Commentary: Age of 12 has nothing to do with maturity to hunt

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

After reading Tom Venesky’s recent column and a few Letters to the Editor advocating for no tags for children under the age of 7, I want to point out another side of the story.
I was flabbergasted when I moved to Pennsylvania almost 40 years ago now and found out you couldn’t hunt on Sundays, deer season started on a Monday forcing people to take off work in order to hunt and youth hunters had to wait until the age of 12 to get a hunting license.

News, Pennsylvania /

“Big Jim” Pennington Sr., of Johnsonburg, Pa., was a mainstay of the Rolfe Beagle Club in northern Elk County for almost 60 years of the club’s 78 years of existence. 
He was always the marshal at the club’s AKC Licensed Beagle Trials for decades. Dog handlers learned early on to listen when “Big Jim” gave instructions.

Volunteers with Ruffed Grouse Society help complete spring planting for wildlife in Pennsylvania

Featured, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

The rain held off and the weather was cool and cloudy – perfect for finishing up a massive planting project on Collins Pine Company lands with Seneca Resources on the border of Elk and McKean counties.
Seven volunteers with the Ruffed Grouse Society showed up on Sunday, May 5, despite the threat of rain, to plant shrubs for wildlife on a former water impoundment at a Marcellus gas well site. Unique to this particular planting day is that Bryan Parana, known as the “chestnut man,” brought 15 back-cross American chestnut seedlings to plant at the site.
