State Roundup: Thoughts on Wisconsin’s new state-record smallmouth, deer gun season

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, National Fishing, National Hunting, Opinion, Wisconsin /

Congratulations on a new state-record smallmouth to Austin Schiefer, of Menasha, who caught the 9.7-pound fish (I had to do some math, but that pencils out to 11 ounces, best I can tell) from Green Bay off Oconto on Friday, Oct. 30.
I’ve tracked some of the social media chatter on Schiefer’s catch. I’ll borrow Aaron Rodgers’ R-E-L-A-X on the keyboard warriors who have been giving Schiefer a ration of crap for not releasing that fish.

Dan Ladd: Another N.Y. gun law leads to just more confusion

Featured, New York, Opinion /

Less than two weeks ahead of Election Day, while meeting with an anti-gun group, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed what is known as Francesco’s law, of which the main component now requires New York gun owners to safely store (lock up) any firearm when not under their control or in their possession.
I have to admit, earlier in the year this one slipped under the radar of many of us, myself included, who consider ourselves watchdogs for anti-gun legislation. It passed both houses and the governor picked a politically advantageous time to sign it.
