Shaking Off the Winter Blues OV Outdoor Times
I like winter. I don’t mind the cold and snow if I have nowhere to go. What I don’t like about winter is that there’s not a whole lot to do in terms of outdoor activities for hunters. Sure, I By Ralph Scherder could hunt preda- Hunting Editor tors, but by February and March it’s a little hard to get motivated to do it because I’ve already been doing it since late October, and by then I’ve already hunted all my favorite spots several times and would rather leave a few to repopulate next year. This year I tried something a little different to shake off the winter blues. My trapping partner Rich Faler and I decided to head south for a week to run a trapline by boat in the Florida swamps. Rich and I started planning the trip about six months ago. He’s trapped in Florida on three different occasions, although it’s been 25 years since his last trip there. I’ve never trapped out of state, but I was definitely up for the adventure. Getting ready for the trip, we took all the necessary steps to make sure it would go as smoothly as possible. We booked a cabin on the Chipola River near Wewahitchka,

FL. We talked to the Florida DNR to clear up any questions we had about trapping regulations, management units, and permits. Our licenses were ordered ahead of time via the Internet. We hoped to each catch a bobcat and an otter on our trip, so we requested U.S. Cities tags for those animals from the DNR. To our surprise, they sent us a whole box of tags with the stipulation that we return any unused tags to their office once we got home. Foothold, bodygrip, and dog-proof traps are all illegal to use in Florida unless you have a special permit, and those permits are hard to come by. Most of them are issued to farmers and landowners for the purpose of animal damage control. Other than that, all trapping in Florida must be done with snares. I’ve never used snares before, so I knew it would be a neat opportunity to try something new. After driving all night, we arrived at our destination around five in the morning, grabbed some breakfast at a local diner, and then settled in at our cabin. We launched the boat that afternoon and set about 20 snares before dark. To my surprise, those sets yielded a silky Florida raccoon the next morning. One thing I noticed right away about Florida coon is that they’re much sleeker than their northern cousins. They’re not as heavy, either. A huge Florida boar weighs about 12-14 pounds, which is about the size of the one I caught that first morning. For what they lack in size, though, they make up for with beauty. They are very distinctly Turn To Shaking Page 4

In a selfish way — professionally — I’m hoping the government does get its mitts into making the “World Wide Web” in this country a public utility. Let’s face it, the popularity, and usage, of the Internet has By Larry Claypool hurt our print industry Editor — the core business of this publication and our main product, Ohio Valley Outdoors magazine. Sure we’ve hung in there and survived the toughest times that our digital competitors have offered, but now I’m waiting to see a healthy uptick in our industry, if and when, Big Brother gets into the Internet business. The government will goof this up! Or will it allow big business to muck it up? After reading reports of huge communications companies who have been playing hardball for some time, it sounds like big bullies like AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and DirecTV are aligned to battle the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) over Internet regulation. The FCC just got involved, officially, last month when they voted to approve President Obama’s plan to ‘enforce’ net neutrality. His idea that Internet providers should not be allowed to prioritize, throttle, degrade or block unlawful content on the Internet. We’ll see how those words are converted to policies or changes. And I can envision how the government plans to TAX the Internet, and or its usage. And the bullies of the broadband cable world are definitely poised to have their greedy hands in the cookie jar. Honestly, who can blame them? Bottom line, we’re going to be paying more for our Internet service in the future. And someone will find a new way to monetize the clicks we make online. Dang! That does not count the gizmos, games and social media tools that we have on our smart-

phones. Those come with a price too. Now, back to the printed word your holding right now. We’re making a comeback baby! Actually we never left. Maybe we’ve been on the back burner for some of our readers and subscribers, but we do welcome you back. And to our advertisers — past, present and future — we THANK YOU! We’re growing every day and we appreciate you being on board. The work we put into publishing the OV Times each month is most rewarding when we hear positive comments on the street from readers. And it’s nice to see that we get nearly zero returns from the 10,000 copies we distribute each month. Thank you for reading! In a selfish way — personally — I’d like to thank all of our readers of this publication and our sister publications; Ohio Valley Outdoors magazine and Mid-Ohio Valley Outdoor Times. The thank you is also extended to our readers, ‘Friends’ and ‘Likes’ online at www.ohiovalleyoutdoors.com and visitors to our Facebook page and Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube accounts. As for our social media sites we also appreciated the traffic those gather. Our key Facebook page, Ohio Valley Outdoors, has nearly 4,000 ‘Likes’. Our Twitter and Pinterest accounts manage to garner many new and unique viewers who graciously venture to our main website; and that’s appreciated. Need an interesting wild game recipe? Our Pinterest page might be the answer. There’s lots of great recipes found there, and you’d be surprised about how many times our recipes are shared. Our YouTube account is very popular among firearms enthusiasts; due mostly to the many gun reviews from our own writer/reviewer Bill Waugaman. Amazingly our YouTube total views have nearly surpassed 1/2 million views. Thank you for viewing!

