The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently released a 2026-2035 Strategic Plan for Pheasant Stocking, which intends to shift the focus on pheasant hunting in New York to R3 initiatives.
The plan, DEC says, will embrace R3 principals and aim to enhance hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation. A press release said the plan updates and replaces the 2010–2020 Management Plan for Ringnecked Pheasants in New York State and that it advances three main goals.

Of course, while we are out for many hours on my boat, we see and photograph several other species of bird, but there is one species in particular that seems to always grab everyone’s attention. It is the red-necked grebe.

Scott Thiede has been keeping an eye on the fox den in his urban neighborhood, and recently caught a parent watching over one of its six kits. The little one was gnawing on a piece of chicken, apparently tossed out by a neighbor who raises poultry.

A Lake Tomahawk man who allegedly placed poisoned beaver carcasses on state forest land near his home in Oneida County was issued 10 citations totaling more than $2,700 in possible fines.
