News and notes from around the outdoors:

Get a look at the agenda for the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners’ meeting Jan. 30-Feb. 1.

• A proposed study of Presque Isle State Park visitation is designed to show the value of the park and how funding cuts harm visits and the Erie economy.
• A stretch of French Creek in Crawford County is expected to reopen to public use by Saturday.
• Steelhead streams are largely iced over, but that ice should provide great fishing opportunities elsewhere. Read the weekly FishOn! fishing report.
• A horse was shot during a deer hunt on Assateague Island National Seashore. Again, a horse.
• The man accused of killing Wildlife Conservation Officer David L. Gove in November faces the death penalty.
• Pennsylvania isn’t the only place where Sunday hunting is at issue. Try Virginia.
