The training never ends.
This sentiment is popular in the pro dog-training world, and most bird dog owners would probably agree in principle. After all, it’s kind of like target practice with your favorite hunting bow or rifle: Can you really overdo it? While over-training is a thing with some dogs, most of them are in no danger of working too hard in the summer. Correct? The opposite is true, which is worth acknowledging.

The sudden passing of Oneida County, N.Y., outdoorsman Ryan Rector from a work accident in 2022 left the community of Naples devastated.
The 27-year-old hunter, mentor, fire chief, and business owner was well-known and well-liked, and his untimely passing created a gaping hole in his absence.

Blue-winged olives entice trout to feed all season long on Michigan streams

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

Big fly, big fish. Right?
Well, not always. Sometimes the fish key on the most numerous flies on the water – even if the flies are tiny. And those flies the fish are keying on are likely to be blue-winged olives.
The olives are a group of small mayflies with greenish-hued bodies and smoky-blue wings. The flies run in size anywhere from about a size 14 clear down to almost microscopic. Anglers can see a lot of variation in size even among flies of the same species.

Commentary: New York Lawmakers running familiar anti-hunting playbook

Featured, Hunting, New York, Opinion /

There must be something in the water in the Hudson River. First it was the Bronx and Queens when U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) asserted with zero scientific evidence that traditional lead hunting ammunition “poisons everything in sight.” Now, anti-hunting Democratic lawmakers in the state’s capital are pushing an egregiously anti-hunting bill under the guise of being “neighborly.”

Christine Thomas catches the ‘shutter’ bug with nature photography

Featured, Nature Page & Night Sky, Wisconsin /

“I think you should rent some cameras and lenses to see what you like,” advised my daughter, Shannon Honl. “Do some Internet research, read some reviews, and rent something you think you want to purchase.”
She was responding to my inquiry about what camera I should think about buying. I have been frustrated that I have not been able to get better wildlife shots with my cell phone. I like that I always have my phone handy, that it is light and uncomplicated, and that I can easily share photos from it. I do not like that I do not have the reach I need for birds and other critters.
