A recent decision by a federal judge in Texas caused celebration among suppressor enthusiasts in 27 states and other gun rights supporters across part of the country while also creating confusion for some.
What it ultimately means for prospective suppressor buyers depends on where they live. In Wisconsin, nothing has changed much, but neighboring Minnesotans can now buy a suppressor just as they would a new firearm by simply passing a background check.

Ask a fisheries biologist: What are the factors affecting hooking mortality?

Fishing, National Fishing, Wisconsin /

Catch-and-release has become the overwhelming mode of operation for many anglers, particularly for muskellunge, bass, and trout. Even anglers looking to harvest fish often have to release some because they are not of legal size.

New York’s Rockland County opts in on pilot youth deer hunt

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

Rockland County has joined every other eligible upstate county in New York State in participating in the Pilot Junior Hunting program, which allows youth ages 12 and 13 to hunt white-tailed deer.
Introduced by District 6 Legislator and Majority Leader Alden H. Wolfe, the law quietly passed the county legislature in June. It became official on July 1 when it was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New York. The passage makes Rockland County the last of all the eligible counties to opt in on the pilot program.

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

You know September’s early bird-hunting seasons are approaching when the days become noticeably shorter and the mornings noticeably cooler. As one waterfowler put it, “You can feel it in the air.”
Indeed, this is the season for the early bird hunters to take to Minnesota’s fields and waters, with mourning doves opening Sept. 1, followed by early teal and goose on Sept. 5. DNR officials say the early seasons give hunters multiple opportunities, typically in comfortable weather.
