Hooked on Fishing event draws in nearly 200 kids in Ohio

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, National News, News, Ohio /

The only thing more prevalent than sunshine on Saturday, June 15, at the Perry County Gun Club Lake was kids catching catfish at the sixth annual Perry County Sheriff’s Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs (HOFNOD) angling event.
With largemouth bass and numerous bluegills also being landed by the 193 young anglers in attendance, the day was a complete success from the catching to the eating with a free hot dog lunch prepared by Perry County Sheriff (Chef) William R. Barker.

Minnesota DNR adds Aitkin County to deer feeding and attractant ban

Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has added Aitkin County in a deer feeding and attractant ban to reduce the risk of chronic wasting disease spread, following CWD detection in two additional wild deer near Grand Rapids in fall 2023.
“The DNR uses feeding and attractant bans as a tool to reduce unnatural aggregations of deer and reduce the risk of exposure to CWD,” said Todd Froberg, big game program coordinator. “We use this tool where it provides the greatest benefit to the health of Minnesota’s white-tailed deer.”

Don’t forget about traditional bass baits this summer

The night before a fishing tournament a couple of summers ago, my son Jack and I sat in our boat, rigging rods and talking about the next day. I’ve long loved fishing bass tournaments, but this would be his first.
I’m also a lover of lures and tackle, and our boat includes many of the fishing industry’s latest and greatest. For me, though, experience often produces sentimentality. Jack lacks the same experience, so his strongest ties are to more “modern” concepts – vibrating jigs, buzzbaits with plastic trailers rather than rubber skirts, and soft-plastic baits in varieties too numerous to count.

What can we learn from a buck’s antlers? Plenty, according to Nebraska research

Brian Peterson and a team of researchers at the University of Nebraska-Kearney have been studying white-tailed deer antlers for the past 15 years.
Peterson is the coordinator of the master of science biology program at the University of Nebraska-Kearney and he was a recent guest on the National Deer Association’s (NDA) Coffee and Deer podcast.
“It’s not just, ‘Wow, that buck scored 150,’ or whatever,” said Nick Pinizzotto, president and CEO of the NDA and a co-host of the Coffee and Deer podcast. “There’s a lot more that can be learned from antlers other than just its score.”
