| Cleaning House |
|
I’m cleaning out my liquor cabinet at home. As cleaning goes, this isn’t the worst thing. I mean, I’m drinking liquor every evening, and I’m actually being “productive” in the process. That the liquor is of rather marginal quality, purchased during the less discriminating years of my youth, is of little consequence. [...]

| Camelot yields plenty of fish |
|
Central Illinois’ Triple Crown of Ice Fishing started with plenty of cold, plenty of fish and plenty of good cheer. The annual Lake Camelot ice fishing tournament saw a smaller crowd than usual (272 adults, 21 youngsters) but more fish than last year. Several anglers weighing fish said this was their best year on the frozen waters of Lake Camelot and Lake Lancelot, which offered between 6-8 inches of good ice. Crappie bit well on the cold, sunny day. So did bass. And while bluegill were not as abundant as usual, the winning weight of 1.93 pounds by Ty Heberer of Green Valley was certainly respectable. “We were fishing about 12 feet deep right off the bottom and caught most of ...

| Wyoming urges end to federal wolf control |
|
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has no legitimate reason for its refusal to turn over management of gray wolves to the state of Wyoming, the state told a federal judge on Friday. U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson of Cheyenne heard arguments Friday in a lawsuit the state of Wyoming filed against U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The state is challenging the agency’s decision last year to remove wolves in Idaho and Montana from the endangered species list while leaving them protected in Wyoming. Jay Jerde, deputy Wyoming attorney general, told Johnson that the Fish and Wildlife Service has continually shifted and inflated the requirements the state would have ...

| Wis. sturgeon-spearing season could be big |
|
OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) - State wildlife officials are predicting big things for the sturgeon-spearing season, which starts in a few weeks. The Department of Natural Resources has seen a resurgence of sturgeon weighing 150 pounds or more. And DNR crews say they frequently deal with live sturgeon that weigh over 200 pounds. DNR spokesman Ron Bruch says it all adds up to one thing: It’s only a matter of time before records start to fall. The largest harvested sturgeon was caught six years ago. It weighed 188 pounds. Last year, a woman set a record for the largest fish ever harvested by a woman spearer. It weighed 169 pounds and was nearly 7 feet long. The spearing season runs from Feb. 13 ...

| Hunting To Be A ?Right? in Arizona? |
|
This came up a couple of years ago. I didn’t agree then, I don’t agree now. I’m not so sure hunting should be a “right”. Rather, I see it better as a privilege. The problem with making it a right is that it is then harder to take away – think poachers, for example. I [...]
