The one fatality was a self- inflicted turkey hunter incident. DEC ECO’s investigated nine hunting related incidents in 2022, including one fatality. 2022 tied 2021 with the lowest number of hunting-related shooting incidents since record-keeping began. The DEC announced that the 2022 hunting season ties a record for the safest-ever year for hunting incidents. There were two Mallard Ducks and three Canada Geese in the open water and an otter fishing alone in a hole in the ice with a nice bullhead.

The first day of Spring has arrived with only a new inch of snow and 18 degrees on the thermometer…(better than the three inches of snow and strong winds the day before, but no loss of power.) Many others are still struggling with more water and snow than they can deal with.
