It was a last minute decision to head to Colorado to hunt for antelope, but my sporting clays shooting buddy, Erich Rauh, was “all-in” since he had wanted to hunt antelope for years. We laid out a travel plan that would get us to Pueblo, Colorado for the opening of the season, with a few
I’ve been spending a great deal of time at my beloved Alma Mater of late. Yes. I find myself taking a stroll down memory lane every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday AM. A lot has changed in the past twenty-five years, but I still get goosebumps whenever I head to the Taj Mahal. I really don’t
‘Dot your I’s and cross your T’s’ is a well-known metaphor for anyone working on a project before completion. It’s only good common sense to double-check things before a finished product is put forth for public consumption. If things went as anticipated last week, there will be a great deal of attention paid to what
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. You can have a wonderful experience hunting the eastern plains of Colorado, for example, and some of the
I know a lot of us outdoor types are getting into the hunting scene these days, but it would be a big mistake to think that bass season is over. Actually, some of the season’s best bass fishing is in the fall — maybe even into November — and surface lures can still be productive.
I know archery deer season is just getting underway, and it won’t be long until we are pursuing the rest of the “big three” — bear and turkeys, but you don’t want to overlook the small game potential either. I still do some rabbit hunting, an occasional grouse hunt, and I’m willing to chase after
It is really nothing new. In the ‘real world,’ it happens a lot. A business goes sour or takes a downhill slide, and changes are made. People lose their jobs, and the business tries to re-group and get back on the right track with new people in charge. Sometimes changes create a momentary spark giving
Fall is my favorite time of year, and I successfully teed it up every Friday in September. I’m off to a great start here in October. We are currently approaching the tenth hole of the Williamsport Country Club. The teams and organizations we represent will sometimes vary, but I will almost never pick up the
Who are they? Where do they come from, and why do they truly become heroes? Well, they are all around us, and they have been there for decades, often laboring away and receiving no recognition for the good that they do. Yes, they are the unsung heroes that plod along, not seeking praise, just wanting
In last week’s column, I expressed the opinion that it would prove interesting to be ‘a fly on the wall’ in those locker rooms of the upcoming opponents on Southern Columbia’s remaining 2019 schedule. The statement was a part of my question as to what does a coach say to his team in the practice
It happens every year. It happens all too often. And, yet, we never think it will happen to us. Hunting related accidents are simply something that can easily be avoided if we just take a few minutes to use common sense, think things through and not be in an unnecessary rush. Whether it is firearms