marked, their coloration clear and almost perfect. Also, they have very little thick under fur, which is why southern coon are known as “coat coon.” The quality of their fur makes them ideal for garments because they’re not too heavy and require very little dyeing to make them blend well together. We extended our trapline that first day to include about 60 sets at 20 locations. Second day I connected with my first snared coyote. I’d hung the snare over a trail that went through some brush under a huge fallen tree on the river bank. On the third check day, I snared my second coyote, this one on a crossing log above a small creek feeding into the bigger river. This catch truly was an accident. My snare had been intended for raccoons, which means my loop size was technically too small for coyotes. However, when the coyote attempted to cross the log, it apparently stepped into the smaller loop which closed around its paw. The result was one very alive and ornery coyote! Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. On the fourth check day, I finally got what I really went to Florida for – an otter. I’d found an otter toilet on a high
OHIO VALLEY OUTDOOR TIMES
bank along another feeder creek and had set up the two trails that led from the water to the site. Sure enough, one of them connected. Otters are one of the neatest animals I’ve ever been fortunate enough to catch. When I was a kid, I often dreamed of running traplines in various parts of the country for species not common around home. Mostly what I dreamed of was adventure. I wanted to try and learn new things and see different parts of the country. I wanted to take all the things I’d learned around home and apply it to new areas and see if that knowledge still held true. For the most part, I’ve learned, it does. Trapping is the same almost anywhere you go, whether you’re using footholds, bodygrips, or snares. Find where an animal is going and figure out why it’s going there. Then figure out its travel route, and that’s where the trap gets set. When you think about it, that’s how it is with hunting, too. Whitetails, for instance, are basically the same no matter where they’re found. They have the same needs – food, water, shelter, and the desire to breed. Successful hunting is really just a matter of figuring out where they’re going and why, and then setting up your stand accordingly.
Youth Turkey Hunt Set for Killbuck
MILLERSBURG, OH — The ODNR Division of Wildlife will offer special opportunities for young hunters seeking wild turkeys this spring. In addition to the statewide youth hunting days April 18-19 on both private and public lands, the Division of Wildlife will be holding a drawing on April 11, 2015 for a special, controlled turkey hunting opportunity within the refuge portion of the Killbuck Marsh Wildlife Area. Hunting dates are for Saturday and Sundays only, from April 18 through May 17, 2015. Hunters 17 years and under must be present in order to partic-
Now that I’ve made one dream come true this year, I’m determined to make another come true next winter. There are plenty of opportunities in the south. With liberal seasons and bag limits, you can find somewhere and something to hunt almost all winter long and clear into March. Deer seasons generally run much later than in Ohio.

Of course, just because you’re a thousand miles south doesn’t mean you’ll need sunglasses and suntan lotion. On our trapping adventure, Rich and I experienced cool nights in the 30s with daytime highs around 50. That’s still not bad considering it was minus 15 degrees the morning we left home. Regardless of the weather, it’s nice to adventure and try and learn new things. Winter is a good time for that.

