Commentary: Many Ohio fish species adjust routines during spring spawning urges

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio, Opinion /

As St. Patrick and Mother Nature begin rolling out the green, runners of all types will take to sidewalks, dash along in organized races, down park trails, and through the rivers and streams to help launch spring’s rebirth.
Rivers, you say? Wouldn’t that be called swimming and not running? Yes, I did – and it ends up being both.

Ohio Insider: Would you take part in an antlerless-only hunt during a deer season?

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /

We covered a lot of ground in rounding up the numbers on the recently completed 2023-2024 deer season in the last edition of Ohio Outdoor News.
But, there was one item left over from that discussion that I wanted to delve into a bit further. That being the notion that the state, in order to reach its antlerless deer take goal, needs to implement some type of antlerless-only season within the overall season.

Notes off a soiled cuff: A merger of Pennsylvania’s Game, Fish & Boat commissions possible?

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Seven or eight years ago – after decades of trying – I decided to stop attempting to convince readers and leaders that the Game and Fish & Boat commissions should be merged, because having separate agencies is wasteful and expensive.
Pennsylvania is the only state in the country to manage fish, wildlife and natural resources this way – and the redundancies and inefficiencies are obvious – but since the Game Commission started raking in millions of dollars in shale gas receipts from beneath state game lands, it has seemed like a frivolous argument to make.

Star Watch: Finding brilliant and colorful details of the Orion Nebula

Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

Located just below Orion’s belt in the familiar constellation named by the ancient Greeks is a region of dust and gas where stars are forming. It falls within a grouping of stars often referred to as the “sword” of Orion.
NASA tells us this feature, known as the Orion Nebula, is 1,500 light-years away but is still the closest, large star-forming region to Earth.
