Remembering Adirondack deer hunting legend Dick Johndrow

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

One of North Country deer hunting’s biggest ambassadors, Dick Johndrow, of Ticonderoga (Essex County, N.Y.), passed away May 30 at the age of 93.
Johndrow became a household name in northern New York, and beyond, in 1968 when he harvested a massive Adirondack buck, which by NYS Big Buck Club standards measured 171-4 inches and currently sits at 57th in the club’s record book under the Gun Typical category.

Dan Ladd: Sportsmen and women still pay for conservation

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

Like Vermont, fish and wildlife agencies across the country have begun to look ahead when it comes to future funding for outdoor resources. For nearly a century, a great deal of such funding has come from Pittman-Roberston and Dingle-Johnson programs, instituted in 1937 and 1950, respectively.

Bassmaster Elite Series ‘swings’ into New York for season’s final events

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

New York is about to become the center of attention for professional bass fishing as the Bassmaster Elite Series is set to close out its season in the Empire State.
What is often referred to as the “northern swing” commences Aug. 13-16 in Plattsburgh when the Elite Series anglers will spend four days fishing Lake Champlain. Two weeks later, from Aug. 27-30, it’ll be Clayton’s turn, as the quaint village will host the Elites’ last event of the year on the St. Lawrence River.

New York Crossbow Coalition dissolving a year after major crossbow expansion

1 Comment / Discussions, Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, New York, News /

Victory has its rewards, but it can sometimes have shortcomings. Citing a drop in membership and participation among current members, the New York Crossbow Coalition’s board of directors recently voted to dissolve the organization. 
For a decade-and-a-half the group, led by the late Rick McDermott and most recently, Roy Dust, campaigned tirelessly for expanded crossbow hunting opportunities in New York and built a membership that was over 1,600 strong.

Dan Ladd: Get informed on New York’s antlerless deer regulation changes

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

I’ve said before that I wish every active sportsman and woman in New York would read two things: this publication and DEC’s annual hunting and fishing regulations guides. OK, so that’s three things.
As for New York Outdoor News, our job is to inform and we try our best to stay on top of what’s going on with sporting issues in our state. The regulations guides, meanwhile, speak for themselves, and it amazes me how often I’ll read on an internet forum or a social media post where someone is asking someone else to explain a new law or regulation.