The Importance of Edges OV Outdoor Times
During the early portion of this winter – when the weather was relatively mild – I had the opportunity to revisit some spots on the lower Allegheny River, places that have traditionally provided By Jeff Knapp action for walleyes, Fishing Editor sauger and muskies during the winter months. Those two trips reminded me of how important habitat edges are in locating fish. The first spot I pulled up to is a deep hole, one that had likely been dredged decades ago. It bottoms out in 40-some feet of water. The afternoon, though barely above the freezing mark, was sunny and calm. You can’t ask for much more at this time of year. I set the boat up above the upriver perimeter of the hole, where the depths are in the 15 to 20 foot range. As the boat started to slowly drift downriver with the current I dropped a quarter-
ounce leadhead jig, one tipped with a large fathead minnow, to the bottom. With a hand on the electric motor and eyes glued to the sonar unit, I kept the jig within a foot of the bottom as the drift continued. This meant playing out additional line as the depth gradually increased. The initial drop into the hole was quite gradual, but from 25 to 35 feet the bottom fell out quickly. I open the reel’s bail to allow the jig to fall into the depths. About then a large school of fish appeared on the sonar unit. Then a sharp tap telegraphed a walleye take. A couple minutes later a 21-inch walleye was in the net. Not surprisingly the school of walleyes was set up at the base of sharp drop into the hole. There they were shielded from the stronger overhead current. It’s a spot that’s been good during the 25 plus years I’ve been fishing for walleyes in the lower Allegheny. I pulled out several more fish, though small ones, before I left the area. A couple days later my friend Dave

Keith and I were fishing another section of the river, and were again working the edge of a pool. But in this case the edge was one that went from deep to shallow. A deep hole ended, quickly giving way
to a shallow area not more than six to eight feet deep. Holding the boat along the lip of the hole we pitched jigs on to the edge of the Turn To Edges Page 6

New PA License Plate Celebrates Hunting Heritage
HARRISBURG, PA — Hunters are known for putting on drives. And drivers now can make known the pride they take in being Pennsylvania hunters. Pennsylvania’s new Hunting Heritage license plate – an official plate issued by the state Department of Transportation – is available to order from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Each plate costs $56, of which $25 goes to the Game Commission to be used for conservation initiatives. Commemorative patches and decals featuring the Hunting Heritage logo also Edges From Page 5

We’d drifted well down the shallow flat by the time Dave slipped the net under this walleye, and egg-laden female that taped out at 27 inches. He held the fish for a quick picture before we released her. It’s common for fish and wildlife to use edges. These areas are often the

transition zones between places that provide cover and ones that furnish food. Like a grouse found along the edge of a clear-cut, but not far from an acorn-laden oak flat. Or a whitetail buck that skirts the edge of thick bedding cover on its evening journey to a corn field. It’s fairly easy to identify edges in smaller streams – the tail of a pool, edge of a rock, incoming riffle. But in bigger flowing waters it’s wise to look at the big picture…to recognize the edges of prominent holes, as likely spots to hold gamefish.

Packing Time
One of the most valued items in our life is time. One of the biggest problems is trying to find enough of it. We all have obligations such as; work, family and hobbies that cut into the precious resource of time. Preparing to go hunting, fishing, and hiking take a great deal of time and preparation. Sometimes so much effort is involved in preparation that the time set aside for the hobbies is used up just getting ready for what we want to do. This becomes frustrating and takes away from the enjoyment of the activity. Finding and packing the special deer knife, turkey call and the specialty items we take can be a real project. Then we go into the woods and discover that we left an important item back home because of rushing around. My brother, Curt, and I use a system that virtually eliminates the preparation time and almost guarantees that we have everything we need with us in our various hobbies. We create packs specifi-
OHIO VALLEY OUTDOOR TIMES
cally designed for the hunting, fishing, or hobbies we are about to do. Curt has packs for deer [rifle and archery packs], turkey [spring and fall] and fishing [lake or stream] outings. I use the same system for my hobbies of archery and fishing and photography, I also use this plan and apply it to toolboxes for plumbing, electrical, and fencing. By using this packing time method, we save hours of preparation and tremendously cut down the frustration of not having something when we need it. You are likely thinking that this method will cost a fortune, but it does not. Curt and I go to the Rogers Flea Market and yard sales and garage sales to acquire packs, hunting items, fishing lures, and yes even tool boxes. Talk to your friends and ask if they may have some unused or extra items in their boxes in the basement or garage. There are many people who will sell you the whole hunting and fishing collection due to the loss of the family member and would be thrilled to see the items being used. Some hunters or fishermen may be

changing what they hunt or fish for. For example; my friend is moving to Florida next year, and he plans on “getting rid of” most of his freshwater fishing gear and wants the items to have “a good

or even things we do at home with family, whether work or pleasure. The first is preparation. Lack of preparation may cause us to miss that buck or turkey by not having the right gear with us. We may miss that big catch because of the lure that is sitting on the desk at home. As outdoorsmen know, there are many factors that make our adventures a success. Wind direction, temperature — whether the ground is soft or dry, whether the water is clear or cloudy among many other aspects make a difference. This brings us to the second important factor — time. It’s vital. The better our preparation by insuring we have all the “tools” we need to bag the animal or catch that fish, enable us to have more time to focus on all of the other factors. Time can be better used to assess our location, wind conditions, and other important factors around us. This extra time will give us the opportunity to have a successful trip. Most importantly this method gives us time to relax and enjoy the adventure. After all the real purpose of hunting and fishing is to relax and enjoy the excitement of the adventure.

