New aviation fuel plant in Hayward, Wis., would bring market for the timber industry

Featured, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Wisconsin /

The Forestry Revitalization Act, a bill introduced by state legislators recently, could result in Wisconsin becoming a global leader in the production of sustainable aviation fuel from the state’s forests.
According to legislators, the bill would support Wisconsin’s logging industry and the broader Northwoods economy. The harvesting of Wisconsin timber has been a significant contributor to the state economy since the late 1800s, but that role has been decreasing.

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

Wisconsin’s nine-day gun deer season will run Nov. 22-30.
Before heading into the woods, hunters should know key regulatory changes and boundary adjustments. Unit maps have changed, tag allotments have been adjusted and mild winters in recent years could improve this year’s odds of success.

To err is human, but avoiding these mistakes will bag you more pheasants

Featured, Featured, Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Iowa, Minnesota, National Hunting, Wisconsin /

Opening day of pheasant hunting’s celebratory mood turned as dark as an Edgar Allan Poe poem not long after the season’s first shot shells were chambered. Cinematically, it had the aura of a pheasant-hunting horror show whose lead characters – the shooter and he who was shot – won’t soon forget.
I spent six glorious autumns in Aberdeen, South Dakota, covering the outdoors and never once hunted the pheasant opener. Opening days were reserved for riding shotgun with local game wardens, then writing a story from of what we’d observed.

Bob Gwizdz: Abundant beavers creating management dilemmas in Michigan

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky /

Beavers are making a comeback in Michigan. Once extirpated from the southern Lower Peninsula, the toothy critters are showing up in places such as Ann Arbor and even the Detroit River.
At one time they were so well protected that there was a yearly bag and trappers had to bring in the carcasses and have them sealed. Now, there is no bag limit and a lengthy season, from late October through April, as long as it’s ever been in recent memory.

Outdoor Insights: Another big outdoors show comes to Minnesota, and a rare ferret photographed

Featured, Home Page News, Minnesota, Nature Page & Night Sky, Opinion /

On top of Game Fair and State Fair, August in Minnesota just got even busier.
Readers of this newspaper have seen us report about the SHOT and ICAST shows, the two big trade conventions serving the shooting sports and sportfishing industries. They’re different from popular consumer shows like Game Fair or the Northwest Sportshow, because they limit attendance to industry professionals, but some news usually breaks, plus a massive amount of business gets done at them.

Tom Venesky: All Pennsylvania stocking decisions must protect wild trout

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

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission already stocks trout in 691 streams encompassing nearly 5,000 miles, along with 130 lakes.
That’s a lot of water with stocked trout, so do we really need to stock hatchery fish in places inhabited by wild trout as well? Turns out, it’s not an easy question to answer.
