Every kid was given a goodie bag from the PA Game Commission, a Nutri Grain bar, and hearing and eye protection. Participants competed across three distinct age divisions: 8 and under, 9-12, and 13-16. Each

    Jim Webb

    Wow, it’s hard to believe the calendar was flipped to August. Before you know it, the kids will be back to school as the fall sports preparation has already begun. I have been asked many questions lately about tough topics affecting everything imaginable that our future generations will have to deal with. I think the

    The Roving Sportsman… The Birth of a Food Plot!0

    Jon Pries

    Last year, a northern Lycoming County landowner whom I have known for quite some time approached me about helping him design and develop a food plot. He owns 120 acres, which included 50 acres of open fallow fields and a wooded area of about 70 acres that stretched up a hillside and across a mountain

    Wesley Sones

    For 74 years, the sound of Beagles bawling could be heard at the non-profit Lycoming County Beagle Club. Nestled in the hills of Muncy, PA, the club spans 145 acres with 4 enclosed running grounds. In June of 1952, the club was born from humble beginnings. Nine passionate founding members pooled their own hard-earned money

  • “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Miss It”: Rockwell Rocks Another Sleeper0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    One recent Monday out at Muncy’s dandy District, a film-fan friend and I were badly disappointed by Disclosure Day. Ever hopeful for cinematic gold, we shortly thereafter home-streamed the recent sci-fi opus Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. (We’d missed it theatrically — because it played in Williamsport for just one week.) About halfway through,

  • Bowman at its Best0

    Scott Lowery

    On a glorious Sunday afternoon, two days removed from the season-long 100th anniversary celebration of baseball at Historic Bowman Field, it was a beehive of activity. Crosscutters players were getting to know one another between photo sessions and media interviews. Public Relations Director Gabe Sinicropi proudly showed off the diamond’s pristine condition, fans gathered for

  • Gobblers Take Center Stage in Penn’s Woods0

    Press Release

    History provides context on just how good Pennsylvania spring turkey hunters have had it lately. During the state’s first spring turkey season in 1968, the total take was 1,636. Compare that to last year, when hunters harvested an estimated 42,543 birds. Not only was that the largest spring turkey harvest in the last five years,

    Jon Pries

    The “teaser” temperatures in the 80s recently woke us all up to the fact that opening day of spring gobbler season is about to happen! Daytime temperatures are finally settling back to a more normal and more comfortable level, and the snow (I hope!) is gone for the season. Now, it’s a matter of double-checking

  • A Ringing Remembrance of Dave’s Christmas Spirit0

    Jim Webb

    It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go across the West Branch Valley. This Christmas carol seems perfect as we head into December. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years with different musical styles. I’m still old school and like Bing Crosby’s version the best. The song

  • County Hall Corner: Behind Family Photo Frames0

    Blair Steward

    Some people still hold disdain for me, but it would be wasteful not to use myself as a cautionary tale if it opens eyes to our county’s most recent proclamation. I survived a severely harsh childhood home despite having every toy imaginable. My cousins never suspected our family’s reality because I never even considered telling

  • Spring Gobbler Season is Calling0

    Press Release

    Pennsylvania hasn’t always had a spring turkey hunting season, simply because it didn’t always have enough turkeys to sustain one. Things are sure different than decades ago. The 2025 spring gobbler season is just about here. It starts with a one-day hunt for junior license holders and eligible mentored youth on April 26, from one-half

    Experimenting with color combinations is a low-stakes way of participating in seasonal trends. A fairly safe option for any color choice is pairing with denim. Especially if you’re trying out some bold hues, a pair of jeans can be the perfect blank slate to introduce an unexpected, colorful punch to your look. In looking toward

    Any long-time hunter or gun owner has an inherent obligation to pass on his knowledge to an upcoming hunter or firearm enthusiast — whether they are a young person such as a son, daughter, grandchild, or neighborhood acquaintance or perhaps an adult who has become interested in hunting or gun ownership. It is critical to

    Every year, millions of people around the world celebrate the new year. Some cultures, such as Thailand, historically fired off guns to frighten off demons (Don’t do this!!!).

    Going to deer camp is an interesting experience, filled with camaraderie, hardy meals, and never a lack of conversation.
