Not long after I had settled into the treestand assigned to me, three deer came into range. The doe, large for that area, and her two fawns fed on the corn kernels that had been scattered in the open area, an easy shot from my stand.

It’s said that a cat has nine lives. If true, that is impressive, but it doesn’t come close to the lives my pocket knife has. That little knife has been lost and given up for “gone” more times than I can remember.
Usually it goes missing for only a few days. I think two or three weeks may have been the longest period of time before it showed up again. I should realize by now that, just like a cat that always comes home, my knife, too, will reappear and come back into my life.

On Sept. 28, outdoor enthusiasts will be observing National Hunting and Fishing Day, when anglers and hunters celebrate their heritage and the contributions they have made to wildlife, habitat and recreational opportunities as individuals and as organized sportsmen and women.
One organization in New York certainly has made its mark on that history as being the oldest continuously operating club in the United States.
When I was a teen, one of my favorite songs was a Beach Boys ballad, “In My Room.” The lyrics told that his room was a special place where the singer could go. I could relate.

For many outdoorsmen, the action occurs in the three seasons other than winter. Those cold months might be when they long for those other seasons, perhaps even dreaming about them. I’m a little different. I do my dreaming now.
Yes, I love what spring, summer and autumn allow me to do outdoors, but I have been blessed to be able to enjoy virtually every day outdoors during the winter months. For the last few years my wife and I, in retirement, have spent February and March in a rental home in southwest Florida.

My brother Don is a nationally renowned labor lawyer, specializing in discrimination cases. But when it comes to the proposal to implement a black bass fishing tournament permitting system, Mike Cusano presents his concerns in a way that perhaps not even the best attorney could match.
Cusano, who lives in Clay, N.Y., is not a lawyer. He is a business analyst for Syracuse University, a fishing guide, a bass and walleye tournament fishermen and a sportsmen’s leader and advocate, serving for four years as president of the New York Bass Federation, president of the Salt City Bassmasters for nine years and currently chairman of the Onondaga County Fisheries Advisory Board.
June is a month to celebrate, and each day of the month has been set aside for several different celebrations. The honors begin on June 1 with Oscar the Grouch Day and Global Running Day, among others, and go right through the month to June 30, which is National Handshake Day and National Corvette Day. I kid you not.
To me, June, however, is Black Bass Month. One thing special about June is that it contains the longest days of the year. That means fishing for hours after an early dinner.

Some people might consider me an expert turkey hunter. I’ve hunted them for some 45 years. I’ve shared the woods with some of the greatest turkey hunters of our time. I’ve hunted turkeys in 11 states. I achieved the Grand Slam in one spring. I even wrote a very popular book about turkey hunting called Secrets of the Turkey Pros.
All of those credentials might seem impressive, but they haven’t shielded me from making mistakes as a turkey hunter. Perhaps, by my sharing some of my regrettable moments in the turkey woods, you will avoid making the same mistakes.

An editor contacted me in late January, asking if I would write an article for his publication. It had a spring publication date, so he asked if I would write an article on turkey hunting. I had carte blanche on the specific topic, but as an aside, he asked me, “Have you been seeing less turkeys while you have been deer hunting?”
