State game and fish departments oppose winter feeding programs for pheasants. Officials cite financial burden and biological harm, arguing feeding reduces natural foraging, causes dependency, and wears the beak improperly. They favor planting natural seed plots near pheasant cover instead.
Prepare Your Fishing Gear For The Spring Season
Hunters and anglers are urged to inspect tackle now after a long off season. Clean plugs varnish hooks and reels, oil reels, refine rods, treat flies and fly lines, and repaint tackle boxes. Know where everything is before the season opens next March or April.
Hook Aids Rifle Cleaning With Simple Fishing Hook
A simple fishing hook can ease cleaning a rifle barrel. Straighten the hook and attach it to the cleaning rod or string. Use it to pull the swab through the barrel or retrieve a swab stuck inside, saving temper and effort.
