New York Reader Stories: An old man, an old dog and a grouse

This hunt occurred when I was 65 years old. Grouse were considered to be at the peak of their eight-to-11 year cycle.
Since then, I have watched grouse populations plummet year after year in the Northeast. The decline has been so rapid and severe that one state has canceled their grouse hunting season. If I were to repeat this hunt now, hunting the same covers, I would be very surprised to flush more than one grouse.

DNR safety education volunteers honored for decades of helping Illinois youth

Hunters of all ages across Illinois have something in common: at one time or another, they each went through a Hunter Safety Course.
Those courses would be impossible without a dedicated crew of volunteers who give up their time to teach the basics of hunting and enjoying the state’s outdoors in a safe manner. Other outdoor education programs – trapping, boating, and snowmobiling, for example – also depend on volunteers.

Study led by Penn State looks at fate of eDNA in streams

A bottle of water sampled from a lake or river can reveal what fish, amphibians, insects and bacteria are present, thanks to environmental DNA – or eDNA – the genetic material shed by organisms.
This way of measuring transforms scientists’ ability to determine the extent of aquatic life in various water bodies, according to a team led by Daniel Allen, associate professor of aquatic ecology at Penn State. The U.S. National Science Foundation awarded Allen and his team, which includes partners at the University of Alabama and the University of North Texas, a $1.95 million, five-year grant to support a project focused on analyzing how eDNA moves in streams across the continent.
