In the April 4 edition of New York Outdoor News we touched on a number of sporting-related legislative items that may or may not progress through the state’s political chamber this year. Among them is A01229/S05402, a bill designed to protect potentially migrating wolves in New York.
This proposed legislation obviously stems from the fact that a wolf was killed by a New York hunter late in 2021 who had mistaken it for a large coyote, something that hadn’t happened – or at least had not been documented – in nearly two decades.

My buddy thinks the CC is the worst idea Aldo Leopold ever spawned or supported. And man, was Leopold a thinker.

There’s no other season in fishing that rewards scouting, timing, and location knowledge as does spring. When it comes to chasing panfish – especially crappies and bluegills – it’s not just where you fish, but rather it’s when you’re there, and it’s about the water below.
Fishing for springtime panfish can be super productive with the right plan Read More »
