A bit of confusion seems to be the norm whenever there’s a “national day” for something — cheese, smelt, hunting, booze, whatever — because everyone has their own little slice of the pie.

So it seems that today is International Whisk(e)y Day to celebrate the beverage that’s been around for who knows how long. Apparently, World Whisky Day is May 16 this year, and of course “the world” is different from “international” (How? Don’t ask.) so there are two events. Today’s International Whisk(e)y Day is a celebration and a chance to donate to Parkinson’s research in memory of Michael Jackson, the late veteran writer for Whisky Advocate.

Ontario House aka The Stone Jug in Youngstown, N.Y. (Photo: wnypapers.com)

I’ve never been one to pass up a nice glass of brown water, be it whiskey or bourbon or whatever other pour is offered. In time, I’ve learned to eschew all the sugary soda crap — no Crown and Coke or Jack and Sprite, thank you — and enjoy a couple of fingers neat or with a cube of ice.

One of the most memorable evenings happened a few years ago in Youngstown, N.Y., at a pub with history dating back more than 350 years. The Ontario House, aka “The Stone Jug,” has been an establishment since before the War of 1812 and was burned by the dirty Brits when they invaded our country. The Stone Jug was rebuilt in 1842 out of stone and still stands on Main Street in Youngstown, which is just 11 miles north of Niagara Falls and five minutes or so from Fort Niagara, which has stood for almost 330 years defending the westermost tip of New York overlooking Lake Ontario where the Niagara River meets the lake.

Two friends of mine and I were in Lewiston, just a few miles down the road, for a few days of great smallmouth and steelhead fishing with Capt. Frank Campbell. We popped over to Youngstown for supper and then into the The Stone Jug for a drink. A few regulars propped up the bar. The bartender was polite and had a generous pour. A round of Jameson for us, we decided. Straightforward, old school, nothing fancy, just like The Stone Jug’s gorgeous wooden back bar and thick bar we were leaning on, and we just enjoyed quietly the nice few moments there. Three pals, no stress, quiet conversation without ferns, brass, bells whistles and whatnot. We had a second round.

When you walk out of The Stone Jug on Main, you overlook the Niagara River, and Canada just a mile away. Youngstown was formally established in 1726 — 50 years before the Declaration of Independence — and prior had been well known as a meeting point for fur traders. The Iroquois (Six Nations) and other native Americans knew it well, too. When you stand on the corner of that old stone pub, you’re standing in history. There may not have been an official Stone Jug 350 or so years ago, but I suspect the fur traders and native Americans probably imbibed a little bit at that Youngstown outpost overlooking the river. Which is cool, and that’s worth the tip of a glass, in my opinion.

So if you enjoy a little whiskey or bourbon, today is a day of celebration.

Hunting for Food: A Guide to Harvesting Field Dressing and Cooking Wild Game is available now for pre-order at ShopDeerHunting.com and will be released in July 2015.

And if you enjoy great venison, I highly recommend visiting the Food for Hunters site for a trove of outstanding recipes. Rick Wheatley and Jen Nguyen create and explain amazing recipes like Ca Kho To, which is Vietnamese Catfish braised in a clay pot, and their Deer, Mushroom and Barley soup to knock the chill off some of these spring nights, or others for small game, waterfowl, upland birds and even some unique ones. Like what? How about Thai Style Turtle and Potato Curry? Sounds fabulous. Turtle is delicious and curry, well, it can provide outstanding flavor or give you a kick in the pants if the dish is uber-curried.

There are a ton of great recipes on the Food for Hunters site, though, so take a look. And we’ll have more soon about a great project between Rick and Jen and F+W Media, our parent company, on their super new wild game cookbook coming out later this summer. “Hunting for Food” will be about 175 pages covering 13 species, with great cooking preparation photos and super recipes. You can pre-order Hunting for Food now.

Rick and Jen had a quick Facebook post the other day that I thought was pretty good: “Pan seared venison on top of baby kale, spinach and chard salad with French vinaigrette dressing, avocado, tomato, caramelized onion and Parmesan.”

That’s about as easy as can be to make and is pretty tasty. I love a good salad and eat them regularly in spring and summer when the veggies are fresh, but I also don’t mind opening a bag of spring greens. Either is fine. Here’s how I would make this one:

Venison loin
Olive oil
Salt, pepper
Kale, chopped and with tough ribs removed
Spinach
Chard
Avocado
Tomatoes
Caramelized onion
Parmesean cheese
French vinaigrette dressing

Wash the kale, spinach and chard well, drain and/or pat dry. After removing the main ribs in the kale and chard, gently tear or chop with a knife into bite-size pieces. Nothing stinks more than getting a giant leaf in a bite of salad. Cut the avocado and remove the pit, then remove the flesh. (Watch to see how to do this easily.)

