Duck regulations feature some tweaks for Ohio’s 2025 hunting season

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

Waterfowl hunters in Ohio this fall will be allowed to have more pintails in the daily duck bag than at any time in recent memory.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is allowing for three pintails in the daily bag as opposed to last year’s one. The Ohio Wildlife Council approved this fall’s waterfowl season dates and bag limits at its meeting on April 30.
“The (pintail bag limit) is hopefully exciting for folks,” said Mike Ervin, a waterfowl biologist with the ODNR Division of Wildlife.

Partnership leads to stocked trout in Pennsylvania’s Venango County

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

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission on May 2 partnered with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission to stock 1,500 trout into Oil Creek around the Drake Well Museum and Park historical site in Venango County.
The leaders of each agency said they are looking for ways to serve their common audiences. Along with attracting history buffs and school groups to northwestern Pennsylvania to learn about the region’s oil boom that began in the late 1850s, neighboring Oil Creek attracts anglers, fly-fishermen and kayakers from across the state.

Spongy moths in the crosshairs on Pennsylvania’s public lands

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

More than two dozen state parks, forests and game lands in Pennsylvania are being sprayed this month as part of an ongoing effort to combat spongy – formerly called gypsy – moths, an invasive insect that poses a significant threat to woodland ecosystems.
The aerial spraying of 11 state forests and parks and 16 game lands with a biological agent and a chemical insecticide targets caterpillars as they emerge from their overwintering egg masses and begin to feed on the leaves of trees. While oaks are the spongy moth’s preferred host, hundreds of species of trees are vulnerable.

As we prepare to kick off our 2025 bass fishing season in New York, thoughts go to tackle, baits, and locations we’ll likely target for our first bass fishing adventure.
I’m certain most dedicated bass anglers are familiar with top-waters, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, plastic worms and creature baits. There are countless ways and locations to present these lures, but there’s also a presentation with plastics that receives little fanfare that ought to find its way into your bass fishing arsenal.

Dean Bortz: Some information on Wisconsin’s new deer units, wolf committee

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

After a quick check with our reporters who attended CDAC meetings, CDAC members and DNR personnel, it sounds as though the proposal for new numbered deer units – switching from county units to units with similar habitat – was fairly well received by CDAC members and hunters who attended the meetings.

Streams of Thought: The sprint to the end of Minnesota’s legislative session is on

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

With nearly the palpable anticipation of its followers, the 2025 Minnesota legislative session is nearing its end.
And I must say, I haven’t seen this much drama since “Days of our Lives” during my college years – when the sweet and innocent Kayla was falling for bad-boy “Patch,” Bo and Hope Brady were so perfect a couple as to have been matched by God himself, and Roman Brady, presumed dead, re-emerged as something called John Black, after the requisite appearance-altering plastic surgery, of course.
