Here's what's on tap for this week in the Outdoors pages of The Post-Standard. Friday: Main piece: Two interesting 'Tales from the Woods' ... I write about a 15-girl who got her first deer (a 7-point buck) and a guy who got his using a home-made bow he fashioned from a hickory tree on his property. Column: How can...

Friday:

Main piece: Two interesting 'Tales from the Woods' ... I write about a 15-girl who got her first deer (a 7-point buck) and a guy who got his using a home-made bow he fashioned from a hickory tree on his property.

Column: How can you tell a deer is dead (if its road kill or after you shoot it while hunting)?

SUNDAY:

Main piece: I write about the wide variety of late fall fishing opportunities that anglers can still tap into.

Column: I write about a guy who got massive buck with a 325-yard shot in Cayuga County; the DEC's position on Big Foot (I'm not making this up),,, and more.

In coming weeks, I'd like to write about the following outdoors activities. If you know someone who does these activities, contact me ASAP:

-- Anyone who has arrowed or shot a wild boar this hunting season.

-- Someone who's willing to talk about the history and current situation concerning the floating duck blinds at the end of Cayuga Lake that are put out every year.

- Anyone who would make a good candidate for The Post-Standard's Heroes of Conservation Award. Questions? See the previous story I wrote about this.
