New York anglers react to new bass tournament permit rule

To maintain the quality of the resource and allow the agency to better understand the impact of bass tournaments in the state, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation recently announced new regulations for implementing a black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) tournament permit and reporting system.
The free permits are only required for fishing tournaments where black bass are the targeted species, and the tournament has 10 or more participants.

Wolf pack blamed in Colorado livestock attacks is captured and will be relocated

Colorado wildlife officials said Monday that they captured and plan to relocate five members of the first pack of wolves to form under the state’s ambitious wolf reintroduction program.
A sixth wolf — the pack’s adult male — was captured but died in captivity due to injuries unrelated to its capture, officials said. That wolf had been involved in repeated attacks on livestock and officials said it would have been kept in captivity if it survived.

Minnesota archers set to learn (non) winter’s effects on whitetails

As Minnesota kicked off its first archery season allowing crossbow use for all last year, it didn’t lead to an increased harvest – a concern of some leading up to the season.
“I’ve been looking at several things based on harvest – archery harvest, crossbow harvest – and there isn’t really anything that drastically stands out just as a result of crossbow harvest,” said Todd Froberg, DNR big-game program coordinator.
However, last season’s deer harvest was lower overall than recent years, hovering around 160,000 with about 24,000 harvested by archers making it a less-than-ideal year to set a baseline for crossbow usage, he said.

Key ingredients to up your odds for success on early-season morning hunts

I bumped a couple of bucks off their beds during a late-summer scouting trip two years ago. The weather and habitat conditions then were similar to what we typically see during the early archery season.
It was hot, with high humidity and temperatures in the 70s by early morning. My first goal was to find exactly where the biggest of the bucks was bedded.
Sure enough, it was in a location many bucks seem to prefer. A deadfall that arched over a low spot in the terrain created the ideal area for a whitetail to safely and comfortably hunker down. It featured great shade cover above, and the air was cooler there than it was in the surrounding area.
