Glenn Sapir: Traditions are a foundation of outdoor pursuits

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

Every outdoorsperson thirsts for that once-in-a-lifetime hunting or fishing trip. It could be a fly-fishing adventure on a famed Western river, a peacock bass pursuit in the Amazon or, perhaps, an elk hunt in the Rockies.
They are all worthy of a dream, but what has fueled my dreams are not first-time adventures that I long for, but, instead, activities that I’ve done before and I look forward to doing again, year after year.

Glenn Sapir: Give me some of that outdoor religion

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

Two subjects that I don’t discuss with anyone other than family and close friends are politics and religion. They are personal, and I long ago concluded that what I think might be the most persuasive points I can put forth will not influence anybody’s thinking.
If you’ve read this column every month, then after several years perhaps you consider me a friend. That’s the way I used to feel about some of the writers who contributed to my favorite outdoor publications, so perhaps I can share with you a few thoughts about religion connected to the outdoor experience.

Glenn Sapir: Time spent with the ‘Big Three’ of outdoor magazines holds special memories

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

As I write this column for the most popular outdoors publication in New York State, I think about my relationship not only with New York Outdoor News, but also other sporting periodicals. Being 77 years of age, I have a long history upon which to reminisce, and the memories are uplifting.
In the 1950s my relationship began, when as a preteen I actually received a letter in the mail. Any piece of mail addressed to me was exciting, but to receive an offer for three issues of Outdoor Life Magazine for 25 cents was tremendous.

Glenn Sapir: The big buck surprise arrives after some disappointment

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

They say even a blind squirrel finds an acorn, and this year, my acorn came in the form of a big-buck surprise.
I’d eagerly anticipated the regular firearms season in New York’s Southern Zone. My season would open at my hunting club’s property in Callicoon in Sullivan County, and bowhunting club members, as well as various trail cameras, had visual evidence that some big bucks were prowling the hardwood uplands.

Glenn Sapir: Memories from a hunter’s 65 straight years tagging a buck

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Illinois, National Hunting, New York, Pennsylvania /

Winning streaks in sports are always exciting to witness.
When they come to an end, fans root for the next, even longer streak. One record streak, in baseball, that most believe will never be topped is Joe DiMaggio’s 56-consecutive-game hit streak. Another seemingly unbeatable streak, during which I witnessed many of the successes, is my good friend John Miller’s 65 consecutive years of harvesting at least one buck.

Glenn Sapir: Does? Or Don’t? That is the whitetail hunter’s question

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

With the regular firearms season about to open in New York’s Southern Zone, where I do my deer hunting, I can’t wait to get back on stand.
No need to tell you, if you are a deer hunter, why we anticipate every outing in the deer woods.
For me, the chance to fill the freezer with tasty venison is one of the several reasons I’m out there. If I am fortunate to fill my buck tag, then I am well on my way to fulfilling my need for deer meat.

Glenn Sapir: Mentors needed to bring more minorities into the outdoors

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

This is the most colorful time to be outdoors. When you look up, you revel in the red, yellow, orange and purple that light up the trees.

On the ground, however, at least in my experience, the view is usually monochromatic. That sole color is white, the skin tone of the outdoor enthusiasts, especially hunters and anglers, whom I might encounter. I can attribute several possible reasons minorities seemingly are not well represented among hunters and anglers.

Glenn Sapir: My two favorite hunting shows

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

In May of 2024, my turkey hunting season was winding down. I was on a fishing outing on the Pepacton Reservoir, in Delaware County, N.Y., with my good friend Bob Shubert.
After our first afternoon of smallmouth fishing, we went back to Bob’s sportsman’s house in Downsville to relax. His “second home” lacks for nothing, including a big-screen television. When Bob turned it on and switched to one of his favorite programs, a new season of hunting for me immediately began.
