There’s no question about it, when it comes to hunting in Pennsylvania the whitetail deer is king. No other hunting in our state garners as much attention as deer hunting does and I wouldn’t be surprised it’s the same for most other states. In spite of what some may say, deer are still readily available,
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
Rain has soaked the area fields and teams, and given us a start to the fall season rarely seen in this area of the country. The entire run has been one big adjustment as schedules are shifted, weeks are overloaded, and field crews are putting in extra time to get games in on time. It’s
“Skeptics insist that golf is merely taking a natural dip after a once in a lifetime phenomenon. It’s no secret that golf’s heyday coincided with Tiger Wood’s rise and his 14 major championships. He is also to blame for those thousands of Craigslist ads for used clubs. But after the infidelity scandals and loads of
I have been blessed to be able to travel the state, the country and the globe both during my working years and now in retirement. Yet, I am always amazed that when I am away from home, my mind constantly wanders back to Northcentral Pennsylvania — the area of my roots. I feel very fortunate

My guess is, archery hunters probably started the portable treestand trend. Pulling back a recurve bow in the presence of a deer often resulted in
Schedule makers had extinguished the Friday Night lights for the greater Williamsport high school football teams on the season’s fourth weekend as Loyalsock, Montoursville, South Williamsport and Williamsport all boarded buses for road trips of various lengths. South Williamsport had the shortest journey as the Mounties took their perfect 3-0 record onto the Muncy Indians

“Whatever you do kid. Do not mix sports with politics. Call the game. Describe the action. Paint the picture with your words. If folks like you, they will continue to read or listen. People could care less about your opinions or views.” Buck Byham. Sports and politics do not mix, and yet they continue to
Before you head into the woods, it is important to practice with any archery equipment prior to the season. Make sure you shoot enough to regain your proficiency and that you are completely comfortable well before you are presented with an opportunity to take a shot at any game.

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. While I have to agree that being an expert turkey caller is certainly desirable and at times maybe even critical to a successful hunt, it’s not always an
With the click of a mouse, the push of a few buttons, or the press of a thumb against a screen a person’s entire world can change for the better or worse in this new world in which we live. Social Media dominates the scene, and in this new landscape players, coaches, and parents navigate
