October sets the state’s regular deer hunting season into motion. Boasting opening day of the northern zone, it gives average hunters their first chance to go out and drop a deer. For guys who prefer the relative comfort of the state’s more cultivated region, it gets them psyched-up for the southern zone’s opener next month. Whichever you prefer, Oswego County is split almost equally between the two, offering the best of both zones.
Anybody who knows anything about the Northeast’s outdoors knows Oswego County boasts the best fishing in the country. But fish aren’t the only critters that rely on water for a living. Migratory waterfowl use it, too. And when autumn stirs the urge to fly south into their bird brains, massive quantities take the flight path over Oswego County, making it the most hunter-friendly place under the Atlantic Flyway.
A full day of children’s activities, fishing seminars and outdoor programs are planned for this year’s open house on National Hunting and Fishing Day, Saturday, Sept. 26, at the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Salmon River Fish Hatchery.
