Hunting the Adirondack backwoods makes for some great tales to share

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

It was a warm day in the mountains, so rather than hunting I decided to do a few chores around camp, including splitting a little kindling.
As I was working on that a fellow suddenly came huffing and puffing up the brook in front of camp. He looked to be about 60 or so and a few years older than me. It was also obvious he didn’t know where he was. He also probably knew the forecast was for temperatures in the teens that night.

“The department has already decided on these programmatic changes,” Barb Avers, the DNR’s waterfowl and wetlands specialist, told Michigan Outdoor News. “There’s a number of reasons we need to make this change.”

Pennsylvania group celebrates 50 years of annual canoe trips

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

In early August 1974, close friends Paul Misko and Mike McGraw treated their soon-to-be wives to a week-long canoe and camping trip on the Juniata River.
The men were close friends who’d grown up together in Altoona, Pa., joined the U.S. Marine Corps and served in Vietnam. Although one sojourn was enough for the women, Misko and McGraw returned the following summer with a few friends for what would evolve into an annual tradition. This year marked the Eureka Canoe Club’s 50th anniversary and included 26 paddlers from as far away as Alaska, New England and Florida.
