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

Glenn Sapir: There was something special about a New York trout opener

I’ll admit that black bass are my favorite freshwater fish to pursue. It wasn’t always like that. At one time, stream trout fishing was tops on my list, and it was about now, in early March, that the anticipation would start to effervesce.
I would take out my tackle that had sat dormant since the previous autumn. If I were conscientious, I’d change the line on my spinning reels and inventory my terminal tackle. When I graduated to fly fishing, I would take similar care and accounting of my tackle, cleaning lines, checking on accessories and inventorying my collection of flies.

Glenn Sapir: Shed hunting an opportunity to “deer hunt” after official seasons have closed

In the fall and early winter, hunters are looking for deer wearing an impressive set of antlers. In the months that follow, an increasing number of outdoorsmen and women are looking for those same antlers no longer attached to the bucks. Shed hunting has become a sport unto its own.
In fact, dogs are being bred and trained to find sheds. Hunters are even making long trips to deer hunting meccas to seek their shed antlers.

Glenn Sapir: A camping caravan for the ages

Four buddies on a camping trip. You might be able to relate to that kind of opportunity to spend time afield with friends. Four men made such an outing almost every year between 1915 and 1924, and in 1916 the journey took three of them through the Catskills and the Adirondacks in New York.
This might not seem noteworthy, except for who these men were. Three were American business magnates and the fourth was perhaps the most famous naturalist to live in the Empire State.

Glenn Sapir: You never know whom you might meet when you are a hunter and a fisherman

As the year approaches its end, it is a good time to take pause and be thankful for all whom we have enjoyed not only during these past 12 months, but also during the many years of our lives.
For me, it is family and friends, of course, with whom I am most intimate. I remember former colleagues and am thankful for congregants at my house of worship with whom I share a special meaning of the word “community.” Folks who have accompanied, perhaps even guided, me afield hold a special place in my heart.

Glenn Sapir: Some pocket knives have more lives than a cat

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.

Glenn Sapir: Formula for longevity of oldest sporting club in the country could serve as a blueprint

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.
