Water color at Pat Mayse is OK for now, although I don’t know yet what the melted snow run-off did. I’m pretty sure it will be OK on the color, but the water temps dropped lower than I can remember.Â
Spring turkey hunting at its core seems pretty basic; the hunter goes to the woods or fields where turkeys live, mimics the sounds of a lovesick hen with his call and ultimately shoots a big gobbler.
Citizens are encouraged to report observations so that biologists can better understand the impacts of Winter Storm Uri to natural resources.
This arctic blast has put our fishing on hold for now because our lakes are almost impossible to even get to. So, it’s a great time to arrange your tackle and get your springtime gear in shape.
Many folks share my inherent feelings about predator; we dislike them because of their nature but know they are an intricate part of the natural world. They are genetically programmed to kill to survive.
Well, according to our weather forecast, it looks like we are about to get a taste of winter. This could be good because you can bet the fish already know this, and they could be putting on the feedbag.
Just try to find a box of 9 mm or .223 ammo, it’s as scarce as hen’s teeth. If you can find it, it might be necessary to take out a loan on the homestead just to purchase a few boxes.
Rain and high winds continue to keep a lot of fishermen off the water. If you study your lake maps, you’ll find several spots on most of our area lakes that have protected coves. Those coves might not be your first choice, but you might find that they’ll be rewarding, plus you’ll learn more …
For one who spends time outdoors through all the seasons in pursuit of fish and game and the simple elation of being out there, I must admit I love the dead of winter best of all. I know there are those who favor autumn when the leaves are aglow or spring when the woods are coming alive, but…
High winds and cold rain have kept a lot of fishermen off the lake. Even though these tough conditions are far from ideal, especially with water temperatures on most of our area lakes in the high 40s to low 50s, it’s still the best time to catch that fish of a lifetime.Â
As a lifelong hunter/shooter, I’ve been purchasing ammo since I was a teenager. I’ve never seen the need to stockpile ammo. Through the years, I’ve usually bought no more than six or eight boxes of centerfire rounds and maybe twice that many shotgun shells. This has always sufficed for my ta…
Wintertime conditions continue on Pat Mayse, as well as our other area lakes. Most of our lakes are still slightly above normal pool.

I bet most of you who have spent a lifetime in the outdoors can recall some close calls, times in the woods or on the water that cause you to shutter when reminiscing. I certainly can
Well, the holidays are over, and I’m sure that everyone has all their tackle boxes, boats, trailers and foul weather gear in shape for this new year.
Here we are, almost in a New Year, and I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and that you have a safe and happy New Year.
The tradition of having wild game on the table for the holidays is a long standing one with my family.
Here we are at the end of the year with two major holidays coming up, so it just might not be the best time to be thinking about fishing. If you’re like me, you’ll be thinking about it but probably not doing it.