Appalachian Trail Could Get Busy This Spring/Summer
By BETH J. HARPAZ, AP Travel Editor
Here’s some travel news about crowds on the Appalachian Trail, national parks in winter and cruise trends. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is asking hikers planning to walk the entire 2,185 miles of the trail to consider alternatives to traditional itineraries as a way of reducing overcrowding on southern stretches of the trail. Last year, some 2,500 hikers started their treks between March 1 and April 15. With as many as 100 people sometimes setting off the same day from the southern start of the trail in Georgia, heading to the northern terminus of the trail in Maine, crowding at times led to unsustainable conditions. Those conditions included trampled vegetation, sanitation issues and overcrowded campsites, according to the conservancy. Even more people are expected on the trail this year, the conservancy says. The
increased popularity of the trip is partly due to publicity from the book and movie “Wild,” which told the story of a through-hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, and partly due to “A Walk in the Woods,” a movie due out later this year starring Robert Redford about two middle-aged buddies hiking the Appalachian Trail. The conservancy is asking throughhikers to set out midweek rather than on weekends, and to consider starting between April 15 and the first week of May rather than in March and early April. Another way to help ease congestion on the southern stretches in March is to consider starting through-hikes elsewhere. Hikers can start in the middle of the trail, around Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, head north, and then return to Harper’s Ferry to do the southern stretch. While it’s possible to start at the northern end of the trail and head south, the conservancy warns of challenges. Hik-
March 2015
ers must wait until June to start in Maine due to the weather, and even in June, conditions include swarms of black flies and muddy trails. Starting from Maine in June and heading south also makes it likely that hikers will encounter snow by the time they reach the Blue Ridge Mountains months in mid- to late fall. The conservancy offers details on these alternative itineraries at https://www.appalachiantrail.org/hiking/ thru-section-hiking/when-where-to-start . The organization has also launched a new voluntary registration system to help hikers avoid the most crowded days, available at http://www.appalachiantrail.org/thruhik eregistration.

