At a time in our history when fake news and political correctness seem to dominate our daily lives, and at a time when there seems to be a lack of concern for accepting responsibility for our actions, being reliable or showing respect for our fellow man, perhaps we need to properly identify just who America’s
The fall season is no doubt a very active time for most everybody; leaf raking, grass cutting and a host of other outside jobs that should be completed before the cold weather sets in. For the hunting and fishing types fall is especially active given that all kinds of hunting seasons are available not to
Whenever I am feeling blue, I stop by Wegmans to say hello to my crew. I am counting down the days until I can join them full time. My older retired friends come in all shapes and sizes. They are good for my morale as they are all fans of this column. We talk fishing
Legendary radio broadcaster, Paul Harvey, often entertained and informed his listeners with show segments he would entitle as ‘the rest of the story.’ Such is the case for me today. In a column penned at the conclusion of this year’s Little League Baseball World Series (Schreppel’s Strike), I referenced the occasion of South Williamsport resident
The 2020 fall turkey season is fast approaching, and in our general area, you can pursue turkeys starting Nov. 2 till Nov. 16 and then again on Nov. 28 and 29. Dates vary a bit in different WMUs, so be sure to check your Hunting and Trapping Digest for the unit you plan to hunt.
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
‘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’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
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
