Benezette, Pa. – Most sportsmen would agree that getting the chance to hunt elk in Pennsylvania would be pretty special. Having the chance to hunt or trap a bobcat would be pretty neat, too. But getting the chance to do both in the same year? That’s something four people will be able to do this …
Raystown Lake (Huntingdon County) – A couple of 5-pound lake trout were boated in 69-degree water Sept. 25 – a sign that cooler weather could improve the bite on striped bass.

Venango Township, Pa. – “Noodling” for mussels with Darran Crabtree on French Creek means never seeing a stream bed the same way again. Though the state’s most ecologically diverse waterway offers some of the best angling in Pennsylvania, its mussel-power is almost hidden.
