Five rules for staying safe during cold-water wading
If you’re considering taking part in some of the best stream fishing of the year, then you’re going to want to pay attention to all of the safety details that come with it.

Steve Piatt: An unexpected big buck for a hunter who doesn’t harvest big bucks
My deer-hunting history is one of forkhorns, 3-pointers and, after Pennsylvania implemented antler restrictions, a few basket-racked sixes and sevens, as well as antlerless whitetails and seasons with unfilled tags. Even my first big-woods Adirondack buck wasn’t big at all, a 5-point that didn’t top 100 pounds at a weigh-in at a local tavern.
I simply don’t harvest big bucks, and while I jokingly state that I only visit the taxidermist about once every 30 years, I did a little research and the math showed it’s actually 31 – for my first buck, a fine, symmetrical eight-point, and my biggest, a 136-inch 10-pointer.
