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.

Glenn Sapir: What can one acre in New York’s Putnam Valley attract? Camera reveals plenty

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

Learning that I live on only one-acre in a subdivision a mere 50 miles from midtown Manhattan, you might think my property is barren of wildlife.
Of course, I always knew that wasn’t the case. I’ve seen and even successfully hunted deer and turkeys in my backwoods. We are overrun with gray squirrels, and perhaps two or three times a year I will hear coyotes screeching at night. I’ve lived in our house for 50 years, but it wasn’t until I put up a trail camera that I discovered the variety of wildlife that travel to and through our backwoods.

Glenn Sapir: An enjoyable experience and incredible fishing from a party boat

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

I have fished out of a variety of watercraft, ranging from a two-man, front-to-back pontoon “bass boat” and kayaks, canoes and johnboats to high-powered bass boats and large, roomy pontoon boats, to six-pack charters, that is, sportfishermen licensed to hold up to six anglers.
The biggest boats I have fished from, joined by the most people, however, have been party boats, otherwise known as head boats or open boats. They provide the best bargain you will likely find if you want to go fishing and you don’t have your own boat.

Glenn Sapir: A patch of green shows some potential as a food plot

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

When it grows up, it might qualify as a food plot. And this year, I do expect to expand it by a few feet, but by anybody’s measurement, the green oasis on the back of my property is nothing more than a patch. Nevertheless, in its first year of existence, it showed its potential, bringing in both does and bucks.
This food patch was conceived last year when I was reading the edition of New York Outdoor News that had just come in my mailbox.

Glenn Sapir: Bubblegum pink plastic worm has earned its reputation as a bass-catching favorite

Featured, Features, Fishing, Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News, National Fishing, New York /

When the bass harvest season opens on June 15 in New York, I can predict which lures I will have tied on my line. I will have four spinning outfits ready to go, each with one of my old faithful artificial baits.
Of the possible baits, one is a sure bet. Ready to be cast will be a 5-inch plastic worm rigged wacky style, that is, with the hook point going in and coming out of the worm at about the midway point. The bait brand will be either a Senko or Gajo, the latter manufactured right here in New York.

There are advantages to hunting the late season for turkeys

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

Your anticipation is peaking as the turkey season approaches, and the electricity running through your body is at high voltage as you step into the turkey woods in the early-morning darkness of opening day.
All of that enthusiasm might be rewarded with success. Then again, disappointment may substitute for fulfillment. With each day of close calls or no action at all, the nervousness that you might not fill a tag begins to affect your psyche.

Glenn Sapir: Tips to help you find places to turkey hunt in New York

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

If you are brand new to turkey hunting or if you have just moved to your part of New York, then you face a similar problem: where to hunt?
Today’s prospective turkey hunter has a lot more aids to answer that question than I did when I started turkey hunting in the last millennium. That’s when wild turkeys were first appearing in huntable populations, and few people knew much, if anything, about them.
