Dan Ladd: A front row seat to forward-facing sonar

Whenever the Bassmasters Elite Series comes to Plattsburgh, N.Y., I typically try to make it up there at least for a day. Covering the tournament allows me the opportunity to get new photos of the current competitors, and talking with B.A.S.S. Conservation Director Gene Gilliland is always at the top of my list.
It’s less than a two-hour drive for me and being that SUNY Plattsburgh is my college alma mater, well, it’s always nice to take a ride down Memory Lane.

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

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.

Canada goose, squirrel kick off New York’s hunting seasons

A white-tailed deer season of change is about to get underway in New York, but first a handful of small game seasons get started beginning Sept. 1, which is also the date that New York’s new hunting and trapping calendar year begins.
With the exception of Long Island and the New York City metro region, every waterfowl hunting zone in New York has an early Canada goose hunting season that runs from Sept. 1-25.

Dan Ladd: Garage sales bring bargains on reloading gear

When I took up reloading, some four years ago now, I wisely (in my opinion) invested in quality new equipment.
Robin Sharpless, Redding Reloading’s vice president, and a long-time friend, set me up with what I needed. But in our conversations we also talked about the used market. A well-cared-for reloading press, for example, will stand the test of time, Sharpless told me. While things like older scales, powder measurers, and especially dies are items that handloaders may want to scrutinize a bit before buying used.

Dan Ladd: Permanent Daylight Savings Time would affect sportsmen

I’ve been keeping and eye on the developments in Congress concerning possible changes to Daylight Savings Time.
Specifically, a bill passed last month by the House, which is now in the Senate (and supported by President Trump) would make Daylight Savings Time permanent. We’re currently observing DST, so if this bill becomes law we would not set our clocks back an hour overnight Oct. 31 into Nov. 1 this fall. That’s when DST is set to end for the winter months.
