First off, let me be clear, I don’t know much about shopping — that is, going into stores and buying things unless those things are hunting and fishing things. I know even less about buying “online” or whatever it is called when you order stuff with your device. That being said, every year about this
I will start by saying that the world seems to be filled with misinformation and hearsay, which quickly leads to confusion and misunderstanding. Adding to the mix are the occasional rumors that take foot and circulate, sometimes without any true substance or confirmation. While we should be skeptical of such rumors that have not been

Tragically, every year as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all-too-real that they may come across a hiker or camper that has passed
When we think about calling in a game animal, we usually associate that idea with calling in a turkey or maybe even a coyote; but as many archery hunters know, calling can also be very effective when hunting during the rut. The rut will go through three phases as we head into late October and
It was absolutely pouring, and I was keeping my fingers crossed. Perhaps they will come to their senses and cancel the game in the mud. My crew and I set up outside the visiting Jersey Shore press box. We were huddled under a pop-up tent that was doing its best to protect us from the
This Sunday evening at the Genetti Hotel, the West Branch Valley Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame will induct 12 new individuals to its membership rolls. Among those to be recognized is former South Williamsport High School and Lycoming College football standout Jason Zalonis. His selection makes the Hall of Fame a Zalonis
As a new basketball season is quickly upon us, I’ve been reflecting on the coaches I was privileged to have in my basketball career, who had — and some who continue to have — a tremendous impact on my life. One never knows who may enter a young boy’s life and either change his direction
Everyone’s an expert. Yet, no one has the answers. What to do about COVID remains a hot and controversial topic. It continues to divide us. The conversation about masks and winter sports is trending. We need to find some common ground. The title of this piece is a question that I entertain on a daily
Nightmares, defined as disturbing dreams associated with negative feelings, such as anxiety or fear. We’ve all experienced them at one time or another. Personally, despite not hitting the sack until well after midnight on those evenings last month spent watching the televised team celebrations of the American and National League champions headed to the World
Like most outdoorsmen right now, I, too, am spending as much time as I can trying to tag a deer. After one nine-hour day sitting in a treestand and another half day in my stand in the rain, I still have all my deer tags. While I’m caught up in the hunting scene right now,
This is the time of year that all archery whitetail hunters dream of. They schedule their vacations, complete the “honey-do” lists and spend every minute possible in the woods in pursuit of the wise old bucks that are lovesick and searching for a friendly doe. For about a week or two week period, the bucks
