Syracuse.com - Figura writing about CNY ice fishing and Onondaga Lake duck hunting scenes

[HuntingNY-News]

Seen a wild boar lately? Contact me at [email protected].

Here's what I'm working on this week:

- The local ice fishing scene

- The access situation for duck hunters on Onondaga Lake.

- An update on the Wild Boar War in CNY. The DEC says they didn't receive a single report of one locally during 2013. Can that really be? If you've seen or killed one while hunting, contact me at [email protected].

- Comments from readers about their outdoors bucket lists for 2014. Send yours to [email protected].

- Extreme Outdoors winter adventures. Folks do all sort of daring and dangerous things each winter around Central New York and the Adirodacks.

- Small, community ski slopes and the expensive need to have snow-making equipment to stay open. A new trend.

- The special Tompkins County deer hunting season that spans the month of January. What worked, what didn't work about it last year and why.

- A Q&A with Stephen Wowelko, departing president of the Onondaga Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs.
