Pennsylvania’s Penn Roosevelt State Park is a little gem in middle of nowhere

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky, Pennsylvania /

At one point in the not-all-that distant past, Penn Roosevelt State Park was the scene of bustling summertime activity.
With a portion of Stone Creek dammed as its centerpiece, the lake was a destination of many people seeking relief from the heat of summer in its cool waters. Sadly, the dam was found to be unsafe, the water drained, but the park is still there.

Walk in for native trout in Pennsylvania’s Michaux State Forest

Lake Profile, Lake Profile /

I have a soft spot for native trout fishing. Dabbling small baits, flies and lures in a stream that I can step across, but runs fast and clear, has been a passion of mine since I was young.
These days, thanks in a large part to technology, I can find new streams to explore for opportunities for native brook trout. While I do venture across the state, I keep coming back to Michaux State Forest because of the sheer amount of water to fish.

Weather raining on your turkey hunting parade? Here’s how to adjust

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Pennsylvania /

It is hard to be enthusiastic about a morning in the spring gobbler woods when the rain is pounding off the truck roof so hard that you cannot carry on a conversation with your hunting partner.
We cannot control the weather, and we have only so much time in the spring woods to tag a gobbler, so it is a simple matter of learning how to adapt or go home. Most hunters would probably choose the latter option, but if you are as big a turkey nut as I am, you will be in the woods while others are back home or at camp.

Crow hunting is the supreme winter challenge

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Pennsylvania /

If you are looking to take on a winter hunting challenge unlike any other, then may I suggest you go crow hunting. While these birds might not be as valued as other game species, they are one of the most underrated of all animals to hunt in the winter months.
With eyes that can pick out the smallest out-of-place detail, to a general wary-of-anything attitude, crows offer months of hunting opportunities during a time when many other seasons are closed.

Tips for gathering live bait during Pennsylvania’s winter fishing season

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, Pennsylvania /

We never know what type of weather winter is going to throw at us these days.
Some days it is cold and blustery, but others offer up sunshine and the hope of more favorable outside conditions. When these occur, something within many sportsmen stirs and some find themselves digging out their fishing gear for a trip to the water. However there could be a problem, what about bait?

Experience waterfowl hunting on Pennsylvania State Game Land 214

Hunting, Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Pennsylvania /

Pennsylvania is blessed with many forms of wild game and birds to hunt.
Waterfowl is often at the top of that list at this time of year in a few locales in this state. One of those areas is in the northwest portion of the commonwealth, which is the area where State Game Land 214 is located.

Susquehanna River islands offer novel hunting in Pennsylvania

Hunting, Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Pennsylvania /

Part of the adventure is just getting there. This was a slogan coined on some long-ago TV commercial, but it can apply to those who hunt the islands of the lower Susquehanna River.
Navigating the often shallow water is bad enough in the daylight, but doing so under the cover of darkness to get to a spot prior to shooting light can be nail biting to say the least.

For bear hunting success in Pennsylvania, sometimes its best to find a watering hole

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Pennsylvania /

Successful bear hunting in Pennsylvania continues to be a low-odds-for-success endeavor. Despite more seasons and more hunters pursuing the bruins, the annual success rate usually runs about 2-3%.
Simply put, there is a lot of luck that goes into tagging a Pennsylvania black bear, but there are also many items you can put on a list that will aid you in becoming one of the lucky ones this fall. One of those items is water.
