Concord, NH – In the latest issue of the New Hampshire Wildlife Journal magazine (September/October 202), we asked Colby Denison to explain the basic skills required to become a proficient squirrel hunter. In his story, “Squirrel Hunting 101,” Denison, a former Fish and Game fisheries biologist and avid outdoor enthusiast, describes the techniques and skills required to outsmart ol’ bushytail.

For those who never want open-water fishing to end and others who may be curious about trying something new this fall, “Who Said the Season Was Over?” drops a line on some popular tactics employed by successful late-season anglers. Author and professional guide Tim Moore shares his insights with readers on fall angling success with three exciting game fish species on his mind: lake trout, Northern pike, and black crappie.

Also in this issue, “Weather Watch” looks at how the proverbs and wisdom of old-time sailors and farmers can help modern outdoor enthusiasts tune into nature for some pearls of truth in predicting the weather when the internet and television are unavailable.

“On the Nature Trail” explores the life of the dobsonfly, which as an adult lives for a few weeks on dry land, but as an adolescent known as a hellgrammite, they spends 2–3 years developing in fast moving rivers. Just in time for a fall camping adventure, “What’s Wild” explores Pillsbury State Park in Washington.
