The highly anticipated ringneck pheasant and bobwhite quail seasons get underway at 8am Saturday, and it’s an odds on bet that a significant majority of the approximately 12,000 Pheasant/Quail Stamp holders will be afield.

Critically low stream and river flows in the northern and central tier counties necessitated a rearranging of the first week’s schedule of the wildly popular fall trout stocking program that was originally slated to run October 8-11 that included 16 venues and 16,600 rainbow trout.

At Charlie’s Bait ‘N’ Tackle, and Charlie’s Farm Stand, separated by a patch of blacktop, it’s all here.

The first portion runs through June 19.

There are, as of today, a mere seven days remaining in the segmented 2024 spring turkey hunting season that started April 22 (Youth Day was April 20).
