Pesco-vegetarianism means you eat veggies and fish, and I do that as often as possible so I’m considered one of these at times. Carnivore, if I machinate the definition just abit means I’m an animal that eats other animals (not to be confused with a cannibal), so once again I feel included here.

It is time to bust out the handsaws and head into the woods for some serious trimming. Typically, my friends and I hit the woods during this time for pruning, clearing, and cutting. Trimming shooting lanes, scraping debris from ATV trails, and marking tree stand entry/exit routes is important to do within the coming weeks.

Sometimes this is because the family farm has been sold or the land you’ve always hunted for free has been leased to someone with a deep pocket book.

I've lost at least two good deer hunting areas to development since 1997. Obviously those areas also contained songbirds, small mammals, trees, shrubs, herbs, forbs (wildflowers), butterflies and other invertebrates. I've also noticed the destruction of good wildlife habitat (for housing or business development projects) in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and many other states. As a result of this I find myself becoming more interested in, and hopefully more knowledgeable about, both wildlife and habitat conservation.

If you have time to scout in the spring or summer the chances are the elk are not in the same area they will be when the hunting season opens. However, if you are looking for a big bull you can stay at home and do some work to help you find out where the large racked bulls have occurred in the past.

The fawns should be growing and following their mothers some of the time. The bucks are growing racks, and all the deer should be feeding on preferred foods.

As the truck neared the center of the hayfield I slowed down, and I heard my son Dallas say, "I hear geese." I'd heard the geese honking too and said, "Yeah, they roosted on the lake last night. If the wind keeps blowing from the northwest they should fly right toward us when they leave." About an hour later a flock of seven Canada geese came off the lake, heard our calling and saw our decoys, circled the decoys twice, and came in to land. Just before the geese touched down we shouldered our guns and fired, and four geese plummeted from the sky; we had our limit. A half hour later, after picking up our geese and our decoys, we were on our way home.

June is a time of optimism and hope, not only for anglers who may have spent much of May recovering from floods, but also for farmers who hurried to recoup lost time and are now crossing their fingers hoping the late spring will catch up and those memories will be erased by a good crop.

A mother father daughter trio hit the tri-fecta on some fine looking sunfish. Twenty per is the limit and they kept forty two which is well shy, but plenty. Dad not only paid me, but tossed in a nice tip. Smiles all around.

The season is just over a month long here in Maryland, but seemed to end too quickly this year.

Beefy Rio and Eastern birds throw down some of the most incredible strut, gobble, and fight action I’ve ever seen. For the past four years I’ve strutted my way down to north central Kansas to hunt with my dear friend David Schotte of Blue River Whitetails.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family
On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred Barta suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke affecting his T2-T10 vertebrae. Since there are only 12 of these Thoracic bones, that’s a very large area. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. Some medicos predict permanent paralysis while others have given him up to a 60-percent chance of at least partial recovery. His message to everyone is… “Don’t take a single second of your life for granted.”
