Steve Sarley: Social media attitudes can ‘stink to high heaven’

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Illinois, Opinion /

I’m a nice guy, I really am. I don’t go out of my way to provoke trouble or arguments. I don’t hurl insults or try to hurt people’s feelings. I try to adhere to the words of an old Jimmy Buffett lyric, “I’m just trying to get by, being quiet and shy in a world full of push and shove.”
That said, I recently turned to Facebook to attempt to gain advice for a problem I was having.

Dan Ladd: Reflecting on maps, manuals and memories of New York hunting licenses

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, National Hunting, New York, Opinion /

When I began hunting in the late 1970s, sporting licenses and carcass tags were printed on durable, cardboard-like waterproof paper. And what is today New York’s Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide was back then a large, foldable map. There were, in fact, separate maps for big game and small game hunting, as well as for fishing. 
As the new self-printed sporting license era begins, it’s a reminder of how times certainly have changed.

Ohio’s waterfowl hunt near the start gate; here’s what to know

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

This year’s 60-day waterfowl season in Ohio shouldn’t look much different than most years with the exception of the North Zone.
The North Zone hunting dates for this season are Oct. 19 through Oct. 27 and again from Nov. 16 through Jan. 5, 2025. The start date in the North Zone is a week later this year after hearing constituent input, said Mike Ervin, a waterfowl biologist with the ODNR Division of Wildlife.

Ryan Rothstein: What ENRTF is and why it matters so much for Minnesota’s outdoors

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Fishing, National Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky /

If you’re like most Minnesotans, you might be vaguely aware that, somehow, Minnesota State Lottery dollars have something to do with the environment.
On the surface, it probably seems like a lot of complicated legalese and boring statute language, and you may not know exactly what these dollars do. At any rate, you’re probably asking, “How does that help or affect me?” 
It’s a fair question, and if there’s one thing that nearly all conservation organizations have in common, it’s that they’re great at getting work on the ground, and not so good at telling you about it.
