Sometimes the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) authorizes an agency to conduct a survey for it. The agency has usually come up with results that the PGC desires. (Imagine that.) One of its more recent surveys was conducted to gauge support for a reintroduction of pine martens, small but deadly predators. Predictably, this survey supported the commission’s goal of reintroduction with a 90% favorability rate. This did not reflect how sportsmen felt about it. In 2023 the Unified Sportsmen of Pennsylvania (USP) conducted a survey that garnered 4...

When I got hooked by fly-fishing more than 55 years ago, I lost at least several flies on each fly-fishing adventure. Flies weren’t outrageously expensive in those long-lost days; but as a student, I did not have extra cash lying around for store-bought flies. I knew that enthusiastic fly-fishermen tied their own flies, and the handwriting on the wall told me that I’d better learn to tie flies if fly-fishing was going to be affordable. I had run into Ralph Haney and his son Randy on several of my adventures. Ralph was a fine fly-fisherman, and...

Williamsburg Winter Sports Preview 2024-25...
A chance to sign up in sixth grade led to a Williamsburg freshman placing 20 out of 247 runners for states for cross country, one of the first in a couple of years. That girl is Ava Dixon. "At the end of sixth grade, my math teacher (who is the head cross country coach) asked if anybody wanted to sign up to run," she said. "I had never heard of cross country before, but a couple of friends and I decided to sign up and try it out." Dixon is the daughter of John and Shakirah Dixon of...

It was a rough autumn for deer. While fly-fishing and while scouting for wild turkeys, I found a number of deer lying dead for no apparent reasons. Though I discovered these deer after the onset of the autumn archery season, none of the deer that I found appeared to have been shot by archers who then failed to recover them. The first of these deer was just the skeleton of a dead doe (female deer). I had been fishing along a favorite section of a local creek and had crossed the creek to approach the next fishable pocket of water. There she was....
I think that black bears are the most magnificent mammals in Pennsylvania. They symbolize wilder times. Although they are generally passive and fearful of humans, a mature bear is strong enough to overpower even the toughest of men. I have run into a number of bruins while I have been fishing. Thankfully, none of them have been aggressive; and though I was concerned about them, I was never really afraid. Several people I know have had some recent encounters with bears that have not been altogether pleasant. One woman who lives in a rural area...

According to Head Coach Dave Marko, the Central Scarlet Dragon wrestling squad is ready to tackle the 2024 season. In his 11th season as head coach and 29th season overall, he says the team is looking to qualify for District Duals and send as many individuals deep into the postseason as possible. Senior Thaide Mickel and junior Kaden Horn will be the team captains. Marko said they have several wrestlers who had success last season and are looking to build on a strong foundation. "We have a nice...
With recent rains reducing the threat of wildfire, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is lifting the temporary ban on building fires on state game lands. While camping on state game lands is prohibited, regulations allow game lands users to build small fires for cooking or warming purposes. However, with much of the state under drought conditions and wildfires popping up, the Game Commission on Nov. 5 enacted a temporary ban on game lands campfires. Conditions have improved since, allowing for the ban to be lifted. The state Department of...
Although I have tagged a number of bucks during my 60-plus years of hunting, I have failed to take some of the ones that presented good shots. These bucks would have been downed by nearly every other deer hunter I know. The most recent of the bucks that got by me was one that ambled by me on a crossing that my friend Brady had advised me to watch. It was about 10:00 on a sunny opening morning of deer season. I heard crunching in the leaves and saw a buck with a big rack easing toward some laurel behind me. I swiveled around as the buck...
Saturday (Nov. 23) ushers in the statewide traditional four-day rifle bear season. As with deer hunting, archers have had early dibs on opportunities to hunt bears. Also, an early season for muzzleloader hunters and some rifle hunters occurred during late October. Significant numbers of bruins were tagged during these hunts. Last year, the traditional rifle season accounted for slightly more than one-third of the bears that were harvested. Many of these bears were taken by hunters who were hunting out of camps, especially in northcentral...

