New York hunter reflects on rare opportunity to take massive Pennsylvania bull elk

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

Name your child “Hunter” and it’s almost inevitable the kid will grow up to be a sportsman.
So it is with Hunter Beiler, of Rexville, N.Y., (Steuben County), who said he’s been involved in hunting most of his life, along with the rest of his family.
Thus it was only natural the entire close-knit family would take part in Beiler’s greatest hunting triumph to date – putting an arrow through a massive Pennsylvania bull elk in September 2023.

New York Department of Environmental Conservation working to reestablish cisco in Keuka Lake

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

If you’re a New York angler and you don’t know anything about cisco, you aren’t alone.
In some states, cisco, which are classified as salmonids, are an important game fish. But they aren’t a major target for most anglers in New York, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation. They are, however, an important forage fish for other sport fish that New York anglers do pursue, and that’s why DEC plans to reestablish the species into the Finger Lakes, specifically Keuka Lake.

Remington’s 200-year run in Ilion, N.Y., facility concludes

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

Go to the official Village of Ilion (Herkimer County) website, and one of the first things you will see is the village motto, “Where tradition is preserved, while progress is achieved.”
For this village of 7,600 people, preserving that tradition will be a big challenge now that a huge chunk of Ilion’s identity is gone. Remington Arms, America’s oldest gun maker, has spent most of its 208-year existence headquartered in Ilion, but as of March 4, the iconic company’s local facility has gone dark.

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

Almost a year ago, New York’s popular pheasant propagation and stocking program, which annually provides more than 30,000 adult ringnecks for upland hunting enthusiasts statewide, was in jeopardy after a disease outbreak at the state’s lone game farm.
This year, the state Department of Environmental Conservation is taking steps to try and ensure that near crisis doesn’t happen again.

Beetles being used to help battle hemlock woolly adelgid in New York

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

It’s a tiny insect, only about 1.5 millimeters, or about 0.04 inches long.
But the impact of the hemlock woolly adelgid, an invasive species native to Asia, on hemlock trees in New York and elsewhere has been devastating. The state Department of Environmental Conservation, in partnership with Cornell University’s NYS Hemlock Initiative and other agencies, is using nature to fight back against the voracious bug.

New York landowners sought for grassland preservation to help state birds

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

Several grassland-dwelling songbirds in New York state face a threat to their survival as the habitat they rely on has been in decline.
State wildlife managers have worked to improve that habitat on state land, but say the vast majority of grasslands in the state are on private property. The Department of Environmental Conservation and other state and federal agencies collaborated to launch a program in 2008 designed to encourage landowners in specific target areas to convert more of their properties to grasslands, and now program managers are pushing for more participation.

New York sportsmen’s groups wary of public land usage study for Kaaterskill Clove area in eastern Catskills

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

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation is in the midst of a study into future best use practices at one of the most popular destinations in the Catskill Park, in a project closely watched by sportsmen and conservation groups.
Kaaterskill Clove is a deep gorge in the eastern Catskills, just west of the village of Palenville, in Greene County. The clove, estimated to be as much as one million years old, was formed by Kaaterskill Creek, and its scenic views make it a popular stop for hikers, photographers and artists.

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

A popular initiative that boosts pheasant hunting opportunities in Allegany County will go on as usual this year, despite a disease outbreak that threatened New York’s annual pheasant propagation and stocking program.
The Allegany County Pheasant Program is a collaboration between a group of private stakeholders and the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office, and since 2008 has supplemented ring-necked stocking by the state Department of Environmental Conservation with hundreds of additional birds and multiple available hunting locations.
