The month was December. The year was 2017. Pennsylvania remains one of very few states that still prohibits Sunday hunting for deer. It is not often that a hunter has the chance of taking a “buck of a lifetime” which is why the term was coined. I had been hunting at one of my favorite
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Like when you do something for the first time, it seemed a bit strange to write the date 2020 as I prepared for this first column of the new year. Most likely many of us will have a few ‘date stumbles’ when we write our first check or fill out information at
MERRY CHRISTMAS! No matter your beliefs, or non-belief, or how you choose to observe the holiday, this time of the year is like no other. It’s a season of celebration, reflection, consideration, and unification. Memories are made, traditions are continued, and in many cases, new ones are formed. Families and friends gather, and for an
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of the fine readers of Webb Weekly. Special thanks to those who are fans of this page. I am truly humbled by all of your feedback and praise. Before I begin this week’s recollection, I want to give some love to some friends. Thanks to the

The game plan was well developed. Hungry for victory no matter the flavor of the opponent, the offensive strikes probed the objective with quick, decisive moves and devoured the competition. In a matter of moments, the Cereal Bowl was mine! In light of the glut of upcoming college football games, I’m a bit surprised my
As we all know, changes are always in the wind; some we welcome and some we don’t. I am quite sure, however, that a change that is coming to both the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Fish and Boat Commission is one that will be welcomed by almost all outdoor types. The change I’m referring
With just a week remaining until the long-awaited thrill of Christmas morning arrives, filled with the aromas of hot chocolate, a fire in the fireplace, and bacon frying, time is slipping away. There is finding and trimming a tree, getting the house ready for all of the relatives and friends who will drop by and

On December 21, we will experience the “shortest day of the year,” which signals the first day of winter and provides an increasing amount of daylight each day until June 21, the “longest day of the year” and the beginning of summer. As Mother Nature keeps us in the grip of colder winter weather for
I remember when I started deer hunting as a high school kid, there were basically two methods commonly used to bag your deer. One method often used with fair success was the deer drive; several hunters would “post” in a line — maybe on a side hill — and several more hunters would line up
