    Many of the hackers and duffers from all over the globe just tuned in for the very first major. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the first weekend in April. Instead of fishing or shoveling the spring snow, I usually lock myself in the basement with a

    Truth be told, I must have been bitten by the “travel bug” at an early age. I have always been a wanderer, frequently daydreaming about my next quest or next travel and adventure destination. But, whenever I am away from my roots here in Lycoming County, I am often caught up in the desire to

    Trout season is about to get underway real soon, and a lot of folks will be on streams and lakes with an assortment of equipment, lures, and baits.

    I’m sure there are a lot of folks who are rejoicing that the warmer weather is starting to move back into Pennsylvania.

    Ken Hunter

    It’s hard to believe, but some of my ice-fishing buddies were still walking on a frozen lake the first week of March, and now some of us are thinking about donning a pair of chest waders and heading to a nearby stream for some trout fishing. Those streams are already being stocked with some pretty

  • Some Hunting Still Available0

    Ken Hunter

    For the serious hunter, there are still some opportunities to get that rifle or shotgun back out into the countryside for several different small game species. This recent winter weather, however, will certainly make hunting a challenge. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you, readers, that ice has taken over much of our outdoor

    The act of fishing is one thing, but the business of catching is a whole different story. I certainly don’t catch as many fish as I would like every time out, but I usually manage to put a bend in my rod often enough to keep me in the pursuit. There’s a vast amount of

    Jon Pries

    Nope, this is not about looking for wood sheds, tool sheds, outhouses, or any other type of outbuilding. This is the time of year when bucks begin to drop their antlers, and hunting for these sheds is a passion for whitetail hunters. There is some thought that temperature changes or fluctuations trigger the shedding of

    I was watching television the other night; it was a program that was fun and entertaining and one that I’m sure many of you have also seen.

    I’m sure it’s no secret that me, my wife, and several of my buddies love to spend time on the ice during the winter months. Over the last few years, safe ice has been hard to come by, but fortunately, we were able to get on the ice several days at the end of December.

    Over the years, if you had asked just about anybody in the country what our national symbol was, the response most likely would have been the bald eagle.

  • Ice Fishing?0

    Ken Hunter

    Why the question mark after the words “ice fishing” in the story title? Well, because it’s been a very questionable activity the past few years. Over the past few years, we ice fishing enthusiasts have had very little time on the hard water since the ice was hard to come by in the first place

    I realize our regular firearms deer season is over for this year, but if you were not able to tag that deer, there are still some opportunities left.

    This past week, my brother, Dave, and I hit an area lake, hoping to pick up some good perch. The lake we were fishing in isn’t known for large numbers of perch, but it does occasionally give up a few good-sized perch. Shortly after leaving the launch, Dave’s white jig and grub combination picked up

    For most young athletes, playing a sport at the college level is their dream. However, getting noticed by college coaches and recruiters today takes more than simply being good at a sport.

    Winter will soon be upon us, and for some, that means holing up in the house, sitting next to a nice warm fireplace, sipping a cup of coffee, and watching a favorite TV show.
