  • Hyner Lodge Foundation, A Recreational Facility for Veterans To Have Open House Saturday, March 26 0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Many times, our military veterans who serve our country courageously, may not bear the physical scars of battle. Many may instead, have unseen psychological scars that dog them from things they have seen or experienced during their service. There is an organization and recreational facility called Hyner Lodge in nearby Clinton County, in the area

  • It’s Almost Trout Season!0

    Ken Hunter

    A couple of weeks ago, my fishing buddies and I were still talking about ice fishing on several area lakes but with the recent higher temperatures and rainfall, that all came to a rather sudden end. For us diehard fishermen, however, the change in weather simply means a change in tactics and gear because fishing

  • A Beagle Can Lead to More Rabbits

    A Beagle Can Lead to More Rabbits0

    Ken Hunter

    When I started to hunt rabbits as a high-school kid, I remember that I would take my old single barrel H&R sixteen gauge and head out to a friend’s farm. We didn’t own a dog, so I just worked my way through field edges and along brushy tree lines kicking brush and watching for running

  • A Cup of Coffee and a Conversation0

    Jim Webb

    As most of you know, I’m an early riser. Many of my mornings begin at one of our local eateries with a cup of coffee, a glass of water, and sometimes breakfast. I think it’s very important to get out and about in this world we live in. To have a routine that includes socializing

    Ice Fishing: It Puts Food on the Table0

    Ken Hunter

    Judging from the numbers of people I see on the ice these days, it appears that ice-fishing is a growing winter activity. Not only is ice-fishing an enjoyable way to spend a day, but it is also, as the title of this story suggests, an opportunity to put some delicious food on the table. Now

    Our 14th Annual Webb Weekly Uncle Ron’s Monster Buck Contest is in the books. What an amazing hunting season it was.

  • Soft Plastics Revolutionized Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    When I first got into fishing for bass, pike, and walleyes back in the ’60s, you either used some sort of bait, or plastic or wooden lures that imitated live bait but then in 1949, an Ohio lure maker began molding soft plastic worms, and that revolutionized the entire lure making industry and the way

    Brr, kids. It is quite cold. Bundle up and stay warm. They say a major snowstorm is on its way. Great. While COVID continues to dominate the headlines.

  • What’s Happening?0

    Ken Hunter

    For the hunting and fishing enthusiasts, we’ve hit that brief period of the year where most of our hunting is about over; it’s too cold to wade a local stream with the fly rod, and it’s just now getting cold enough to make ice for the hard-water gang. Yes, we can still hunt deer with

    Happy New Year, kids. Trust all is well. Yes. I have been extremely busy of late. The basketball season is in full throttle. While the SJNRA Golden Knights are usually the topic of discussion. A few have asked if I am still fishing. Absolutely. I am not going to lie. I would rather talk about

    In the days leading up to Christmas, Jim Webb and Steph Nordstrom gathered the Webb Weekly team for a holiday luncheon.

    Jon Pries

    As we wrap up all of what has occurred in our lives throughout the calendar year 2021, many folks would probably say, “Good riddance!” Upon close review, however, there were no doubt many positive things that occurred during the past year that we can be thankful for. Unfortunately, all of the good was too often

    Ken Hunter

    Winter is beginning to set in, and as most of my readers know, I don’t let the cold and snow keep me from one of my favorite pastimes — fishing. While you can still hit some open water on rivers and streams, I’ll concentrate most of my time on frozen lakes. When I was just

    Several years ago, I mentioned the culvert pipe buck in a Webb article and promised that someday I would tell the story. Well, I’ve been stuck in COVID quarantine for ten days during deer season. I can’t think of a better time than now to keep my promise! The year was 1993. A new hunting

    Fresh snowfall can bring a hush over any landscape and, temporarily at least, create a perfect picture scene.

    Where to begin? I am officially back on the sidelines — coaching hoops here at St. John Neumann Regional Academy. I continue to enjoy hanging out with the boys.

    Awakening on Monday morning to an inch of white covering the entire landscape was a (“somewhat”) gentle reminder that Thanksgiving and Christmas are rapidly approaching.

  • Christmas Shopping for a Fisherman0

    Ken Hunter

    First off, let me be clear, I don’t know much about shopping — that is, going into stores and buying things unless those things are hunting and fishing things. I know even less about buying “online” or whatever it is called when you order stuff with your device. That being said, every year about this

    Jamie Spencer

    I love this time of year, and North Central PA is now shining. Fall brings us so many vibrant colors. Change is in the air. It is just a shame that it gets dark at 6:00 p.m. — this totally dampens my outdoor activities. Fishing is my passion. It serves as my zen. I am

  • Target Bass This Fall0

    Ken Hunter

    I know that when the leaves begin to turn, and the temperatures begin to fall, much of our thinking is centered around the upcoming hunting seasons, but fall is also an excellent time to target bass.

    Maybe I should be a little more considerate and rephrase that story title and say our “not so attractive” winged creature. If you haven’t already guessed, I’m referring to the common and frequently sighted turkey vulture. The vulture’s featherless red or pinkish head and neck are anything but cute, and their eating habits only add

    Recently, I started to watch a video wherein the presenter was relating his opinion that planting food plots for wildlife was not really a good idea.
