I’m writing this column amidst the traditional gun week for deer in Ohio.
If you will allow, I thought it would be fun to look back on the origins of the Buckeye State’s gun season. I was reminded of all this recently after reading an old news story from The Dayton Daily News by late outdoor writer Jim Robey.

It’s interesting when a kid born and raised in southeast Ohio makes his mark on the marshes and wetlands of northwest Ohio.
But, that’s the story for Jim Schott, the longtime manager of Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area. Ohio Outdoor News recently caught up with Schott on a drive home from a deer hunt in southern Ohio for the latest installment in our Outdoor Trailblazers feature.

LaDue Reservoir in far northeast Ohio is a bit unique in that the ODNR Division of Wildlife stocks walleyes in it.
The walleyes are doing OK right now, but the population of fish has been up and down over the past decade, according to Matt Wolfe, a fishery biologist for the Division of Wildlife in nearby Akron.

I want to solicit your opinion on something I’ve been thinking about.
I’m going to relay a poaching story here and I want you to think about and respond to me if you think the punishment that was handed down was fair or not. I’m soliciting your opinions because the online comments about this story ranged far and wide from too light of a sentence to overkill on the part of the judicial system.

The Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife has a new breed of fisheries biologists whose efforts are concentrated on wildlife diversity.
These men and women aren’t new to the Division of Wildlife, but their collective fisheries roles have been altered and added to slightly, says John Navarro, the division’s executive administrator for fish management and research.

If you’re looking to fish the main lake at Deer Creek Lake in south-central Ohio, you might run into some tough fishing.
But, head below the dam to the tailwater area and the action for a variety of species can be fast and furious.

I was truly impressed with the fellow who recently landed the new state record striper.
George Bruggeman, of New Carlisle down in southwest Ohio, was a true joy to interview. If you missed the story, you can read it here. Bruggeman’s 37-plus-pound striper from Kiser Lake in southwest Ohio broke a record that had stood for 32 years.
Lake Snowden in southeast Ohio is a unique body of water in that it offers fairly good fishing opportunities while also providing an education for natural resource students at Hocking College.
The 136-acre lake in Athens County was created in 1968 for the Margaret Creek Conservancy District with federal funds through the Farmer’s Home Administration and the Soil Conservation Service. It opened to the public in 1972, and Hocking College purchased it in 1998 to complement its natural resources programs.

Rob Beckman, of Cincinnati, has been a friend to Ohio Outdoor News for many years.
I’ve known he is a mover and a shaker in the outdoor world for a while now. Beckman has been a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) for better than 20 years. But, recently, not unlike a lot of others, Beckman hasn’t been pleased with the direction of the gun rights organization. So, he decided to do what he can to change that.
