Tom Venesky: Young hunter creates lasting memory during Nancy’s Vision Turkey Hunt in Pa.

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

Brantley Yoder tried to be modest when asked what it was like to harvest his first gobbler, but the 10-year-old’s grin gave him away.
Yoder, who is from Delaware, served as the “ambassador” for the Nancy’s Vision Youth Turkey Hunt on April 25 in New Milford, Pennsylvania. Organizers of the event gave Yoder and his family a place to stay for the weekend, outfitted him with a shotgun and hunting clothes, put him in a spot with a lot of vocal gobblers and, best of all, sent him into the woods with champion turkey caller Hunter Wallis.

Ohio buck from Wyandot County had some unique character

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

Matt Malone is a relative newcomer to deer hunting but the buck he shot last November will be a tough one to top.
Malone, back on Nov. 1, shot a nice 10-point buck with his crossbow that had some rather unique characteristics. For one, it sported about a 10-inch drop tine off its left beam. Malone said he was hunting in Wyandot County in northwest Ohio, but he had never seen this buck prior to Nov. 1.

Notes off a soiled cuff: Pennsylvania has a catfish conundrum

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

Pennsylvania sits astride two major drainages: Streams in the west drain into the Ohio River, and that water ends up in the Gulf of America; the rest of the state drains into the Atlantic Ocean. Their native fish species are different.
This fact complicates the Fish & Boat Commission’s effort to restore blue catfish to the Ohio River basin and protect flathead catfish there.
