Anglers warned not to fish in areas of Ohio’s Maumee River after sewage overflows leak into Lake Erie watershed

A pair of public health agencies more than 100 miles apart had to issue public health warnings after polluted water entered the Lake Erie watershed in June.
On June 6, the Toledo/Lucas County Health Department issued a public health advisory for Swan Creek and its tributaries from Eastgate to the Maumee River due to elevated levels of E. coli. The known source is untreated human sewage coming from a leaking sewer line that caused a large sinkhole to form and crush the large pipe when it expanded and collapsed.

Bear tagged in Ohio’s Ashtabula County as researchers aim to learn about species’ expanding range

The Ohio DNR (ODNR) Division of Wildlife, in partnership with the University of Dayton’s Gantchoff Lab, recently collared a female black bear in Ashtabula County to learn more about how this species is expanding its range in Ohio.

The evolution of the amazing .308 family of hunting rounds

The .308 Winchester rifle cartridge was unleashed on the public in 1952. Just three years later it morphed into the .243 Winchester. And the race was on.
As most know, the .308 Winchester emerged from military trials as they searched for a more efficient battle rifle/cartridge than the M1 Garand and .30-06. Winchester was in on the search and figured, even if the military did not adopt the shortened .30-06 they’d created, hunters and target shooters might. Good move.
