When Pennsylvania's State Senate passed its version of a bill to allow hunting on Sundays, it appeared that limited Sunday hunting was going to be permitted in Pennsylvania. The bill allowed three days of Sunday hunting, including one in the traditional rifle deer season. Then the bill was moved to the Pennsylvania House Game and Fisheries Committee where passage seemed likely. However, SB 147, which would allow this limited hunting, ran into a significant roadblock in committee. The bill would...

Saturday (Oct. 5) is the opening day for the autumn archery season for deer. Next to the rifle-hunting season for whitetails, it is probably the season that attracts more hunters to the woods than any other. This season gives bowhunters and crossbow hunters six weeks to try to place their tags on white-tailed deer. From my observations while fishing and while taking evening drives around the Cove, there are plenty of whitetails around for hunters to pursue on privately owned properties. Hunters who have access to these properties should have...

Pennsylvanians who harvest deer, elk, mule deer or moose out-of-state likely can’t bring them home without first removing the carcass parts with the highest risk of transmitting chronic wasting disease (CWD). Pennsylvania long has prohibited the importation of high-risk cervid parts from areas where CWD has been detected. This prohibition reduces the possibility of CWD, which always is fatal to the cervids it infects, spreading to new areas within Pennsylvania. In 2018, the Game Commission strengthened its ban on importing high-risk cervid p...

I have been fly-fishing for more than 50 years. During these years, I have caught a fair number of beautiful trout and have seen a good many unusual things.

I first noticed the teepee one morning when I was nymph-fishing my way upstream. I had just crossed the creek to approach a shallow run when I realized something was different. Only 15...

Late one evening I was slouched on the lazy-boy in my fly-tying room, reading one of the novels I have spent much of my time with since retiring.

As she walked in, several magazines and some pamphlets that had been sitting on top of one of my bookcases crashed to the floor at her feet. "Good lord, Rich," she scowled. "This...
