Whether inspired by a record 2019 harvest or the new hunting opportunities dotting the 2020 calendar, bear hunters are lining up to buy licenses at a rate never before seen. And those who experience success in the coming bear seasons should be prepared for some changes at bear check stations that include limited opportunities for the public to observe bears as they’re checked, and changes to check station locations and hours of operation. Three check stations have changed venue and will be held at different locations than what is published i...

McCready said this photo represents so much of the...
It is nearly here: the week of the whitetail rut that bowhunters and crossbow hunters have lobbied to have added to the autumn archery season. Next week is the big week. In the past, the first two weeks of November have been the ones that archers have hoped would get wary bucks moving past their stands. However, archers have lamented that the week following these two weeks is the one when power-rack bucks that are rarely seen leave their security areas and are out looking for does to breed. "We...

Last fall my son, Bob, called a nice young gobbler in for me on the opening day of the season. To my credit, I took advantage of the shot that was presented and collected my Thanksgiving turkey. However, Bob could not call in a turkey for himself that day, so he had to use his time after work each day to try to run down a bird. He rose early each day so that he could complete his work early in the afternoons, leaving himself several afternoon hours to hunt for a wild turkey. Finally, on...

Like the previous autumn, 2019's fall turkey season was to last only one week in our area (unless you counted the two days prior to the new Saturday opener for rifle deer season). So, I had to try to tag a turkey during the one-week season. Like my friend Scout, I had done my due diligence, scouting for birds a number of times; but the turkeys I'd found vanished a week before the season. Unlike Scout and me, my son, Bob, is not retired and had only limited time to scout prior to the opener, yet...

Pennsylvania has a chance to break last year’s record bear harvest of 4,653 in the coming bear seasons. At first glance, it seems an unlikely possibility given so many bears were taken last fall. But even with last fall’s phenomenal harvest, there’s still about 20,000 black bears roaming Penn’s Woods. And those new and extended bear seasons that helped hunters set the record harvest are back this fall. In fact, an additional week of hunting has been added to the archery bear season, and the four-day general bear season, which starts on a Satur...

My wife, my son and my granddaughter tell me that I live in a confined world. "All you want to do is to go fly-fishing for trout and hunt for wild turkeys in season. You need to broaden your horizons." "I like to go out to eat whenever I can," I protest. "We go to lots of different places." "No, we don't," they tell me. My wife is especially forceful about this. "We eat at the same three or four places most of the time. No, Rich, you're a real stick in the mud." Of course I am hurt by these accu...