Ohio Wildlife Council Receives Latest Proposals
COLUMBUS, OH — A reduction in bag limits and antlerless permit use, as well as a shift in the youth season during the 2015-2016 hunting seasons, were among regulations proposed to the Ohio Wildlife Council at its regularly scheduled meeting on February 11, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Among the proposals: • Reduce bag limits in the majority of counties, and remove antlerless permits in all but 10 counties. No county has a proposed bag limit increase. • Reduce the statewide bag limit of deer from nine to six. • Suspend the antlerless-only muzzleloader weekend. • Offer two days of deer-gun hunting Dec. 26-27, 2015. • Move youth-gun hunting to the Saturday and Sunday formerly occupied by the antlerless-only muzzleloader weekend. • Add one straight-walled cartridge rifle, the .450 Marlin, to the existing list of legal hunting rifles during the deergun and youth deer-gun seasons. Deer regulations have been trending
toward reduced bag limits and restricted use of antlerless permits in recent years. Proposals to reduce bag limits and adjust hunting seasons work to stabilize deer populations. Deer population goals will be revised this summer through a random survey of hunters and landowners. Participants in the survey will have the opportunity to provide input about the future of deer management in Ohio. Overview of proposed hunting seasons for 2015-2016: • Deer archery: Sept. 26, 2015-Feb. 7, 2016 • Youth deer gun: Oct. 10-11, 2015 • Deer gun: Nov. 30-Dec. 6, 2015; Dec. 26-27, 2015 • Deer muzzleloader: Jan. 2-5, 2016 Proposed county bag limits: No more than two either-sex deer permits: Athens, Auglaize, Belmont, Butler, Carroll, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Coshocton, Darke, Erie, Fairfield, Fayette, Gallia, Geauga, Greene, Guernsey, Hancock, Harrison, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Madison, Meigs, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum,
Noble, Ottawa, Perry, Pickaway, Preble, Sandusky, Shelby, Tuscarawas, Van Wert, Vinton, Warren, Washington and Wood. It was proposed that antlerless permits are not valid in these counties. No more than three either-sex deer permits: Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Brown, Clermont, Columbiana, Crawford, Defiance, Fulton, Hardin, Henry, Highland, Holmes, Huron, Knox, Licking, Logan, Mahoning, Marion, Medina, Paulding, Pike, Putnam, Richland, Ross, Scioto, Seneca, Trumbull, Union, Wayne, Williams and Wyandot. It was proposed that antlerless permits are not valid in these counties. No more than three either-sex permits, or two either-sex permits and one antlerless permit: Lake, Lorain, Portage and Stark. No more than four either-sex permits, or three either-sex permits and one antlerless permit: Cuyahoga, Delaware, Franklin, Hamilton, Lucas and Summit. The statewide bag limit was proposed to be six deer, a reduction from the statewide limit of nine deer last season. Only one deer may be antlered, and a hunter cannot exceed a county bag limit. Antlerless permits may be used from Sept. 26 through Nov. 29, 2015. It was proposed that small game hunt-
9 ing seasons will continue during the second gun weekend, Dec. 26-27, 2015. Also on Wednesday, the ringed-neck pheasant and chukar hunting seasons were proposed to be extended one week to Jan. 10, 2016. The Ohio Wildlife Council will vote on all the proposals after receiving public input during open houses, held the first week of this month. Open houses will be held at the ODNR Division of Wildlife District One, District Two, District Three and District Four offices and the Greene County Fish and Game Association clubhouse in Xenia. Directions to the open houses can be found at wildohio.gov or by calling 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543). A statewide hearing on all of the proposed rules will be held at the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s District One office on March 19, at 9 a.m. The office is located at 1500 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43215. The Ohio Wildlife Council is an eightmember board that approves all of the ODNR Division of Wildlife proposed rules and regulations. The council will vote on the proposed rules and season dates during its meeting on April 8, after considering public input. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

Renovations for Shooting Ranges Announced
COLUMBUS, OH — Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Director James Zehringer and ODNR Division of Wildlife Chief Scott Zody announced that the department will be renovating firearms and archery shooting ranges across the state. Zehringer and Zody discussed the planned improvements during a recent tour of the Spring Valley Shooting Range in Waynesville. These improvement efforts have already started at the Delaware Shooting Range located in the Delaware Wildlife Area east of U.S. Route 23. This Class A public range will receive much needed renovations, improvements and additions. The improvements will include 90 shooting positions, a significant increase from the existing range’s 16 positions. The initial development of this project includes preparation of the site and removal of trees, which will begin in the coming months. New construction will begin this spring, and the reconstructed range is expected to be open by summer 2016. New facilities at the Delaware Shooting Range will include:
OHIO VALLEY OUTDOOR TIMES
• Four hand trap fields • 30 shooting positions at 100-yard range • 36 positons at 50-foot pistol range • 24 positions at 25-yard range • 20 positions at the 90-meter archery range • 14 position 3-D archery walkthrough course with elevated shooting positions • Men’s and women’s restrooms • Range master building with video surveillance and intercom The education and training center at the Delaware Shooting Range will feature an indoor archery/air gun range, classroom amenities, kitchenette, storage space, office space, climate control and have a building capacity for 92 people. Development and construction of the range has been designed to have minimal impact on the existing shooting range. Preliminary design work at the Spring Valley Range, located in the Spring Valley Wildlife Area, should begin after July 1. Some of the improvements include the current entrance being closed and relocated, and the trap range shooting line will be renovated for improved operation. A new indoor archery training and hunter education building will be constructed, and the range and buildings will be designed for federal Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. Other improvements for the Spring Valley Shooting Range include: • New 90-meter static archery range • Updated walk-through 3-D archery course • Automated trap throwers on the shotgun range • Reconstructed and redesigned backstops • An extended shooting line on the rifle/pistol range to provide additional

