  • The Roving Sportsman… A Pennsylvania Tradition0

    Jon Pries

    On this past Monday, more than a million hunters hit Penn’s woods in pursuit of whitetail deer.

    Jon Pries

    How often have you heard someone say that they just don’t like the taste of venison? Or, say 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

  • Turkey Calling: You Don’t Have to be an Expert.0

    Ken Hunter

    Over the years, I’ve talked with a number of hunters who said they would like to hunt turkeys, but they don’t feel confident with a turkey call.

  • The Roving Sportsman… Chronic Wasting Disease0

    The scourge of school shootings in recent years sends a shudder through every parent with a child in school because it seems that these horrors can hit anytime and anywhere.
