Primitive skills camping weekend coming to Woodsboro
Primal Knowledge, on Buffington Road in Woodsboro, is hosting a free fall gathering and camping weekend Nov. 9 to 11. Activities will include primitive open-hearth pottery firing, flint snapping, the process of “retting” mulberry tree bark for cordage; building a bark cordage deer snare; community meals; music; and a primitive bow shoot on the last morning. Guy Neal is founder of Primal Knowledge and a primitive skills expert. For more information on this event and to register, visit www.primitive-skills.com.
Lefty Kreh Memorial Conservation Fund established
Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, in partnership with Trout Unlimited, has established the Lefty Kreh Memorial Conservation Fund in memory of legendary angler and instructor Bernard “Lefty” Kreh, a Frederick native. The organizations note that Kreh was influential in freshwater and saltwater fly fishing and his casting techniques “revolutionized” the sport. The fund will provide support to important conservation projects advanced by BTT and TU, including “joint projects that reflect the fishing continuum in most angler’s lives, from cold water fisheries to the flats and back again.” To make a donation or learn more, visit www.bonefishtarpontrust.org.
Fall turkey season is open
The fall turkey season in Allegany, Garrett and Washington counties is open and runs through Nov. 4, with a bag limit of one turkey per hunter. The 2018 Wild Turkey Observation Survey Summary shows turkey reproduction in western Maryland was below average, but populations remain healthy and sustainable. In the fall, wild turkeys will feed heavily on acorns in areas where they are abundant. When acorns are scarce, according to a DNR news release, wild turkeys will frequent fields more often. Complete hunting regulations can be found at www.dnr.maryland.gov.
Where is the fall color change?
For leaf peepers, so far this fall has been a bust. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources says blame it on the wet summer and warm fall temperatures — except for Garrett County where there were reports of some of snow on a recent weekend. Reports from Washington County are “drab” when it comes to leaf color. Park Rangers from Greenbrier, Cunningham Falls and Seneca Creek state parks report trees are still in leafy green, with hints of color beginning to show. Same for Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
