A proposed law in New York would ban coyote hunts, and the animal rights groups supporting the legislation believe the events are harmful to the resource. The truth is, organized coyote hunts have very little impact on the canines, and the numbers bear it out.

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is taking a new approach to a dozen streams that are managed for both stocked and wild trout, and they hope the measure appeases anglers who fish for both.
The 12 stream sections are designated as Class A wild brown trout streams that are also stocked with hatchery-raised rainbow trout. The agency doesn’t mind if the stocked trout are harvested, but they hope to spare the wild brown population without limiting angling opportunities.

A state legislator is questioning the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s sponsorship of a Sprint Series race car driven by the agency’s marketing director’s daughter’s boyfriend, but the commission says the partnership checks all the right promotional boxes.

The divide that exists among hunters is real, and it became wider when the new antlerless license issuing system opened up on June 26 in Pennsylvania.
Hunters lined up at stores, and others waited for excruciatingly long periods in front of their computers in an attempt to get an antlerless license right off the bat. The system slowed – some say it crashed – and the lines and waits grew longer.

The property of a former hunting camp in Pike County has become a significant expansion to the Delaware State Forest.
The 555-acre parcel, located near Bushkill, Pa., was purchased by The Conservation Fund during an auction in July 2021 and is now under the ownership and management of the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. According to Kyle Shenk, northeast regional director with The Conservation Fund, the fact that the property was under the stewardship of a hunting club for generations brought many benefits.

Senior hunters in Pennsylvania may soon join their junior counterparts when it comes to antler restrictions.
A new bill (House Bill 493) introduced by state Rep. David Maloney, R-Berks, would remove antler restrictions for those hunters ages 65 and older. Currently, only junior hunters, mentored youth, disabled hunters with a permit to use a vehicle and resident active-duty military personnel are exempt from the restriction.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission board voted to delay the next step of the American Marten Reintroduction Plan while a survey on public opinion is completed.
During the board’s July 8 quarterly meeting, commissioners were expected to vote on a proposal to make the reintroduction plan available for public review. However, board President Kristen Schnepp-Giger said a public opinion survey being conducted by the Virginia-based Responsive Management is expected to be completed in the coming months.

Of all the canine furbearers, I get why some people mistake a coyote for a domestic dog.
Depending on the pelt coloration, and even vocalizations, domestic dogs and coyotes have some similarities. Behavior, however, shouldn’t be a common bond. Around our farm, coyotes have been a common sight for years. They howl from the fields at night – something I used to consider a neat serenade but now is more of a raucous annoyance.
