What hunters need to know heading into Iowa’s gun deer seasons

Featured, Hunting, Iowa, National Hunting, National News, News /

For an expected 100,000-plus deer hunters, the long wait is almost over, Iowa’s gun deer seasons are right around the corner.

Tom Venesky: Where’s the whitetail rut in Pennsylvania?

Featured, Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Beyond the decreasing length of daylight hours, I don’t believe there are many other factors that significantly influence when rut activity takes place.
But this year seems to be a little different. Several trips into the woods during the first 10 days of November – a period when rutting activity should be just about in full swing – resulted in plenty of deer sightings but little of the expected behavior signifying the rut is taking place.

An invasive clam species that has caused environmental problems in waters where it has taken hold has been found in Lake Champlain, and fisheries experts in New York and Vermont are working to determine how far they have spread and what impact they may have.
