Dan Ladd: Here’s why the first 10 days of New York’s turkey season are my favorite

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

The first week to 10 days of New York’s spring gobbler season is pretty much my favorite. And for a lot of reasons. The chance for success is surely one of them as – especially in recent years – luck has come my way early on. But it goes well beyond that.
It starts simply with the anticipation and excitement that comes with the beginning of any season. Once I became a dedicated turkey hunter, May 1 was a date that didn’t even have to be circled on the calendar.

Good turkey season expected in many parts of New York

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

New York’s annual spring turkey hunting season is once again May 1-31 and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is confident that hunters in many areas of the state can expect some gobbler action this May.
“Turkey populations appear stable across most of the state, and the Catskill region and St. Lawrence River Valley remain good choices to find huntable flocks,” DEC spokesman Jeff Wernick said.

A collaboration between Trout Unlimited and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s fisheries staff in Albany, and especially in Regions 4, 5 and 6, is helping open up more habitat for brook trout in Adirondack  and Tug Hill region streams.
And more help for the official New York State fish is on the way.

Dan Ladd: Hoping the New York legislature doesn’t cry wolf

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, Opinion /

In the April 4 edition of New York Outdoor News we touched on a number of sporting-related legislative items that may or may not progress through the state’s political chamber this year. Among them is A01229/S05402, a bill designed to protect potentially migrating wolves in New York.
This proposed legislation obviously stems from the fact that a wolf was killed by a New York hunter late in 2021 who had mistaken it for a large coyote, something that hadn’t happened – or at least had not been documented – in nearly two decades.

H5N1 virus detected in four New York bobcats

Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, News /

A report released in late March by the Journal of Wildlife Diseases has confirmed the discovery of the H5N1 (avian flu) virus in four New York bobcats. Three of the animals have survived, thus far. One was confirmed to have died.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has been in collaboration with Cornell University on a bobcat study in New York, part of which involves outfitting bobcats with GPS collars to track movements.

Dan Ladd: March ice-fishing trip to New York’s Fulton County better late than never

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, New York /

Here it is early April, and I’m looking back a month to early March, which found me doing something I typically do around the Christmas holiday: getting my ice fishing gear in order.
Actually, I had rounded up everything right after deer season ended and once New York’s holiday-week hunt was over I began to get excited in late January as my favorite lakes began to button up. But things went awry in February thanks to social events and recurring Sunday snowstorms that kept this weekend warrior angler off the ice.