Caramelize your onions if you desire (Watch to see how.) Or you could use a sweet onion and give it a good dice so it wouldn’t be overpowering. If you want a bit more bite, go with a red onion or spring green onions when they’re available. Caramelized onions are pretty darn good, though.

Add olive oil to a skillet on medium-high heat and sear the venison loin to your desired doneness. Personally, I like mine medium-rare. You could sear the loin whole and then slice it, or slice into thin strips beforehand for a faster cooking time. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the venison after searing while it’s still warm.

Tomatoes can be pre-cut or you could use little cherry tomatoes, if they’re in season. Assemble the greens, onions, avocado, tomatoes and venison. Grate the Parmesean over the top and add the vinagrette dressing. (See how to easily make your own dressing.)

6 Pennsylvania Deer Poachers Learn Costly Lesson

6 Pennsylvania Deer Poachers Learn Costly Lesson

A long investigation into complaints about poaching turned up a lot of numbers, but the most significant ones involve the convictions and fines imposed on the law-breakers.

Six Pennsylvania people pleaded guilty to killing 18 deer over a four-month span and have been ordered to pay more than $23,000 in fines and court costs.

Whew!

The six people, all of Spring Grove, Pa., admitted to shooting bucks and does between September and December 2014 in Jackson Township, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. They also were charged with being in possession of two unlawful deer.

Amy Daugherty, 44, Jennifer Rosenberry, 41, and a minor pleaded guilty to five counts of unlawful taking of big game, four counts of shooting on or across highways, three counts of unlawful use of lights while hunting, three counts of unlawfully spotlighting during rifle deer season, two counts of using a motorized vehicle to locate game or wildlife, two counts of possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle, two counts of false or fraudulent statements on reports, one count of using a rifle during archery season, and one count of unlawful taking or possession of game or wildlife.

The three were ordered to pay $7,650 in fines plus court costs.

Cain Rosenberry, 30, Joshua Runkle, 21, and another minor pleaded guilty to 10 counts of unlawful taking of big game, eight counts of trespassing on private property, eight counts of unlawful use of lights while hunting, seven counts of shooting on or across highways, five counts of unlawful taking or possession of game or wildlife, five counts of unlawfully spotlighting during rifle deer season, two counts of failing to report big game kills within 10 days, two counts of false or fraudulent statements on reports, one count of using a motorized vehicle to locate game or wildlife, and one count of possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

They must pay $15,650 in fines.

The Game Commission news release said officials searched the Daugherty home Dec.18 and confiscated multiple guns, bows and crossbows, hunting equipment, skulls, antlers, hides and meat. They also found a board that noted each person’s deer kills. Dee were killed at night with lights from highways, on private property, and some had Maryland tags.

The Facts on Antler Restrictions and Deer Hunting

The Facts on Antler Restrictions and Deer Hunting

Antler restrictions seem to have popular appeal in many places. But, popular appeal could also cause ARs to become a bit like the old “buck law.” Under buck-only hunting everyone knew that the herd would grow if you didn’t shoot “mother deer.” And, it became nearly a sin to consider shooting female deer because you not only killed the doe but also killed her progeny. It was “like killing hundreds of deer with one shot.” The popular appeal of this protective mentality became a major obstacle to prescribed antlerless harvests and persists in some corners yet today.

By Keith R. McCaffery

There is potential for a similar problem with ARs. It seems to make common sense that by not shooting small antlered deer that these deer will survive to have much larger antlers as they mature.  Some hunters are so hooked on this idea that they are demanding state agencies to impose mandatory ARs. But, it is doubtful that they are aware of the biological impacts and track record of ARs.

Antler restrictions may be voluntary or mandatory. On large club properties or shooting preserves the club members or owner may voluntarily establish rules that require that a buck exceed a certain antler condition or Boone & Crocket score before it is eligible to be shot.

Some places might require that antler beam spread exceed the width of the deer’s ears. But, most often it is a point count. State-mandated ARs commonly require that a legal buck have one antler with at least 3 or 4 points depending on the local potential for antler growth. This AR is intended to protect from harvest the majority of yearling bucks.

One might argue that Wisconsin already has had ARs. Prior to 1957, legal bucks had to have at least one antler with a 1-inch or greater fork.  This restriction was discontinued in large part because of the number of spikes that were accidental-illegal kills and left in the woods, plus there was no biological reason for the restriction.

Hunters have a wide range of opinions about antler restrictions in all parts of the country.

