  • The Roving Sportsman… A Plan for Winter Feeding0

    Jon Pries

    Last winter certainly was a “doozy!” While we previously had a string of relatively mild winters, we can easily recall getting slammed last season with up to 30 plus inches of snow that crippled travel and many outdoor activities for days. Some predictions indicate that we may be in for another harder than usual winter.

    Ken Hunter

    I climbed out of my stand last week near quitting time and headed for my vehicle about a 20-minute walk away. I spotted a couple of does at about 40 or 50 yards but definitely out of my compound bow range. I continued a slow quiet walk when I heard that familiar cluck from a

  • The Roving Sportsman… Getting Into Shape for Hunting0

    Jon Pries

    Tragically, every year as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all-too-real that they may come across a hiker or camper that has passed

    Call in a Buck0

    Ken Hunter

    When we think about calling in a game animal, we usually associate that idea with calling in a turkey or maybe even a coyote; but as many archery hunters know, calling can also be very effective when hunting during the rut. The rut will go through three phases as we head into late October and

    Ken Hunter

    It’s a good thing the Pennsylvania Game Commission gives out a Hunting and Trapping Digest each year because it’s becoming more and more difficult to keep track of what is in season and when. When I started hunting as a young man, you hunted big game with a rifle and small game with a shotgun,

  • Our “Ugliest” Winged Creature0

    Ken Hunter

    Maybe I should be a little more considerate and rephrase that story title and say our “not so attractive” winged creature.

    Jon Pries

    If you did a survey, particularly of older hunters, I bet most began their hunting days by tramping the woods searching for squirrels.

    Gypsy moth caterpillars can be devastating. While their usual appetite is for the leaves of oak trees, they will gladly consume the leaves of just about any other tree as well and will even dine on pine tree needles and grass when they run out of other vegetation to devour.
