In the end, the more than 59,000 turkey hunters who went after gobblers this spring topped the harvest record that was set last year. They did that by taking about 16,880 turkeys as of Tuesday, June 3, according to the Minnesota DNR.
DNR Migratory Gamebird Consultant Nate Huck said Tuesday that it’s likely a few more harvested birds will be registered in coming days and weeks to ultimately reach the final harvest tally – somewhere in the 16,900s, which surpasses the 2024 spring season’s record of 16,714.

Pro Fishing Tip of the Week: Try bobber fishing 4 to 8 inches above bottom

Features, Fishing, Minnesota, National Fishing /

An emerging pattern shows a good number of walleyes hugging tight to the bottom. When conventional presentations are not working, it’s time for a float and leech combination.
The majority of anglers bobber fish 12 to 18 inches above the bottom in hopes of success. While walleyes that are tight to the bottom can and will come up to feed, a presentation of 4 to 8 inches above the bottom can offer great results.

Foundation makes wetlands, stream accessible for all in Pennsylvania

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

Twenty-two cars and pickups nearly filled the parking lot at the Soaring Eagle Wetlands near Julian, Pa. The vehicles mainly belonged to anglers taking advantage of the access to a section of Bald Eagle Creek delineated as Keystone Select – and stocked with buckets full of big trout.
It should be no surprise that anglers flock to the state’s Keystone Stocked Trout Waters, because they provide excellent catch-and-release fishing for large trout. For three months out of the year, the biggest attraction at Soaring Eagle by far is the trout fishing.

Tom Venesky: Air rifles for big game in Pennsylvania lacks merit

1 Comment / Discussions, Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Some hunters prefer to hunt deer with traditional bows or a muzzleloader because they like the challenge of hunting with a primitive weapon.
But there’s a big difference between a challenge and ethics. I don’t begrudge anyone who chooses to hunt with a recurve, for example, or even a muzzleloader. They are effective choices when used in the corresponding season. When it comes to the ethical choice, however, I’ve always believed that you use the tool that is most capable of a quick, clean, one-shot kill.
