Dan Ladd: Rare November wildfires take a toll on New York

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

There is a large waterfall near my home that is the namesake of the road I live on. Visible from the roadside, it’s not uncommon for passers-by to snap a photo or two. And when spring rains and snowmelt swell the brook, I can hear the falls from my home.
But right now when you pass by the falls, they are not even visible. That may change as just about the time we go to press with this issue some much needed rain is in the forecast for most of New York. That’s good news for the areas around Southeastern New York and New Jersey where wildfires have kept firefighters on their toes and even caused evacuations.

Mild weather greets New York’s Southern Zone opening day deer hunters

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

The opening weekend of New York’s Southern Zone rifle season was a comfortable one for hunters in the southern tier, with daytime temperatures both Saturday and Sunday hovering in the 50s, and even approaching 60 degrees in parts of the state.
That likely kept hunters in the field, resulting in a number of success stories, including several sent to New York Outdoor News.

Wildfire claims life of New York State Parks worker

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

The drought that is plaguing Southeastern New York and bordering states and contributing to wildfires has claimed the life of a New York State Parks employee.
New York, meanwhile, remained under a statewide burn ban, which at press time was to be in effect through Nov. 30. The ban was issued in early November as firefighting crews in both New York and New Jersey worked to contain what has become known as the Jenning’s Creek Wildfire.

Update: What hunters should know with CWD discovery in red deer at Herkimer County facility in New York

Featured, Hunting, New York, News /

Editor’s Note: The recent discovery of CWD is in Herkimer County, not Jefferson County as previously reported. 
For the first time since 2005, chronic wasting disease has been discovered in New York, this time in a deer at an unnamed private facility in Herkimer County, in upstate New York. 
At press time, the incident was still considered isolated. While not detected in wild deer in the area, state officials are taking measures to test local wild deer herds for the debilitating disease that is fatal to white-tailed deer, and are prepared for more extreme measures should they be deemed warranted.
