Minnesota Reader Stories: Restoring grandfather’s duck decoys conjure memories of past hunts

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

Many years ago, my grandpa took me aside at duck camp and handed me a few old and beat-up foam Herter’s diver decoys.
“These rode the waves many times, with me and your great grandpa hunting over them. Now, they’re yours,” he told me.
Years passed, and I bought a few more Herter’s decoys online here and there. But they collected dust in a barn until last winter. That’s when I decided to refurbish them.

Vin T. Sparano: Incorporate the fine art of dead-sticking into your fishing tactics

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, New York /

I have an important message and a confession to make to all fishermen who fish with natural baits: I love dead-sticking.

The Mosquito Creek Sportsmen Club, in Clearfield County, Pa., recently finished its 33rd annual coyote hunt. For the first time in hunt history, the top three entries all weighed over 50 pounds.
With thousands of coyotes entered over the 32 previous hunts, only 10 topped 50 pounds. Mosquito Creek holds the largest and longest-running coyote contest in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania’s ATV trail connector extension gets mixed reviews

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will continue to operate a controversial ATV Regional Trail Connector in state forests in the Northern Tier at least through the 2025 riding season, expanding a pilot program that ended last year.
While it is welcome news to thousands of ATV enthusiasts who have purchased passes to use the trail connector, the program gets a thumbs-down from environmentalists who say it poses a threat to the health and peaceful ambiance of the forests.
