It may be too late to offer up some advice regarding what Halloween costume trick-or-treaters might want to wear this week as they go door-to-door, seeking the sweet treats. But, if their intention may include ringing the doorbells of National Football League fans, I would suggest they not masquerade themselves as NFL referees. Indeed, I
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
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.
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
