I’m sure most hunters would agree that when it comes to deer hunting, the most exciting thing to see would be a giant trophy buck standing broadside forty yards away, and that’s especially exciting if that view is through your rifle scope. Well, as we all know, that scenario doesn’t always happen; however, I have
Two teams met up in Muncie, Ind. It was only an exhibition. Ball State hosted Mansfield University. The game didn’t count. It was more of a glorified scrimmage. Several D1 teams do this in the preseason. This contest featured two local standouts. Brothers Hill. David and Davion. David is a junior guard for the Mounties.

Pennsylvania’s statewide archery bear season ran from October 18-25, and the muzzleloader season statewide was from October 23-25.

The initial awareness of the news seemingly went in one ear and out the other. Another night of senseless violence in Williamsport resulted in the shooting of two teenagers, apparently unrelated incidents, leaving one victim dead and another hospitalized. Our society has entered a dark world where repeated similar occurrences, whether local or national, begin
There I was in Lamade Gymnasium. Dutch Burch Court. Lycoming College. The locals refer to my spot as Spencer Row. I’ve sat in the same area for the past 30 years. My rents used to join me, but then they moved. Teach and Jensen will occasionally show for the weekend matinees. Not tonight. They both

The Appalachian Trail stretched before him like a ribbon through time, cutting through the same forests he once roamed
Sure, it’s fall and the hunting crowd is spending a lot of time roaming the woods and fields in search of game, and you never know what you might encounter. Sometimes, however, we have wildlife encounters even when not in hunting situations. Case in point, a couple of weeks ago, I went out to my
