What's New?
Michigan’s woods are beginning to stir this spring — and so is the science behind wild turkey management. This year, wildlife science in the state is getting a major boost. For the first time in Michigan history, researchers are launching a long-term, large-scale study of wild turkey populations.
There’s something about early spring tournaments in Northern Indiana as you never quite know what you’re going to get. Between the weather, water conditions, and how fast things can change this time of year, every decision feels magnified.

Kevin VanDam Wins; JVD Finishes 5th
WADDINGTON, N.Y. - By noon Sunday, Kevin VanDam was already working his way back to toward Whittaker Park, where the weigh-in would be held about three hours later.
He knew it was over - and so did most everyone else.
After leading the first three days, VanDam caught five bass today that weighed 23 pounds, 12 ounces to punctuate a dominant victory in the Huk Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River presented by Go RVing. His four-day total of 90-3 is one of the highest ever recorded by an Elite Series angler weighing in only smallmouth bass.
The closest angler to KVD was Mississippi pro Brock Mosley, who finished 8 pounds back with 82-3.
VanDamÃs nephew, Jonathon, finished 5th and edged closer to qualifying for the Toyota Angler of Year Championship later this season.
KVD and JVD Lead Field into St. Lawrence River Finals

WADDINGTON, N.Y. - It's been every pro fisherman's nightmare for more than 25 years.
Superstar Kevin VanDam - a Michigan native and arguably the best smallmouth angler in the history of the sport - is hammering the smallies with no sign of slowing down.
And now, the remaining anglers in the field have just one more day to overtake him and keep him from recording his 24th career B.A.S.S. victory wire-to-wire style at the Huk Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River presented by Go RVing.
VanDam added five bass that weighed 22 pounds, 10 ounces Saturday and maintained the lead he's held from the start with a three-day total of 66-7.
"Today was really calm," he said. "The wind changed 180 degrees and blew the exact opposite direction from what it did (Friday). That really slowed things down, and it's a lot easier to position your boat when it's like that.
