I am all in favor of the pause and maintaining the balance between Gov't and industries be them green or not. The Mallard numbers in the East continue their 10 + year slide. Finding and correcting the reasons for it will be beneficial for all species hopefully. The task force meeting is in a...

Just sign up for the E-mail,you'll get everything. I have not been informed on the mallard take for 21. the state of the Mallard pop. will be discussed at the March meeting. I have heard nothing that would indicate a change yet.

I just read them on the DEC web site. It looks to affect west central, east central, Northeast Champlain and Hudson valley zones. I'm not sure about the southern zone or Long Island . I will learn more at our meeting in March

Following the Atlantic flyway recommendations Ny will be going to 30/1 for the 2021 season due to increased harvest percentage. Hopefully this will help the AP birds breeding pair numbers and prevent a repeat of the closed season's of the 90's. Not sure if it will affect the Sept resident...

I am just hearing about the Final Flight Outfitters incident at Reelfoot Lake Tennessee that lead to the death of 3 hunters and another in critical condition. I don't know if it was over a spot or setting up to close. Such a tragic loss of life

Good morning Anthony , I lived in Hyde park & Beacon in the 60's and early 70's ,got the see the clean up of the river and the return of the blue crab . I will making the trip back down to hunt in the Hudson area

good luck Anthony , The season are now set by a computer matrix, i think this is year 3 of a 5 year trial. we are getting rain now and wind hopefully once it shifts back to NW it will bring birds to all. We close on the 25th I think and I'm sure we will be covered in birds then[smile]. I...

Steve, I 've had the same problem with getting the actual HIp number. Traditionally the number ends with your birth year. I went to the site , click on buy HIP , no charge, click on the down arrow and the transaction number comes up. I put that on my license until the real one comes in the...

Logged on and re-registered , I had to wait to get my annual Lifetime to arrive to apply for my HIP. Just gave me a receipt number for the transaction. Typical NYS custer At least now the license year and HIP start on the same date. time to go brush up the blind and set some stands

Rick , that has been my experience as well. Had 2 bird hunters come in a state field I was set up on and they pushed 3 deer bedding down past me. I never would have seen them. They came over and we had a nice visit. Most encounters I have a field have been positive with the exception of "the...

We had a flock in the canoe area this past week northern Adirondacks. First for me

Ny is looking more and more like nothing is going to open. State camp grounds still haven't posted an opening date for over night stays . We 'll know more after Memorial day I hope. Large events are most likely not going to happen. I hope they open up for the fishing guides soon,those guys are...

As Rick said it is county by county in NYS. I have an unrestricted CC , I can travel to any county except the 5 . I find it unfair that I can go to other counties and have more rights than land owners in that county. but that's the way it's set up. Some counties are much harder than here in the...

The NE task force just met and we submitted our recommendations for the youth hunt as well as a 2 day hunt for Veterans. This will be the first year Ny will have a Veteran hunt,as such the dates may change from year to year. We picked these dates to stay true to our mission of giving hunters...

good luck Kyle! I have enjoyed Pete's tales of hunting with you in Canada. I hope you worked out something for guiding season with the new boss so I can finally make it up to experience it first hand.

Phil I would look into a Momarsh for the type of hunting you describe. I hunt out of one with my dog behind me. You can put a small motor on it or use a Kayak paddle. They are very stable

Never to many boats,they are like shoes . The right boat for the task,16 and counting

My Hunting partner hauled a Duck hunter out of the dump, someone had drill holes in the bottom when it sunk from excess rain water. It needed new gunnels and a little patching but "If it's free it's me" has always been my mantra when it comes to light weight canoes. I have never spent more than...
