Steve Piatt: In what seems like the blink of an eye, hunting mentees become the mentors

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

Back in 2004, I took a 12-year-old kid on New York State’s first ever youth turkey hunt on a bitterly cold morning in the Adirondacks, with a temp that bottomed out at 18 degrees.
Still, we hunted. And after calling in a fisher on our first setup, we eventually located a pair of jakes that cooperated, and Jake Hooper had his first bird, in his excitement leaving his hunting license in the woods and not telling me about it until a week later.

Commentary: Minnesota continues to invest in fishing infrastructure

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

The near-record bonding bill, $1.24 billion, passed by the 2026 Minnesota Legislature included “big wins” for state anglers, according to staffers from MN-Fish, a non-profit fishing advocacy organization, who worked the session.
Leading the “wins” is $3 million in bonding to begin the process of replacing the DNR’s 130-year-old St. Paul Fish Hatchery. The metro’s only fish raising facility is severely dilapidated. The hatchery continues to raise walleyes and muskies for stocking in key metro waters.

Dean Bortz: Yes, catching a muskie can be bad thing

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

Ever get cussed out, harangued, and blasphemed for catching a muskellunge?
That happened to yours truly on a very cold, windy night in mid-May while fishing with my son, Daniel, and granddaughter, Charlotte, age 8. Just to clarify, it was Daniel who did the cussing and blaspheming. Lotti still likes me. A muskie ranging somewhere from 32 to 35 inches pretty much wrecked a fishing outing in mid-May.