My Favorite Hunting Season

OV Outdoor Times
My favorite time to scout for the upcoming turkey and deer season is February and March. After a fresh snow, it is easy to survey the deer and turkey population in the areas I am considering to hunt. By Curt Grimm Deer and turkey are The Marathon Hunter grouped up together and leave a lot of evidence of the quantity in a particular area. Often times the males and females are together in their own separate groups. Antlers that are shed and the size of deer and turkey tracks provide unique evidence. In addition, coyotes are more likely to be encountered. Corn fields, grape vine thickets, and oak forests are favorable spots to check. Road crossings are easy to find and by following the tracks they lead to greater populations of turkey and deer. I make a mental note of the areas and the quantity

WV Senate Committee OKs Bill to Update Conceal Carry Statutes
By JONATHAN MATTISE, Associated Press
CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — West Virginia would become the fifth state not to require concealed handgun permits under a legislative proposal that started moving on February 24. A state Senate panel cast a unanimous voice vote to drop the need to get concealed carry permits. Only Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming don’t have the requirement. It’s the first major pro-gun push under newly minted Republican majorities in the 60-day legislative session, which ends in mid-March. Gun-friendly Democrats likewise loosened firearms restrictions in the eight-plus decades they ran the state Legislature. Currently, openly carrying a handgun, like in a holster on a hip, is legal without any permit in West Virginia. Thirty-one states total have similar open-carry rules, according to the Law Center to Protect Gun Violence. Carrying a handgun out of plain site,
like underneath a coat, requires a permit. The West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association cited potential dangers in not requiring permits. Association Executive Director Rodney Miller said law enforcement would have to assume more people had concealed firearms and lacked required training. That includes people coming in from out of state. West Virginians would still need permits when they head out of state. Local government gun restrictions, including at courthouses and other buildings, could still apply, Miller said. Miller said he doesn’t want to see heightened interactions between the public and police, specifically mentioning the Missouri shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown last August. “The problem with opening it up to let just any person come into West Virginia and carry a firearm is, how do you mitigate and potentially control some of the bad guys?” Miller said before Monday’s meeting.
15
Permits also provide money for sheriff’s offices, with some of that going toward bulletproof vests and other safety items, Miller said. Daniel Carey of the National Rifle Association said it should be left up to an individual to seek out handgun training voluntarily. “I think that any responsible, lawabiding individual who purchases anything, whether it be any tool, whether it be a drill, or hammer, or iPad, or whatever the case might be, they’re going to seek out how to use that properly,” Carey said.
Senators voted down an amendment Monday that would’ve maintained training obligations for people carrying concealed weapons, even without permits. Some senators in favor cited 2nd Amendment arguments and questioned whether the required training did much good. They also wondered what difference it would make, since people can openly carry handguns now without permits. The proposal next heads to the Senate floor. It hasn’t progressed in the House yet.
HARRISBURG, PA —Treestands and portable hunting blinds left on game lands and other public-access hunting properties under the Game Commission’s management would need to be marked to identify the owner, under a proposal that’s been preliminarily approved by the Board of Game Commissioners. Under existing regulation, treestands and portable blinds may be set up and left on state game lands and other Game Commission-managed property, but
stands and blinds must be removed no later than two weeks after the close of the final deer-hunting season within that Wildlife Management Unit. However, many stands statewide are left out beyond that deadline each year and on some public access tracts, they seem to be becoming permanent fixtures, the commissioners said. The proposal would make the owners of such stands and blinds identifiable. The tagging requirements would be similar to those that apply to trappers.

