It’s simple math really: Zero eggs equals zero fish for future stocking programs.

Nearly fifty years have now passed since the first paddletail swimbaits splashed down in U.S. waters, the earliest designs having likely originated in France.

Michiana bow hunters were greeted to a double-edge sword when their season opened this week.
On the bright side, theres the decent weather in the forecast, and more importantly, an early crop harvest which is driving some deer out of the cornfields.
On the downside, theres that nasty EHD virus that likely will reduce the size of the herd in many areas of Michiana.

Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating the death of a Rochester man that occurred during a hunting trip Sunday on private property in Fulton County.
Conservation Officers were called to the location near Rochester after receiving a report of a man who suffered a gunshot wound.
Kenneth Moore, 28, of Rochester, was shot and killed from an apparent single gunshot to the head. Moore was hunting with three friends at the time of the incident, including a 12 year old and two adults, while participating in the Indiana youth deer hunting season.
At some point, the hunting party split into two groups. Moore and the 12 year old were walking along a corn field when an adult shooter from the other group shot Moore.
