Meet Cole Eiswerth, our hunting & fishing ambassador in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. We are going to do some interesting and useful conversation about hunting & fishing. Let's start the conversation: First off, where are you from, what do you do, and how did you get into it?  I am from Central Pennsylvania, Jersey Shore to be exact.  I am currently a college student at West Virginia University majoring in Environmental Soil and Water Conservation. I got into that because I want to help and educate the people so they can help the world, especially the environment, so future generations can have the opportunity to experience all the outdoor activities that are available. Tell us your life story as seen through fishing and hunting (skip all that boring stuff that doesn’t involve being outside)  I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. It all began at my great-grandfathers pond, watching a bobber dunk under and then reeling in bluegill with my father and brother. I

(Investigations are ongoing by FWS and WGFD regarding grizzly bear attacks on two hunters in Wyoming.) Recent bear attacks on two hunters in Wyoming have once again established the extensive presence of grizzly bears in the region.

As per comments released by WGFD — Wyoming Game and Fish Department  — the first of the two attacks took place on September 24th towards the evening. The incident took place in the elk hunting area of Thorofare. The injured hunter was hospitalized after being airlifted from the site of the attack.

With more than 250,000 acres of wilderness, 124 named peaks and 147 lakes, Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park offers endless outdoor activities including hiking, camping, climbing, and, of course, trout fishing. If you’re planning a fishing excursion to RMNP, be sure to arrive as early as possible. Parking at the more popular trailheads is very limited and fills up quickly, requiring shuttle access from Estes Park and other towns if there are no available spots. Plus, you’ll have better luck catching trout in the cooler hours of the morning. Ideal timing for these locations is between July and August on less-crowded weekdays, though you’re sure to have a pleasant time in June and September even if the fish aren’t biting as much.
