New Gear
St. Croix Rod expands the angler-favorite Mojo Musky lineup with three all-new longer models – a 10’ heavy power JOMFG100HF2, a 10’ extra-heavy power JOMFG100XHF2, and a 10’6” heavy power JOMFG106HF2. All are two-piece with a 70/30 split that places the junction low in the stiffer section of the rod.

Indiana Deer Harvest Could be Down Slightly
- Details
By Louie Stout
Will Hoosiers set another deer harvest record this season?
Probably not, says Indiana deer biologist Chad Stewart.
That’s not to say he doesn’t expect a good hunting season, but the state is due for a dip.
Last year, Hoosiers harvested 136,248 deer, breaking the harvest record for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if it was down a little this year,” Stewart said in a press release. “But I don’t expect the harvest numbers to fall off a cliff. There will still be plenty of deer out there.”
Michigan Restructures License Fees
- Details
It’s official - Hoosiers will pay more to fish in Michigan next year.
A lot more.
The Michigan House of Representatives have accepted Senate amendments to a fishing/hunting license bill that will go into effect next spring. The governor signed it this week.
While the bill reduces fees somewhat for residents, it more than doubles some non-resident fees.
For example, non-residents would pay $75 for an annual fishing license, $150 for a basic hunting license, and $170 to hunt deer.
Under next year’s plan there will not be a “restricted” license. Anglers will be able to fish for all species, including trout and salmon, under one license. The current fee for a non-resident all-species license is $42 while a restricted license is $34 – less than half of what it will be next year.
