When I was a high school student in western Pennsylvania back in the ’60s, if somebody said they saw a coyote, nobody would have believed it — but that’s certainly not the case anymore. Over the years, I have seen coyotes on several occasions, including dead ones along a highway, and now that we have
The long-awaited 2026 archery season is finally underway, and bowhunters throughout the state should be in for some ideal weather to start their season. As the season progresses, there are a few points to keep in mind to ensure the best flavor possible of the deer you will take. Over the years, folks trying venison
Growing up is hard. Parenting is also tough. Teach wears the pants. I am super soft. Jensen is now a Senior. Where did the time go? He is a talented kid, but he has some flaws. Jensen looks like Mom, but he is starting to act like me. The kid is weighing his options. The