Why ARs? 

ARs are normally sought only in areas that are heavily hunted for bucks. High hunter numbers and buck-only rules will insure that a high proportion of bucks will be killed. Under such conditions, it follows that the next year’s crop of bucks will be composed mostly of replacement yearlings.

A young age structure should not be confused with the normal age composition of a productive herd.  In any herd, whether heavily hunted or not, the largest age class will be the youngest age class; that is, fawns. The largest “adult” age class will be yearlings. Each older age class will be smaller than the one preceding it. Some hunter’s expectations are unrealistic as they fail to recognize basic population dynamics. No productive herd has a high proportion of “mature” bucks except in relative terms.

Wisconsin has high hunting pressure in that it ranks 4th nationally in numbers of deer licenses sold.  Prior to 1990, bucks were heavily exploited especially in farm woodlot areas of central and southern Wisconsin. Unrestricted buck seasons, plus limited antlerless quotas, meant hunting was focused on antlered deer. The majority of hunters wanted to be successful and most wanted venison. Thus, there was competition for bucks.

Since 1990, Wisconsin has struggled with herd control. Bag limits on antlerless have been greatly increased and hunting opportunities lengthened. This has shifted mortality away from antlered bucks and focused more of it on antlerless deer. The result is that there is an older age structure of bucks now than at any time in many decades.

Hunters have been able fill their freezers with antlerless venison while “saving” their one buck tag for a big one. If the “big one” doesn’t show, they still have been successful and have meat. Meanwhile, more bucks survive. Wisconsin has led the nation in production of Boone & Crocket bucks during recent years. All this has been happening with no deliberate effort to “produce” mature bucks.

Past and Recent AR Trends

Western states have had the most experience with ARs specifically designed for the purpose of producing larger antlers. These have been applied to both mule deer and elk. California tried ARs as early as 1937. Most other Western states followed. But already by the 1970s, it was becoming clear that ARs were not achieving their goal. At best, they were merely shifting the bulk of the harvest from yearlings to 2.5-year-old bucks.

As studies continued, two major disappointments were discovered.First was finding an unacceptable level of accidental-illegal kill of animals with inadequate antler condition.Counting points in the wild can be difficult.

The second was noting that ARs focused harvests more heavily on the mature males, virtually wiping them out. One cannot produce “old” bucks by targeting old bucks. They found better age structures were achieved when harvests were spread across all age classes of males. States also found that the best way to have more mature animals was to limit license sales; an option that would not be popular in most Eastern states.

Attempts to discontinue ARs led to a long struggle between wildlife biologists and hunters and this struggle was reminiscent of ending the “buck-only law” in Wisconsin. But by 1998, all Western states except Colorado had discontinued statewide ARs and even Colorado dropped their statewide rule by 2003. Three states, including Colorado, retained some individual units with ARs as a compromise to pacify those sportsmen that continued to demand ARs.

However, popular appeal forced New Mexico to reinstate ARs for a short time, but discontinued them again in 2008. Several Eastern states including Arkansas, Pennsylvania and Mississippi soon mandated statewide ARs. By 2012, 22 states were entertaining ARs on a broad or limited basis for a variety of reasons.

So, it pays to be aware of the issues as demands for mandatory ARs may be coming yet to a neighborhood near you.

Antler restrictions may work better on private land with voluntary decisions than on a statewide “one size fits all” basis and mandated by a wildlife agency.

Where ARs Work

ARs tend to work where there are privatized herds and exclusive hunting. Club properties or leases and shooting preserves can employ ARs and achieve older bucks. Limited entry, alone, would lead to having more old bucks. But, these situations are far from what most Midwesterners would consider to be public hunting.

The “official” reason for employing ARs in some states was to focus mortality on the antlerless segments of the herd. Accidental-illegal kill as experienced in the West may not be as much a problem so long as Eastern states continue to experience over-abundant deer and have surplus bonus permits for antlerless deer. But, as herds are reduced to responsible numbers and competition for venison and success increases, accidental-illegal kill of bucks may again be a concern.

Another approach

An overlooked tool for producing older bucks is the employment of Earn-a-Buck (EAB) where a hunter must harvest an antlerless deer before being eligible to bag an antlered buck.  As initially applied in Wisconsin and New Jersey, EAB tended to reduce buck harvest rates by nearly 40 percent.  Some of the reduced buck harvest was no doubt caused by hunters having to pass up a buck because they were not yet eligible to shoot one.  But, another factor may be that once having shot an antlerless deer there was less need to shoot a buck for venison.  By holding back for a “bigger” buck, many hunters go home with no buck but are still “successful” and happy.  The result is an older buck age structure.

