How to use your dog effectively for fall turkey hunting

September 22, 2025. It is the equinox when the sun is directly over the equator with equal length of day in the northern and southern hemisphere marking the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere and the start of fall in the northern hemisphere.
“Fall is when a young man’s fancy turns to hunting,” wrote Alfred Lord Tennyson. It’s time to pick up Dad’s shotgun and the beagles to go chasing after rabbits, partridge and turkeys.

Floating the Delaware River — a northeastern water with many attractions

We’ve all heard of George Washington crossing the Delaware River and surprising the Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War. I have crossed the Delaware scores of times, usually to get to a job site, a recreational event, or to visit family.
The river has been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as one of the country’s Great Waters and has been called the “Lifeblood of the Northeast” by American Rivers. I have heard many tales and read dozens of articles about the excellent fishing opportunities along the Delaware River.

Deer drive conducted to usher out whitetails at preserve enclosure in New York

Over 100 volunteers recently gathered to conduct a “deer drive” to remove deer from a 30-acre area about to be enclosed and preserved. The effort seeks to protect the future enclosure from deer so that native trees and vegetation can thrive.
The enclosure will be part of the nearly 100-acre Hillside, located near additional lands that make up approximately 300 acres of the Hillside Woods. The park and woods is a popular recreation area in the Westchester County village.

After nearly going extinct, vinyl record players are making their way back into the mainstream. Vinyl isn’t just coming back, it’s here to stay. Vinyl records nearly doubled in volume, from 27.5 million albums in 2020 to 41.7 million in 2021.
Unlike vinyl records, Victrola motors, used in older vinyl record players, are a rarity. Lake trout and walleye fishermen like Mark Clemente and Dave Kohler, both of Gloversville, have replaced their rods and reels with converted Victrola motors that they have modified for their use.
