Dan Ladd: Great New York deer hunting season coming? I’m looking forward to finding out

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

If you’ve been reading the articles in this publication, then you know that our friends at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation are optimistic for a solid deer harvest this fall.
Here in the Northern Zone, where I do most of my hunting, DEC biologists are encouraging hunters not to be overly hesitant when it comes to antlerless deer opportunities. Deer populations, they say, are robust. I consider them experts, trust their insight and I certainly hope they are correct.

Streams of Thought: Minnesota pheasant opener brings some soreness, but I love every minute of it

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, Opinion /

There are certain times, when your head hits the pillow at night, that you’re absolutely certain you’ve earned and are badly in need of a long, hard sleep. Such was the case for me on Sunday, ’round about 10 p.m. (I’d hoped it would be earlier.)
Liza the black Lab had ridden on a pickup seat for four hours – from afternoon sunshine to nighttime darkness – with barely a budge.

Tom Bahti: A list of some outdoor truisms

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Wisconsin /

For several decades, I’ve been writing a brief column of “truisms” for Intelligent Tinkering, the publication of the Wisconsin Chapter of The Wildlife Society. It’s just a silly list of wit and wisdom that I’ve borrowed, stolen or plagiarized with impunity from other sources.

Such pearls of wisdom as, “Leaders should not get too far in front of their troops or they will get shot in the ass,” or, “Elect clowns and expect a circus,” make it into print. You get the idea … .
I got to thinking the other day that there are a handful of these truisms that relate to the outdoor pursuits that we all enjoy. Let’s take a look a few.

Steve Sarley: The enemy of all fishermen? Stubbornness

Featured, Fishing, Illinois, National Fishing /

Stubbornness is a bad habit and it’s a hard one to break. Sometimes I think that being stubborn is going to be my downfall – and it often is when it comes to fishing.
One of the biggest mistakes a fisherman can make is to get locked into something because they base their behavior on something they heard or were told by someone rather than learning it themselves. As fishermen, we tend to use the opinions of people we know, rather than using our own knowledge or our personal instincts.

Pennsylvania’s Sunday hunting bill awaits House vote

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

Although the Game and Fisheries Committee voted along party lines to advance a bill that would lift the prohibition on Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania, members of the House weren’t quite ready to take a vote.
During a lengthy meeting on Oct. 1, the House Game and Fisheries Committee approved Senate Bill 67, which gives the Pennsylvania Game Commission the authority to institute Sunday hunting on any dates it sees fit. Currently, Sunday hunting is allowed for one day in each of the following seasons: archery deer, firearms bear and firearms deer.