Of course, the use of EAB is temporary as it depends on having surplus deer.  EAB has been demonstrated to be one of the most effective herd reduction tools available for public hunting.  Once herd size is lowered and approaches population goals, EAB is discontinued and its affect on extending the buck age structure ceases.   Note that a “pre-qualification” provision, where an antlerless deer shot in the prior year qualifies a hunter to shoot a buck in the following EAB year, reduces the proportion of surviving bucks as does the strategy of earning a second buck (EA2B) by shooting an antlerless after one buck has already been taken.

Other Downsides of ARs

A primary goal of ARs is to provide some protection for yearling bucks so that they can be harvested at age 2.5 or older with increased antler size.  The effect is to protect all bucks with small antlers while creaming off mature bucks and those yearlings with larger racks.  While this may or may not have long-term genetic effects on the herd, studies in Mississippi have found that the surviving members of a yearling age class will have significantly smaller antlers during their lifetime after ARs have been applied.

A secondary motivation for imposing ARs is to correct what is perceived as “distorted” sex ratios. It is common in productive herds for about one out of 5 deer to sport antlers prehunt in the fall if buck harvest has been unrestricted. Some believe this is an indication of “grossly distorted” sex ratios when in fact the prehunt adult sex ratio is rarely more than 2 does per buck and the fawn sex ratio is near 1 to 1. The combined sex ratio for most of these fall herds is near 3 females to 2 males.

To the extent that adult sex ratios are adjusted from 2 does per buck to closer to 1, as might occur with ARs, herd growth rate will be slowed. This can be good or bad depending on objectives.  Most hunters have wanted rapid growth to produce and sustain high harvests.  But, slowed growth would be beneficial for controlling herds where deer are overabundant and hunter demand is low.

Another problem with mandatory ARs is the matter of enforcement and penalties. Low fines might reduce compliance. High fines might increase the number of abandoned dead deer.  And, what should the fine be for a young hunter that mistakenly shoots an illegal buck?

A final concern is the perception created for the non-hunting public. ARs are nearly impossible to divorce from so-called “trophy” hunting. The general public has strongly supported hunting when the focus has been on producing food or for controlling wildlife populations. But, ethical challenges arise when they perceive that the purpose is for mere sport, recreation, or trophies. Mandatory ARs force even meat-hunters to appear to be trophy hunters.

Parting Shot

ARs seem to have popular appeal because, like the “buck law” of earlier times, the restrictions seem to make sense. However, the consequences of imposing ARs have not been fully appreciated by many people. Very simply, you cannot produce more old bucks by targeting older bucks. That, too, should make good sense.

Years of experience and research in Western states has shown that ARs, when mandated for public hunting, do not result in more deer or larger-antlered deer. Can we expect different results in Eastern states?

Craig Morgan: Country Music Comments Were “insulting … laughable”

Craig Morgan: Country Music Comments Were “insulting … laughable”

Country music star Craig Morgan loves bowhunting anytime he can get away during the season. (Photo: Sub-7)

Country music singer and U.S Army veteran Craig Morgan didn’t think too much of ignorant comments made recently that insulted a wide range of Americans.

Morgan was a guest recently on FOX & Friends to respond to the comments made by Ebony.com senior editor Jamilah Lemieux. Responding to Texas Sen. and presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s statement on “CBS This Morning” that he switched from rock music to country music after the 9/11 terror attacks, Lemieux said on an MSNBC show that “nothing says ‘let’s go kill some Muslims,’ like country music.”

Morgan was a guest on FOX & Friends to respond. Morgan served nearly two decades of service to our U.S. military, including more than 10 years of active duty with the Army’s 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions, followed by another nine years in the Reserves well into his music career. He’s had more than a dozen Top 10 hits and is a passionate supporter of outdoors pursuits and hunting.

RELATED: Craig Morgan’s “I’m A Deer Hunter” interview with DDH

Craig Morgan has entertained fans around the world and regularly performs for active and retired military veterans.

“It’s a little insulting but it’s also laughable,” Morgan said on “FOX & Friends.” “I don’t know why Ms. Limieux felt the need to be, really it was just rude. I felt like it was a very rude statement.”

After Limieux’s idiotic comment, Michael Steele and Joan Walsh, the other guests with her on the snow, giggled about it. Whooboy! She made a funny about country bumpkins! Whooeeee!

“In my opinion, even worse was Ms. Walsh’s reaction, you know, her laughing and then I thought that her insulting the ‘bless their hearts, the country people’ comment,” Morgan said. “There’s a lot of ignorance on their part I believe more than anything.”
