And each in their own particular and peculiar way were special and spectacular. The second one – of course – is the most recent and familiar one for Ohioans, the event angling from southwest to northeast on April 8.

Ohio’s South Zone turkey hunters took advantage of good weather and an abundant crop of 2- and 3-year-old birds by connecting with 4,367 bearded gobblers and a small number of like-dressed hens. That figure is a generous up-tick from the 4,037 turkeys that were shot in this 83-county sector during the 2023 opening weekend.
For the first week of the season in the South Zone, the total harvest was 10,574.

Paul Palagyi casually swung his left hand toward the distant Fairport Harbor breakwater and adjacent iconic Grand River-West breakwater lighthouse: All maybe two-plus miles away.
Yet in a very real sense Palagyi’s vision extended far beyond that collective waypoint. Not in any actual physical distance but in the mental framing of time. Palagyi stood at the renovated Painesville Township Park in Ohio, an eastern Lake County multi-function site managed by Lake Metroparks, which the always enthusiastic-for-the-cause parks system’s executive director heads up.

Though sustained perfection is unattainable, consistent excellence is a worthy goal.
And for competitive archer Kylee Litner, 16, of Lake County’s Madison Township, Ohio, excellence is oft-times seen in her many X-ring strikes. Kylee participates as a member of the Geauga County-based Knocking Point Archers, a group of both male and female archery target shooters that include youths. They practice at least twice a week at the Ohio Archery Learning Center in Chester Township.

“Thou shalt not covet …” (The 10th Commandment)
It was an expressed point of view I had long coveted to hear from Grace, our oldest grandchild fisherperson. “Whew, my arms are tired,” said Grace Rathe, 22. “They hurt.”
Grace had just landed a trophy Lake Ontario lake trout, the fish having swam up the Lower Niagara River to where it spirals into a narrow cauldron of angry water aptly named “Devil’s Hole.”

A direct hit by a 2022 law change to Ohio’s concealed carry permit (CCW) and training requirement started to sink that battleship that year and finished it off in 2023.
This information is gleaned from a report compiled by the Ohio Attorney General. It is required by state statute and must be submitted to Ohio’s governor and the leaders of the General Assembly.

Sometimes dreams and wishes really do come true, and if you don’t believe that, just ask 13-year-old Sam Spataro of Lake County’s Mentor-on-the-Lake in Ohio.
On March 8 while fishing his favorite spot located at the Mentor Lagoons – one of the Great Lakes’ largest natural small-boat harbors that has direct access to Lake Erie – the youthful angler caught a 45-inch northern pike. And then after his (slightly) older brother Luca and an older fishing friend snapped a few photos, Sam did what’s he’s always done with the big fish he catches. He released it back into the water.
While the idea of using the fracking/drilling windfall to buy Ohio DNR commissioned officers Cadillac Escalades is a bit much, certainly keeping roughly $60 million out of the paws of salivating politicians will prove daunting.
Such concern is prudent, too, given what’s happening in both Nebraska and Wyoming, which we will soon see. The Ohio money is – basically – a signing bonus resulting from the allowing of horizontal fracking approved during a midnight end run by the Ohio General Assembly to allow such activity on state-owned property.
