  • The Roving Sportsman… Opening Week Tactics0

    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

  • The Roving Sportsman… Is Your Vest Ready?0

    Jon Pries

    April 25 is the date of this year’s Youth Hunt for spring gobblers, and the regular season opens on May 2. So, my question to you is, “Is Your Vest Ready?” With the arrival of spring-like weather, it is easy to get caught up in all those outdoor chores that have been put off by

  • When in Rome … Sing Like Bocelli … And Fall in Love, Italian-Style0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Appearing at the end of closing credits for Solo Mio comes this simple phrase: “Deo Gratias.” That’s Latin for “Thanks Be to God” — and it’s appropriate not only due to the film’s Italian setting, but also because that’s the way most viewers will feel after seeing it. Indeed, this popular rom-com — just finishing

  • The Spirit of the Olympics0

    Scott Lowery

    It was a typical Sunday morning as the pastor stood before the parishioners making the weekly church announcements. As he departed to join the choir for the formal entrance to begin the service, he suddenly reappeared, stating, “One more announcement, the hockey game is 1-1 after two periods.” The congregation nodded and smiled approvingly. The

  • The Roving Sportsman… An Introduction to Western Hunting0

    Jon Pries

    If you have ever daydreamed about doing some hunting out west, there are some inexpensive opportunities available that won’t break the bank like a 2-week fully guided pack horse trip for elk and mule deer might do.

  • A Proud Pennsylvania Tradition0

    Jim Webb

    I look forward to my winter ride up 44 North to Poust Taxidermy every year. It’s always great to talk about the past buck season with Dana Poust and Sam, the Taxidermy lady. I can’t think of a better thing to do on a cold, snow-covered day than to hear the stories and discuss the

    Jon Pries

    As winter begins to tighten its grip on our daily activities with below-freezing temperatures, staying indoors seems like an increasingly good option.

    With the recent arrival of our first snowfall of the season, we are gently reminded that Christmas Day is a mere two weeks away!

  • Much More Than a Game0

    Scott Lowery

    The initial awareness of the news seemingly went in one ear and out the other. Another night of senseless violence in Williamsport resulted in the shooting of two teenagers, apparently unrelated incidents, leaving one victim dead and another hospitalized. Our society has entered a dark world where repeated similar occurrences, whether local or national, begin

  • The Way He Was: Remembering Robert Redford0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Situation Hopeless … But Not Serious is a quirky little black-and-white film from 1965. Set near the end of World War II, it concerns two U.S. flyers kept hidden in a German basement after bailing out over enemy territory; their kooky captor winds up holding them long after the war has ended — by not

  • The Roving Sportsman… Ensuring Great-Tasting Venison0

    Jon Pries

    How often have you heard someone say that they just don’t like the taste of venison, or that they have tried it once, but just didn’t care for it? No doubt it was not cooked properly, or worse yet, was not handled properly from the beginning. Over the years, I am pleased to say that

    The statewide archery antlered and antlerless deer season will begin this year on Saturday, October 4, and as the season progresses and nears that “magical” time of the rut, bowhunters will be spending an increasing amount of time in the woods. While hunting from the ground or in a ground blind can be successful, most

    It’s hard to believe, but hunting seasons are soon to begin. I know, woodchuck hunting has been going on all summer, and I even managed to bag one myself, but I’m talking about our typical fall hunting seasons.

    Joseph W. Smith III

    This week’s headline nods to the fact that the movie Jaws is now 50 years old; but it also admits that a single Webb article can’t possibly cover all the fascinating facts about this film: the actors; the music; the box-office bonanza; Peter Benchley’s original book; and of course, the infamous rigors of actual production,

    Jon Pries

    Young groundhogs, like the young of any specie, are cute. But they quickly grow out of their “cute” stage and before long are spreading their wings and traveling to new locations, where they will burrow holes as entryways to their dens. All too often, these holes are a problem — either in open fields or

    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.
