This past couple of weeks I’ve been getting my worm wet trying to catch some steelhead. Lucky for me where I live, I have most of southern Lake Ontario and eastern Lake Erie within reasonable driving distance (Which is not reasonable but totally worth it). This year I have done the most steelhead fishing IContinueContinue reading “Steelhead In The Great Lakes: How Did They Get There?”

Federal Duck Stamp
The other day I met an older woman who happened to be a pretty accomplished bird watcher. I was talking to a buddy of mine about ducks when she jumped into the conversation and I was surprised to hear how well she knew her waterfowl. We talked for a solid hour about our experiences, whatContinueContinue reading “Federal Duck Stamp”

This is a story that has been ten years in the making. When I was 13, I finally got my feet wet and got my hunting license. That fall was my first time ever bowhunting for whitetails. I remember it clear as day the first time I ever went out bow hunting. I fell asleep,ContinueContinue reading “11/7/19-11/13/19 Part 1”

Second, being an unwritten code between hunters (which I guessContinueContinue reading “10/24/19-10/30/19”

This week was the first week I ever hunted out of state. Over the weekend I made the trek down to Pennsylvania in a suburb outside of Philadelphia to do some small game hunting. On the target list for this weekend was squirrels and doves. Which I have never hunted doves before so it wasContinueContinue reading “10/17/19-10/23/19”

Almost losing the tip of my pointer finger was a great way to start this week. The plan for this week was to get out of Western New York and head to the Adirondacks for some waterfowl hunting, trout, and landlocked salmon fishing. My family has a little cabin in the mountains of the AdirondacksContinueContinue reading “10/9/19-10/16/19”
