Sorry I can't figure out how to make my own post and figured this is the place to start. I need help....here is the story. I live in Ovid ny and love running tipsters with my lab. Due to poor population in my area there are few spots to do this. When I was a younger...23 now..me and my father would do good in the big local govt owned grass fields. Today all of those fields are mowed pasture that they can make make money on. Understandable on there part. But here's where I get riled up. Lodi, which Is a small town just to the south, has a huge I'd guess 1000 acre grass field great for wild life. In the years past we started seeing a solid hen population. This year we had good numbers of rooster and hen birds, even started seeing woodcock in the small thickets within the field. In my option this is one of the only fields in our county that had native birds. Yesterday and today the US wildlife management group, along with local fire dept. Burned most of the field down with intent on finishing it today. How can they justify ruining that much wildlife habbitat. Woodcock are not going to stop there on there migration any more, deer are not going to be able to bed and feed there any more....the struggling pheasants are now getting drove from cover and I could go on all day but I was just wondering if anyone had an idea who I could call or write with my concerns. Dec is out of the picture because it's govt land. This group has 4-5 more fields to burn just in our small community. Thanks Sent from my VS870 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Got over to otisco last night and casted for a couple hours....nothing...a few fish surfacing but I think it was way to calm. Water seemed a couple feet lower as well. I have a buddy that lives on Oneida and he says the bite is real hot and heavy right now. Sent from my VS870 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Man I am jealous... I can tell you guys are up north. Early ducks has not yet opened here.... and as far as Woodstock.....very disappointing...ran my dog yesterday afternoon for a couple hours and came up empty handed...the migration hasn't happened yet...and the natives are few and far between....pheasants are making a slow but steady comeback...good luck guys and keep the posts comming.

I was wondering if there are any public access for shore fishing over there. I live on the west side of Cayuga and only fished there once when I was young. I have a 14 fishing boat but I am not equipped to fish at night which sounds like when the bite is happening. I am not asking for a honey hole or anything just wondering to low down on where I might be able to go to get a hook up. Sent from my VS870 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app
