What's New?
Nine months after two cougar kittens were documented in the Upper Peninsula, a new trail camera photo indicates the elusive animals are still alive and living with their mother.
Bass pros fish for a living. What could be better, right? Sit down with a professional angler at a  boat show, and it comes out that they do enjoy their gig, mainly because they genuinely love to fish. One perk of the job is that the tournament season doesn’t run all year long, so they do have a true offseason.

The popularity of leader material grew exponentially after the dawn of braided fishing lines, aka superlines. Despite their prowess, these incredibly strong-for-their-diameter braids presented two significant drawbacks.

Why Can’t We All Get Along?
- Details
By Louie Stout
Could we just show each other a little respect?
That was the thought that came to my mind when I received an email recently from a reader who questioned the values of other anglers who don’t share similar interests.
More importantly, or so it seemed, he questioned the ethics of anglers who use heavy lines and “drag in fish without a fight.”
“A light line and nice, light rod is a real challenge for good fishermen,” he wrote.
Changes to Mourning Dove Season for 2014-2015
- Details
The Indiana mourning dove season will expand by 18 days for the 2014-15 hunting season.
To accommodate these additional days, the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has added a third period for dove hunting, in December and January. Additionally, the DNR extended the first period, and modified the second period to avoid the firearms deer season.
The 2014-15 mourning dove hunting season is:
- Sep. 1 – Oct. 19
- Nov. 1 – Nov. 9
- Dec. 13 – Jan. 11
Hunting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise until sunset. The daily bag limit is 15 with a possession limit of 45.
“Most mourning doves are harvested in September, but great dove hunting can be found later in the season with a little scouting,” said Budd Veverka, DNR farmland game research biologist. “Looking at data from the past five years, I would expect to see approximately 11,000 dove hunters harvest nearly 214,000 mourning doves in 2014. With the extended season, the harvest could be even higher.”
The expansion is based on research by the Indiana DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
