Time in the woods is always beneficial when preparing for a whitetail hunting season, and that is especially the case when trying to pick apart a new property.
In this video, Eric Morken of Outdoor News takes a weekend this spring to scout a property he has never hunted before. Come along with him as he discusses where he starts when seeking out setups.

Chris Depaola comes by hunting and fishing honestly.
It’s in his blood.
“My dad was a big fisherman as were my uncles and most of my family,” said Depaola, 66, who grew up in the Mahoning Valley. “Matter of fact, one of my uncles actually held the state record walleye for quite a few years. He caught it out of Pymatuning Reservoir in the 1960s.”
Outdoor News presents the second part of its centennial reprint of Ernest Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River” this week. As we explained in our last issue, the story originally appeared in 1925 in two parts, but for space considerations, we’re dividing it into four. The end of this “Part 2” syncs with the end of the original first half of the story. Readers are seeing the original text.

Steelhead fishing reminds me of deer season. When hunting the rut during the second week of November or during the regular gun season, you will have company. In the same light, countless other anglers know when it is a good time to go for steelhead. Your plans may go out the window as soon as you arrive.
Driving more than two hours to reach the nearest river is my limiting factor. If I lived close by, I would go more often, try to find less occupied times, but that is not practical.

According to Captain Scott Heston, who has fished Sandusky Bay for more than 45 years, “The heat of the summer, July and August, is the best time of the year to catch catfish.”
A catfish-only guide, he has operated his charter since 2016 from Hidden Hideaway Campground & Marina, formerly called Hank’s on the Bay near Port Clinton, Ohio. In my trips with him during April and May the past several years, a higher percentage of bigger catfish make up the catches. But for sheer action, the numbers of fish caught in June is tough to beat and the bite remains furious through August.

It all started when my wife, Jill, and I bought a travel trailer a few years ago. We used it to successfully get the heck out of Minnesota in the dead of winter.
A month in Myrtle Beach. A few runs to Florida. Spring, summer, and fall found us camping on the North Shore of Lake Superior and other nearby spots. It turns out that most places have bodies of water begging to be fished.

Bruce Trumbower has a passion for habitat and sharing it with others
Twenty-five years ago he hunted his Pennsylvania farm during the first week of rifle deer season and realized there was a problem.
And potential. Up until then, Trumbower spent most of his years in hunting clubs, pursuing game elsewhere. But that first time he hunted his farm in Hunlock Creek, Luzerne County, it was a wake-up call.
