Mike Raykovicz: Be mindful of invasive species on your travels this summer

Blogs, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, Opinion /

It’s the middle of July and many New Yorkers will be traveling to camping and fishing venues throughout the state and beyond its borders. However, this travel is not without the danger of attracting and bringing back unwanted hitchhikers in the form of invasive insects or plants that can wreak havoc on our environment.
As we travel this summer people spending time on lakes or in campgrounds must take at least cursory precautions to protect our native ecosystems and environment.

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Wisconsin /

The DNR fisheries team out of the Woodruff office surveyed Big Saint Germain Lake in 2021. A previous survey had been done in 2011. Big Saint stands as one of Vilas County’s most popular fishing lakes thanks to its panfish and game fish species, and its abundant structure.

Chances are pretty good, if you’ve done a lot of upland bird or waterfowl hunting, you’ve seen a great hunting dog in action.
Chances also are pretty good you’ve seen an out-of-control canine that has ruined your hunt and led to some embarrassment for the dog’s owner. In the field, it’s simply a wasted day of hunting.
In the duck blind, it’s a flat-out safety issue that can’t be tolerated. And it’s not the dog’s fault.

Dean Bortz: An Avett brother in Missoula antique store?

Featured, Features, Fishing, Hunting, Wisconsin /

Considering that I drew Montana deer and elk tags for this fall, I’d like to have been able to call our recent soiree to Montana, Oregon, and Idaho a scouting trip, but if I had to be honest – and I guess I do – that would be stretching it a bit.
Oh, I did some scouting, but those discoveries aren’t going to get me very much closer to tagging a bull during the Montana archery season in September, or putting the scope’s crosshairs on a Missouri Breaks buck in early November. I did learn a few things, though, that I’d be more willing to share than the coordinates of my favorite elk hunting spots.

Illinois squirrel hunters remain positive with season opener near

Featured, Hunting, Illinois, National Hunting, National News, News /

Days leading up to the much-anticipated Aug. 1 opening of the Illinois squirrel season often get dampened by depressing numbers depicting declines in participation and harvest.
So let’s start with this: Hunters harvested 265,000 squirrels during 2022-23, the most recent season documented by the Illinois Natural History Survey. If those numbers brighten your outlook, maybe skip the next lines, because a decade prior –  during the 2012-23 season – the harvest was 475,000.
