[HuntingNY-News]

I'm still on the hunt for someone to interview about wild boar hunting in CNY. Contact me by calling 470-6066 or emailing [email protected].

Submitted photoAndrew Rhoads, 13, with his 22.5 pound turkey taken during last weekend's youth turkey hunt.

Hope everyone's spirits continue to be high for the coming spring. Don't worry, this snow will soon be gone.

Here's what's on tap for this week on The Outdoors page in The Post-Standard.
