winter, DNR officials say efforts thus far during a moderately cold season are meeting expectations. That’s in part because the use of bait sites isn’t the only option deployed by those shooting whitetails in specific locations in Minnesota.

The Minnesota legislative session kicked off Monday, Feb. 12, at the State Capitol in St. Paul. As the session started, there were several bills introduced for further discussion by committees, and many of them applied to natural resources, the environment, or hunting and fishing.
One bill that hasn’t been introduced but is anticipated to come shortly focuses on native rough fish. The Minnesota DNR worked with experts and stakeholders to develop the Native Fish Conservation Report that it completed in December 2023.

Deer population concerns rising on Ohio’s South Bass Island in Lake Erie

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

In 1999, the first white-tailed deer in some time arrived on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. The young doe was so tame that she would approach people and follow vehicles during daylight hours.
When Put-in-Bay, Ohio, Mayor John Blatt held a naming contest, she was dubbed “Millie” – short for Millennium, the milestone event that was on the mind of many that year.
