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.
When every cast matters, line performance makes all the difference. Enter Berkley GinClear, Berkley’s premium fluorocarbon, delivering a super smooth feel, unmatched flexibility, and ultra-low memory in a high-performance package built for serious anglers. Designed to maximize casting performance and eliminate the frustrations of traditional fluorocarbon lines, GinClear makes every cast feel like the first one out of the box.
Monster Buck Shot in LaPorte County
Trevor Draves climbed off a roof at the A-Team Construction site where he worked in Rolling Prairie, rushed home to grab his hunting gear then drove to the woods in southern LaPorte County.
It’s what avid bow hunters do in late October when the early rut is underway.
“I didn’t get in the stand until 4 o’clock,” said the 21-year-old LaPorte resident. “But when I saw a good number of does milling around, I figured it was going to be a good night.”
He had no idea just how good it would be.

When Hoosiers go to the polls Nov. 7, they’ll be making another important decision besides Trump vs. Hillary.
And this decision won’t be a matter of selecting the lesser of two evils.
That’s because you’ll be asked whether the state constitution should be amended to declare hunting, fishing and trapping as constitutional rights.
It will read: Shall the Constitution of the State of Indiana be amended by adding a Section 39 to Article 1 to provide that the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife shall be forever preserved for the public good, subject only to the laws prescribed by the General Assembly and rules prescribed by virtue of the authority of the General Assembly to promote wildlife conservation and management and preserve the future of hunting and fishing.
