There was just one injury reported in 2025. That’s down from 14 incidents in 2024, which included a fatality from Clay County during the firearms deer season.

Through support from the Illinois NWTF State Chapter, NWTF volunteers and partners are restoring habitat at Camp Big Sky in Fulton County, transforming former brome grass fields into thriving native grasslands that will provide critical nesting and brooding cover for wild turkeys.

Ask any deer hunter – especially one with a few seasons under the belt – what’s looked forward to most during the hunt, and there’s a good chance the reply will have something to do with time spent with family and friends.
Bill Taubman, of Shell Lake, Wis., is one of those hunters. Taubman hiked into his opening day deer stand for his 75th time in November. This year his hunting partner was 83 years younger than him.

This is the time of year when trappers and fur hunters are selling their furs and hope to maximize a good return. Trappers who have taken fur to any of New York’s auctions are seeing a consistent rise in mink, fox, and coyote prices.
Although a gradual rise, it may point ahead to a positive future and in time produce better markets.

The eyes of the first big northern pike I ever saw looked to be a foot apart.
Just moments before, I thought my grandfather was trying to free his line from weeds, but now I was staring at a monster. Grandpa had worked the fish to the boat in a calm and deliberate fashion, probably in the hope of keeping the 10-year-old version of me unaware of the big moment in my life that was about to happen.
