Molly and Riley, on this day, are happy to be back at work, happy that deer season is finally over and happy it’s time to pursue pheasants again.
They love their work, and don’t really know they’re working as they quarter the fields and bust through thick cover with boundless energy and pure joy.

Seasoned turkey hunters, those with decades of experience, can recall their successful hunts with amazing clarity.
But even more so do they remember so vividly the misses, those times when the gobbler ran off after the shot went awry at the moment of truth. You – and I – likely didn’t get down on the stock and line up your shotgun’s bead on the longbeard’s head and neck. A red dot scope undoubtedly would have helped.

I’ve used a lot of different rifles during my 50-plus years of deer hunting. Early on in my hunting life that was because the only firearm I owned was a Harrington & Richardson Topper Junior 20 gauge shotgun. So, when deer season rolled around I carried whatever rifle my Uncle Cecil handed me.
That was fine with me; I was just happy he or my brother-in-law Don took me afield.

Our 16 years in the Adirondacks came to a close in 2013 when we returned to the flatlands of the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, straddling the state line and often hunting both sides of the border on the same day.
Our time in the Adirondacks was memorable, and there’s a lot we still miss today.

Cross Lake, at times, may be a bit overlooked as an angling destination.
That’s perfectly understandable, with several of the Finger Lakes – including red-hot Cayuga Lake – located to the south, and the much larger and better known Oneida Lake to the east, on the other side of Syracuse.

slice – and a pretty big slice at that – of state-owned land located just a few miles from a moderately sized city pretty much guarantees the parcel will see plenty of visitors.
That’s the case at the 2,507-acre Erwin Wildlife Management Area, a DEC tract a mere five miles outside of the Steuben County city of Corning.
It is Saturday, Dec. 6, 7:15 a.m., the second Saturday of Pennsylvania’s firearms deer season.
My wife, Paula, has been settled into her tree stand for the past hour as she looks to connect on a buck or fill another antlerless deer tag for Wildlife Management Unit 3C. I am at home, doing laundry. We arrived at this situation through a series of events.

It’s debatable whether Blydenburgh Lake is better known as New Mill Pond or vice versa.
And let’s not forget the 111-acre Suffolk County lake is also known to some as Weld’s Pond or Stump Pond. Since the water is located within Smithtown’s Blydenburgh County Park, let’s go with Blydenburgh for now.

While the Allegany County tract is sizable and offers some fine hunting opportunities, within the state forest is Allen Lake itself, a 58-acre impoundment that draws its share of anglers, notably in the spring when the lake is stocked with trout.