Go Online, Get Certified for PA Hunting License
HARRISBURG, PA — Many firsttime buyers of Pennsylvania hunting or furtaker licenses have a new, convenient option for completing the required certification course. A new, online-only Hunter-Trapper Education course is available from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The course, which can be completed online in about six to eight hours, is available to students ages 16 and older. Students can use any computer, smartphone, tablet or e-reader to take the course, providing flexibility to take it anywhere at any time, said Andy Hueser, a hunter-education specialist for the Game Commission. “People live increasingly busy lives these days,” Hueser said. “In recent years we’ve upped the number of traditional, classroom courses we offer and have offered many more courses at peak
times in the fall when more people are thinking about hunting and hunter education, and record numbers of new hunters have become certified as a result. “But demand still exists, and some folks simply can’t make the time to attend a traditional course,” Hueser said. “For them, this new, online option removes a hurdle that might have previously stood in the way of their obtaining a hunting license.” The curriculum for the online course is identical to that taught in the traditional classroom course. Topics such as tree-stand safety, lawful trapping of furbearers, firearms safety, Lyme-disease prevention, state game lands regulations, and other programs all are covered. Students move through the material a page at a time, making their way through 11 units. They must spend a certain amount of time on each page to make
sure they’re not glossing over the material. There’s a quiz at the end of each unit, which must be passed before moving on to the next. And a test covering all material in the course is completed at the end. After passing the test, a temporary certification card can be printed, and a license purchased immediately. The online course is available through Kalkomey, a Texas-based company that specializes in hunter education and has been an important partner in the Game Commission’s programs for years. There is a fee, currently set at $19.50, for the online course, which is wholly retained by Kalkomey to offset their costs of providing the course. The course can be taken through Kalkomey’s website, http://www.huntered.com. Hueser said a full slate of traditional,
classroom Hunter-Trapper Education courses will continue to be offered statewide in Pennsylvania to meet what has been a growing demand for this inperson option, and those courses will continue to be free of charge. “We expect most students, as well as the parents of young hunters, will continue to prefer the traditional courses,” Hueser said. “They like the opportunity to interact with an instructor and to see safe hunting and trapping practices demonstrated right before their eyes. “We will continue to work to offer as many of these courses as we can to keep up with the very high demand for them,” Hueser said. “At the same time, though, this new option is going to be a better fit for some, and we’re happy to provide it, so they can get their license and the information they need to be safe before they get out there and hunt.”

Peer-to-Peer Boat Rentals: What Do You Need To Know?
ALEXANDRIA, VA — Airbnb may a popular “peer-to-peer” lodging site on the web, but if you want to rent a boat in your local area or away, you’ve got options, too. Boatbound.com, Boatsetter.com and Cruzin.com are just a few of the new crop of online websites offering a chance to rent a boat for the day or weekend. These services, which connect private boat owners to renters, can help owners recoup some expenses, and can also give non-owners a chance to get on the water with friends without the cost of full-time ownership. So what do you need to know? Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) has some information for both boat owners and renters. 1. Renters do not want boats that are not safe and or can barely get out of the marina, so these services are often better suited to newer vessels less than 10 years old. Older, larger or faster boats may require a survey or inspection. Rental costs vary widely based on boat size and location, and renters typically
are required to have some boating experience as well as a deposit. 2. These peer-to-peer boat rental websites generally handle every part of the transaction, including taking deposits and payments. They typically take 30%40% of the rental fee, which covers overhead, profit, as well as insurance and on water towing services (more on both of those in a second &read on). 3. For boat owners, most boat insurance policies don’t provide coverage during the rental period and some companies may not provide coverage at any time simply if you list your boat with a rental program. If you happen to own and insure your boat but desire to rent another, your insurance company (including BoatUS Marine Insurance) may offer a temporary endorsement for liability coverage while operating the rental boat - but damage to the rental boat still is not covered. That’s why these “peer-to-peer” boat rental companies often provide additional insurance coverage.
19
4. TowBoatUS and Vessel Assist towing fleets provide on water towing and assistance service to some peer-to-peer rental services at no additional charge to the renter or owner. For the renter that means simply calling BoatUS’ 24-hour nationwide dispatch (800-391-4869) if there is a breakdown. 5. Renters need to ask about any other costs or fees, including fuel or other charges like pump-outs. They should also clarify with the owner what happens if the boat breaks down and becomes unusable. 6. Boat owners have the full right to say “no” to a renter, starting with an initial phone call. BoatUS member Bob Kellet, who has successfully rented his 30-foot sailboat, says owners are in full control of the process, from pricing to vetting renters. 7. Kellet also suggests having a detailed instruction guide for the boat’s equipment and a step-by-step guide for things like starting the engine. Be sure to include safety gear. 8. Having a walk-through, pre-rental checklist is good for both parties, as is taking a few date-stamped photos showing the condition of the vessel. 9. While there is a certain element of trust, owner and renter reviews tend to

Boaters have some new options to get on the water with online rental services.
weed out bad apples quickly, so be sure to check the renter’s history or the owner’s reviews from past renters. 10. One man’s experience: BoatUS Member Kellet said he was apprehensive the first few times he rented his sailboat to a stranger, but after a couple rentals he realized the renters cared about his boat, too, and they were there for the same reason: a love of the water and boating.