Next Monday, Nov. 18, will end my autumn outings along the stream and in the woods. If I do not chicken out, I will be having my right knee replaced. Over the years I have done all I can to avoid this, but now it is necessary. Many people who have had replacements have encouraged me that my surgery will get me back to doing most of my favorite activities. When I decided to have the surgery performed, I opted to hold off until after the beautiful days for autumn trout fishing and until after the fall turkey season. These are two of my favorite...
Claysburg Vs. Bishop Guilfoyle...
In their regular-season meeting, Claysburg-Kimmel dominated Glendale, winning 47-0. But Friday night’s District 6 Class 1A quarterfinal at Dr. Roy F. Baker Field told a different story. The fifth-seeded Bulldogs faced a much tougher fight against the fourth-seeded Vikings, with both teams trading scores through most of the game. Claysburg-Kimmel managed to secure a 32-22 win, propelled by two touchdowns from Mark Lattieri, who made a notable return from injury. Claysburg-Kimmel’s victory boosted their record to 7-4, earning them a spot in the s...
Central's hopes of reaching the District 6 Class 3A championship were dashed Friday night as they were shut out by Penn Cambria, 33-0, in the semifinal game held at Penn Cambria High School Athletic Field. This defeat marks Central's third consecutive loss in the district title game, where they have faced the Panthers each year for the last four seasons. Despite the outcome, Central started the game with a promising drive, threatening to score in the second quarter before being halted by a...
Northern Bedford wins the semi-playoff game and moves to the district championship. The Panthers knocked off Meyersdale 30-14. Player of the Game: Ben Clark had 31 carries for 170 yards and 3 touchdowns. Clark made a huge accomplishment of hitting 1000 rushing yards this season. Clark stepped up big time this season even though the Panthers lost senior running back Adam Johnson last year. Play of the Game: in the second quarter, the Panthers pulled out a fake punt. Aaron Bowers threw the pass fr...
Next Monday, Nov. 11, is Veteran’s Day. It is one of the year’s most important days, since it honors men and women who sacrificed much so that the United States can remain free. Several years ago I wrote a column about my dad and my uncles who had served in the military during World War II. I mentioned that Dad, my Uncle Paul Tate, and my Uncle Bill Rhodes had served in the US Navy. I noted that my Uncle Red White was a member of the US Army and that my Uncle Sheldon “Smoky” Tate had been a Marine. I also noted that my Uncle Blaine Reigh,...

The Claysburg-Kimmel Bulldogs came up just short in their attempt to tie the game late, as Mount Union held on for a 21-13 victory. With the Bulldogs driving, Mason Campagna's pass was tipped and fell incomplete, turning the ball over to the Trojans, who ran out the clock. Despite the loss, Claysburg-Kimmel still secured the Inter-County Conference's North Division title through a three-way tiebreaker with Mount Union and Moshannon Valley. In the head-to-head matchups, the Bulldogs finished...
Last year’s autumn turkey season began with a thud for me. Bob, my son, and I were to hook up and hunt together on the opening day. However, he did not show up at daybreak, and I couldn’t reach him on the cellphone he and my wife “advise” me to carry. I guessed I didn’t have service. Anyhow, after speaking with another hunter about where each of us would hunt that morning, I progressed out a Jeep trail then entered the woods where I had seen turkeys a couple days before. I hunted all morning but had no luck. I decided to go home for lunch. On...
Juniata Valley secured a dominant 44-22 win over Southern Huntingdon on Friday night, thanks to a second-half surge sparked by a refocused offensive line and key defensive plays. Despite holding a two-score lead at halftime, the Green Hornet coaching staff was dissatisfied with the offensive line’s first-half performance. The halftime message was clear, and the line responded by opening up the ground game, leading to an all-but-one-pass second half. The Green Hornets used their improved run game and timely defense to control the second half, e...
The Central Lady Scarlet Dragons had an outstanding regular season, playing a very difficult schedule finishing the regular season with an 11-4-1 record with some great games against Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference champs Bedford and Bishop Guilfoyle Academy. The Dragons, however, dropped a disappointing 1-0 game against Juniata in the 2A District 6 quarterfinal playoff game. Central coach Randy Trexler said after the game, “We lost 0-1, Juniata caught us in the third minute of the game o...
