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

Living part time in Pennsylvania’s elk range for awhile, not long ago, I became enamored and fascinated by the majestic animals.

Fish sampling season luring anglers’ eyes in Illinois

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Illinois, National Fishing, National News, News /

As Illinois fishermen, this we know: Biologists and their crews aren’t sharing photos and catch reports from spring sampling sessions simply to tease and aggravate us. Pulling giant muskies, bass, and catfish into their boats is simply ”part of the job.”
Results of the surveys are eye-opening and motivating, especially after a long winter.
