Jeffrey Frischkorn: Local rod, gun clubs are a time-honored tradition

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, National Fishing, National Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /

Members of Ohio’s conservation/sportsmen/rod and gun clubs are often viewed by politicians and pro-fish and wildlife management groups as shock troops. Yet, such a view blurs the bottom line for belonging to a club.
Even so, a cadre of individuals aren’t shy about adding how their membership role is still more than a mile wide and certainly more than just a foot deep. And that all-hands-on deck view is more than just a symbiotic relationship, too.

Jeffrey Frischkorn: End-of-year rabbit hunt a symphony for the ears

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Ohio /

The lady-like baying of Willow stirred half-century-plus-old memories. Fond ones, of course.
Very fond ones, to be exact. Consumed with the thrill of chasing rabbits with an excited hound, nothing stood in the way of pursuing this premier upland game. Even as a start-up hunter some 60 years ago.

Consumers hit in wallet for foreign tackle

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, National News, News, Ohio /

Even in these times of economic uncertainty – particularly as it relates to imported goods – a lighted fiscal candle is providing a glimmer of hope that is illuminating one sector of the country’s collective wallet.
Using data collected in 2024 – the latest available due to the methodology of collecting and analyzing information – the economic impact of outdoors recreation increased to $1.3 trillion (that’s with a “T”), up from 2023’s $1.2 trillion.

Jeffrey Frischkorn: This firearm made a recent hog hunt more special

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Ohio /

The boar was not so big, though hardly a (formerly) squealing little piglet. Not by Florida wild hog hunting standards.
At maybe 100 pounds, the boar thus fell under the unofficial heading of being called a “meat hog.” Just a wee bit heavier than average perhaps, but a meat hog just the same. I’ve taken my share of heavyweight hogs and not just in Florida where I hunt such critters but in Texas, also. And my largest boar to-date came a few years ago in east Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains.

Jeff Frischkorn: Ohio outdoorsmen submit wish lists for 2026

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /

Every two years, Ohio’s executive and legislative branches try to get on the same page in determining what needs to be built.
That sort of budget building is different from the state’s biennial operating budget, which is typically done in odd-numbered years. Operating budgets are designed to help ensure that the wheels of government keep going round and round.

More than 13,000 deer fall during Ohio’s muzzleloader hunt

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

Ohio’s 2026 muzzleloader hunters killed 421 fewer animals than they did during its 2025 counterpart. Still, a harvest of 13,055 whitetails is nothing to sneeze at, either.
Even so, both years showed declines from their respective three-year averages. And, it must be noted, too, that several southeast Ohio countries recorded steep declines. This steep slide no doubt was due to heavy tolls on deer caused last summer by a rampant breakout of the nearly-always fatal viral infection Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, or EHD.
