Why Did It Have to be Snakes?
It s so nice to see the sunshine and hear the birds chirp again, but one thing that I don t like to see is some of the creatures that have started to make their presence known on my property.
Since I was a child, I have never been a fan of snakes. I don t see anything to like about them, and let s face it, they re creepy as hell, if I m being honest. during my life, I ve never really had to deal with snakes too much. I always knew they were in this area, but I never had the displeasure of running into one while out exploring the Hudson Valley.

Youth Hunters Can Now Hunt Big Game With Firearms in NY
The DEC has announced a new opportunity for young hunters in New York state. Included in this year s budget was legislation that now allows youths ages 12 and 13 to hunt deer with a firearm or crossbow.
Youth hunters ages 12 and 13 years old can hunt big game with a firearm under the supervision of an experienced adult hunter in upstate counties that opt-in to participate. For almost 20 years hunters in this age range have been able to safely hunt deer and bear with archery equipment and small game firearms.
Up until now, New York was the only state that didn t allow 12-and-13-year-olds to hunt big game with a firearm. The Environmental Conservation Law 11-0935 is a temporary measure that will pilot lowering the age through 2023.
Erica Higgs and her family, on the other hand, are veteran campers. The more remote the better, says Higgs, of Poughkeepsie, who does tent camping with her 5-year-old daughter, husband, and dog, Noodle Bean. The attraction to us is being away from people.
Her personal favorites are The Kenneth L Wilson Campground in Mount Tremper, which offers 76 tent and trailer sites or Cherry Plain State Park in Petersburg which has just 10 lakeside camp sites.
Camping is hot thanks to pandemic
After initially bracing for an economic disaster as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic campgrounds were closed for much of the spring many New York campgrounds and RV resort operators ended up having a banner year in 2020 as people went camping in record numbers, according to the Campground Owners of New York (CONY).
