Dan Ladd: Camping in the eye of Tropical Storm Debby

Featured, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York /

Adrienne and I are getting used to camping in the rain. After nearly three decades of spending at least one weekend a month, and the occasional extended vacation, going on summer camping trips, we’ve resolved ourselves to the fact that somewhere along the way we’re going to get wet.
That’s why most of our trips are three-nighters, which hopefully tips the odds our way for at least some fair weather.

New York’s Moreau Lake State Park grows via 860-acre Big Bend Preserve

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

A long-anticipated 860-acre expansion of Moreau Lake State Park, in Saratoga County, N.Y., has come to fruition.
In July, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the opening of the Big Bend Preserve at the park which includes a 6-mile trail system that permeates the tract, and in places, parallels the Hudson River.

Dan Ladd: Get informed before New York’s hunting seasons arrive

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, New York, Opinion /

If I had my way, every sportsmen in New York thoroughly would read two publications… three actually. These would be the one you’re holding in your hands (or reading electronically), along with the state’s hunting, fishing and trapping regulations guides.
At this time, hunters especially should read everything they can about the state’s new plain paper sporting licenses.

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

Bear hunters in New York taking to the woods this fall should expect things to be much like they’ve been the past two hunting seasons.
State wildlife officials, with few exceptions, expect the forthcoming bear seasons in both the Northern and Southern Zones to be on par with those of 2022 and 2023, and years immediately prior.

The Old Forge area, in the west-central region of the Adirondacks, is a popular place throughout the entire year. And it especially shines during the summer months and even into the fall thanks to places like Nick’s Lake, and its accompanying state campground.

RFK Jr. behind 2014 New York City dead bear discovery; did he break New York roadkill rules?

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

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted last weekend that in 2014 he had retrieved a bear cub that was killed by a motorist and then left it in New York’s Central Park with a bicycle on top, sparking a mystery that consumed the city.
Various news outlets, including the Associated Press, reported that Kennedy described the incident in a video that was posted to social media Aug. 4, adding it will be included in a forthcoming New Yorker article that he expects to be damaging. What too may be damaging is that Kennedy acted unlawfully by transporting the animal without the proper authorization, as well as for dumping it in New York City.

Dan Ladd: Rethinking antlerless deer harvest in New York

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

With sporting licenses now on sale, the opportunity is there to apply for antlerless deer tags, or Deer Management Permits as they’re known. And after my annual summer deer and bear chat with DEC biologist Brendan Quirion, I’m getting a sense that we hunters might want to make a little more effort to fill them.
