Now that a successful hunt has come to an end and there is venison hanging on the meat pole let’s take a look at doing your own butchering and processing. Hopefully, you were able to keep the meat clean and cool after making that well-placed shot, and the meat has been able to hang and
Followers of Lycoming College football may only know Steve Wiser as the sidelined defensive guru prancing up and down the Warriors bench area dressed in his familiar shorts and pullover. That is totally understandable as since 1977 he has served the college continuously as the team’s defensive coordinator. Earlier this month a coat and tie
On a welcomed warm October afternoon, sunny skies bathed the South Williamsport tennis courts as the Mountaineers hosted rival Montoursville with the regular season winding down. A short-sleeved crowd settled in on their lawn chairs with many spectators’ eyes affixed on court #1 where the Mounties freshman sensation Olivia Dorner was set to take-on Montoursville’s
Montoursville native Vince Molesky is coming off of a spectacular summer. The former Mount St. Mary’s product continues to amaze me. He was undrafted out of a college, but fortunate enough to sign with Independent. Molesky played with the Wichita Wingnuts of the American Association in 2015. He was then traded to the Gateway Grizzlies
I must admit that I do not pursue walleyes with the same dedication that I have for trout, bass or even panfish but I do enjoy some dedicated walleye fishing on occasion. In previous years I would often travel to various locations in Canada just for the opportunity to catch walleyes and many of those
Tracking Dogs: The heavy frost on the orchard grass and the full moon above made it visible enough to make our way across the meadow, even though it was two hours before sunrise. The bulls were already bugling and, as we started into the dark timber, you could hear the soft mewing of nearby cow
As October ushers in autumn, Major League Baseball’s marathon 162-game, six-month, 30-team quest for supremacy has seen 20 of its membership fall by the wayside leaving their fans with only the annual recourse of the defeated ‘wait till next year.’ For the other ten teams that made it to the finish line with varying degrees
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
