There’s really, in many ways, something for every sportsman and woman at the High Tor Wildlife Management Area.
That’s perhaps not surprising, given the sheer size of the tract that includes portions of both Ontario and Yates counties.

If you’re looking for a big-woods deer hunt, the Adirondacks are a great place to do just that.
But you don’t have to go there. Or to the Catskills. New York State’s Southern Tier is actually home to the single largest wildlife management area in the state – the 11,237-acre Connecticut Hill WMA that spans parts of Tompkins and Schuyler counties.

I’ve always been a follower of science-based wildlife management, and over the years have generally been supportive of the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s decision-making when it comes to season setting, bag limits and other regulations.
But I have to admit that when the commission announced its lineup of Sunday hunting dates on the heels of Gov. Shapiro’s signing into law legislation that put the decision rightfully in the hands of the commission, I did scratch my head a bit.

Gary was perfectly fine with not bringing home a moose on our Newfoundland hunt last month. It was that good of a hunt, that good of an adventure, from the arduous trip itself to the daily trudging across the spectacular landscape to the endless glassing in an effort to find a bull.
It had been, in fact, a great week, one that actually stretched into two with travel to the island and then back home, lengthy drives parlayed with ferry crossings for me and flights from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Deer Lake, Newfoundland, and back for Gary as he avoided his customary motion sickness.

A major wastewater discharge from the Great Lakes Cheese plant in August that caused a widespread fish kill in Ischua Creek was seemingly the worst since the facility began operations in late 2024.
But it wasn’t the first. Records from the Environmental Protection Agency show the company self-reported numerous violations of its wastewater permit as early as December 2024, almost immediately after the Cattaraugus County facility began its cheese-making operations.

An old Newfoundland moose-hunting guide said it best, and in simple fashion so typical of these hard-working folks, when talking about the potential for success on any hunt:
“Even where there’s a lot of them, there ain’t many of ’em.” He was right, but that’s a tough sell to a visiting hunter full of optimism.

I’m a forward-thinking sportsman, so I’m always looking forward to an upcoming hunting season. That’s especially true this year since I’m getting an early start by accompanying a buddy on his Newfoundland moose hunt.
Long Island’s Calverton Pine Barrens State Forest is, at 191 acres, certainly not the biggest state-owned parcel in the state.

Most turkey hunters consider it a springtime game, when the longbeards are thundering on the roost and you’re calling them into shotgun range. Over the years an entire legion of obsessed gobbler pursuers has grown, some so consumed by the birds they would rather hunt them than whitetails.
But turkey hunting can be a fall game as well, with most states offering fall seasons of varying lengths, although some have been trimmed in recent years due to a downturn in turkey numbers.
Fall turkey hunting is worth stepping down from the deer stand for Read More »
