  • Central Scarlet Dragon Wrestling Ready to Tackle the Season

    RICHARD TATE|Nov 27, 2024

    Although I have tagged a number of bucks during my 60-plus years of hunting, I have failed to take some of the ones that presented good shots. These bucks would have been downed by nearly every other deer hunter I know. The most recent of the bucks that got by me was one that ambled by me on a crossing that my friend Brady had advised me to watch. It was about 10:00 on a sunny opening morning of deer season. I heard crunching in the leaves and saw a buck with a big rack easing toward some laurel behind me. I swiveled around as the buck...

  • Some Autumn Days

    Nov 14, 2024

    Next Monday, Nov. 18, will end my autumn outings along the stream and in the woods. If I do not chicken out, I will be having my right knee replaced. Over the years I have done all I can to avoid this, but now it is necessary. Many people who have had replacements have encouraged me that my surgery will get me back to doing most of my favorite activities. When I decided to have the surgery performed, I opted to hold off until after the beautiful days for autumn trout fishing and until after the fall turkey season. These are two of my favorite...

  • My 2023 Autumn Turkey

    RICHARD TATE|Oct 31, 2024

    Last year’s autumn turkey season began with a thud for me. Bob, my son, and I were to hook up and hunt together on the opening day. However, he did not show up at daybreak, and I couldn’t reach him on the cellphone he and my wife “advise” me to carry. I guessed I didn’t have service. Anyhow, after speaking with another hunter about where each of us would hunt that morning, I progressed out a Jeep trail then entered the woods where I had seen turkeys a couple days before. I hunted all morning but had no luck. I decided to go home for lunch. On...

  • JV Wins Over Southern Huntingdon

    CATI KEITH, Editor|Oct 31, 2024

  • WATCH OUT FOR DEER

    RICHARD TATE, Sports Correspondent|Oct 24, 2024

    We’re now at the cusp of the busiest time for deer in Pennsylvania. It is the beginning of the deer breeding season known as the rut. Female deer will become fertile, and the male deer, the bucks, will be out seeking them. This activity peaks in early November, though it extends well into the month and on into December as not all does (female deer) are ready to breed on the same day. This keeps mature bucks on the prowl, though researchers have found that immature bucks get in on the action, too, as their big brothers cannot keep up with all t...
