Pennsylvania Game Commission mostly pleased by results of recent elk season

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

Although generally happy with the 2025 regular season’s results, Pennsylvania Game Commission elk biologist Jeremy Banfield commented on a few exceptions.
“Elk Hunt Zone 2’s cow harvest is disappointing that most of the elk in that area were locked up in zone 7 (ironically on the visitor center grounds) and I don’t think they ever left the entire week,” Banfield said.

Commentary: High school clay leagues put the fun back into shooting

Featured, Ohio, Opinion /

The newest, and fastest growing, high school sport is trapshooting. Students across the country are discovering the fun in the shooting sports and smashing clay targets.
Starting in 2016, there are now more than 50 teams across Ohio. I have friends at Adena High School in Frankfort, Ohio, who are having a wonderful time on the trap range. The Adena School District is a sprawling rural district.

Commentary: Cut Pennsylvania’s trappers a break; we need more of them

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

If the calendar runs true to course, December provides anglers one last opportunity to pursue walleyes in open water. It can be a cold proposition, but some of the biggest walleye of the year are caught in December just before lakes freeze up, often under the cover of darkness.

Dial back the volume with a suppressor on your predator rifle; here’s what to know

Featured, Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National Hunting, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

Hunting predators is an excellent way to keep tuning your hunting and shooting skills during the off-season for whitetails and other big game.
One of the best ways to improve your odds for success is to install a sound suppressor on your predator rifle. A suppressor, more commonly known as a silencer, will not only help protect your hearing, but in low-light conditions it also helps protect your eyes from painful muzzle flashes.
