2025 was another good year for Lake Ontario fishing

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, New York, News /

In looking back on the 2025 fishing season for Lake Ontario, lake managers with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation’s Lake Ontario Unit had plenty of good news to share with members of the Lake Ontario Trout and Salmon Association on Dec. 11 at the group’s annual Christmas meeting. The gathering was also open to the public.
In what has become a bit of a tradition each December, DEC staff, led by Christopher Legard (Lake Ontario Unit Leader), and biologists Mike Connerton and Jessica Goretzke, gave an overview of what happened on the lake the past year, and some of what is expected for 2026.

Dan Ladd: Could this be the year snow creates conflict between hunters, snowmobilers during New York’s Holiday Week Hunt?

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York, Opinion /

My wife’s biggest hobby is crafts, particularly Christmas crafts, and each year in early December our house turns into a Christmas craft store for a very popular tour that she’s part of. And each year the weather situation seems to work out for her and others on the tour.
But I keep saying that one of these years a big storm is going to put a damper on things. I feel the same way about New York’s annual holiday week hunt, which is about to go down Dec. 26 through Jan. 1, 2026.

Making it to a 64th Wisconsin deer camp is a win in itself

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

If November played football, it would be a pulling guard leading the ground attack, flattening the first defender and telling the rest of them to get out of the way because winter is on the horizon and no one messes with winter in Wisconsin.
November also is a month of pilgrimage, a journey to a holy place for many in Wisconsin, to the deer camp, an institution of wonder and history – a place that sits among all the good things that make life a worthy adventure.

Trappers anticipate prices, eye upcoming fur markets

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, New York, News /

New York State trapping seasons are in full swing and trappers and fur hunters are piling up hides. The outlook for this season has a few bright spots and a few not-so-bright spots. Still, trappers must have a market to sell their furs.
The prices for red fox appear to be between $10 to $15. Flatter types and damaged goods will be bring less. Trappers should also expect offers near $6 for coyotes as there is not a big demand for coyotes at present.

Illinois Farm Bureau puts beavers, groundhogs, skunks on notice

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

A proposal for the Illinois Farm Bureau to support supplemental feeding of deer in Illinois as a way to ease crop damage fell flat at the organization’s annual meeting this month.
But a push to put more pressure on the state’s raccoons, skunks, beavers, and ground hogs was given a “thumbs up.”
