The Game Commission has been working with personnel from USDA’s Wildlife Services to remove deer in parts of Carbon and Luzerne counties. The targeted removal is outlined in the agency’s Chronic Wasting Disease Response Plan — approved in July 2020 — as a management option in high-priority areas.

It was my turn to write Marty Petroski a letter. Since 2020, Marty and I have exchanged handwritten letters in the mail almost every month. Our line of communication evolved from a few phone calls shortly after I started working for Lancaster Farming.

There were a few subsequent phone conversations, and I pursued Marty’s idea and wrote a story.

When the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission created the Mentored Youth Trout Day in 2013, it was one of the best decisions the agency ever made. Yet some still complain. The mentored event gives kids a single day all to themselves to fish for trout on the Saturday before the statewide season opener. This content is restricted to subscribers of OutdoorNews.com.

Rainforest-like weather, fertilized 200 lbs/ac and @HolganixAg foliar application made the 3rd cutting orchard grass boom. Too bad can't get weather to make dry squares out of it. https://t.co/4qVI0CLZjM
