Featured, Fishing, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

Nathan Martin IV and Gunnar Morris live on nearly opposite sides of New York state, and while Nathan is a relatively new sportsman, Gunnar is already an accomplished angler.
But they also have a lot in common. Both are members of the Outdoor News Junior Pro Team, and both achieved noteworthy outdoor accomplishments this year.

Retailers eye crossbow sales with expanded use for hunters on the horizon in New York

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

While bowhunting enthusiasts wait to see if Gov. Kathy Hochul will sign new legislation that would significantly expand the legal use of crossbows for hunting in New York, archery retailers across the state are anticipating a surge in demand for the sometimes-controversial weapon.
After years of political maneuvering, and opposition from groups that believe crossbows give hunters an advantage other archers don’t have, both houses of the state legislature overwhelmingly approved a bill this session that would redefine crossbows as longbows, and regulate their use in similar fashion to longbows, recurve bows and compound bows.

New York’s boaters, anglers encouraged to treat launch stewards cordially

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

If you are a boating enthusiast interested in making sure you don’t spread aquatic invasive species, (AIS) there is an army of willing volunteers available to help show you how.
Boat stewards are volunteers or paid members of the community who provide boaters with information about precautions that can reduce the spread of harmful AIS, but there are apparently some people who resist that effort and don’t treat the stewards kindly.

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

As the old saying goes “Those who can – do. Those who can’t – teach.”
Gary Neal figured out a way to excel at both after he picked up a bow and arrow, becoming first a successful competition archer, and then a sought-after coach. Several of Neal’s students have thrived under his guidance as well, and Neal’s prowess is recognized at the national level.

New York 16-year-old lives up to his name in winning trapshooting national championship

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

Name your kid “Napoleon” and he might just grow up to forge an empire.
Christen him “Remington?” Clearly he is destined to become a shooting champion. So it is with Remington Rupert, a 16-year-old high school junior, and son of Scott and Charity Rupert from Croghan, (Lewis County) who recently proved his mettle with a shotgun by capturing the Amateur Trapshooting Association’s 2025 Southern Grand Junior Handicap Championship at the Silver Dollar Shooting Club in Odessa, Florida.

New York DEC changing St. Lawrence River walleye management, causing concern for some anglers

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

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is changing the way it manages the walleye fishery in the St. Lawrence River, but not everyone is happy with the overhaul.
For the last 20 years, DEC fisheries, along with volunteers from two local clubs, led the walleye stocking effort in St. Lawrence County. The St. Lawrence Valley Sportsman Club, based in Ogdensburg, was primarily responsible for overseeing the process from fertilized eggs to when they hatched until they were fry.

Ilion, N.Y., moving forward a year after Remington plant closes

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

John Burns worked at the Remington Arms plant in Ilion (Herkimer County, N.Y) for 13 years, working his way up the ranks through various maintenance and supervisory positions.
But when the legendary gun maker ran into financial troubles – including a period where Burns and the rest of the staff were laid off before eventually being called back – Burns realized he needed some stability in his life and a reliable job.
“I saw the writing on the wall,” said Burns.
Ever since Eliphalet Remington II moved his 12-year-old gun-making business to a 200-acre site along the Erie Canal in 1828, the presence of one of the most iconic names in firearms in Ilion for nearly two centuries gave the village of 7,600 people a unique distinction.

Cornell study finds contaminants common in northeast waterfowl

If you are an avid waterfowler who enjoys a good dinner of roast duck or goose, you might want to know about a recent study conducted by Cornell University in New York.
Working in collaboration with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, Cornell researchers tested five species of popular waterfowl in the northeast Atlantic Flyway, and reported finding contaminants in every sample, chemicals that could impact the health of both the birds and the hunters and others who consume them.

New York’s Sullivan County sportsmen’s club adjusts after state’s ban on coyote hunting contests

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

Ever since New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed S.4099/A.2917 in December 2023 – an amendment to the state’s environmental conservation law that “makes certain hunting contests, competitions, tournaments, and derbies that allow for the take of large numbers of wildlife” illegal –  many organizations that relied on those contests for fundraising knew they had to find alternatives.
Among those is the Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs of Sullivan County, which relied heavily on its annual coyote hunting contest to help fund federation programs.
