Balancing Work, Family and Hunting

I really love hunting with my dad. I've hunted with him ever since I could walk in the woods. Since I've had children myself, finding time to hunt with my dad has become more difficult. But most of the time we usually get to hunt together at least once a week, which is great.

Wood Ducks: the Awesomeness of Waterfowl Hunting

The wood duck drake has – in my opinion – some of the most startlingly beautiful plumage of all 41 North American waterfowl species. Woodies are moderately-sized dabbling ducks; at approximately 20 inches long with a wingspan of around 28 inches, a mature wood duck is still 25-percent smaller than their mallard counterpart.

Reconsider Hunting Public Lands

Private-land hunters are taking a tremendous amount of pressure off public lands, and this factor may be the reason we’re starting to see some really-nice bucks coming off New York’s public lands. I just learned recently that there’s much more public land in the State of New York than I ever realized. That’s the reason our family is starting to look into how much public land is available to be hunted.

Duck Hunting Basics

Late the previous afternoon, I had followed a flight of mallards and pintails as they left their staging water and headed out for an evening feed. Ducks have a sixth sense for finding the best feed in the country, so I wasn’t surprised that these hungry "quackers" had set their sights on a recently harvested pea field—and that’s exactly where I set up the next day. Just think like a hungry duck, and you’ll find

Public and Private Land Hunting in Pennsylvania

In the past, finding a place to hunt where you didn’t see a large group of other hunters was an issue in Pennsylvania. But if the hunters will spend more time and do more research, they can pinpoint places now where there’s less hunting pressure and more deer, and the odds of taking an older-age-class buck are much better.

Pennsylvania Deer Hunting Restrictions Has Its Pros and Cons

The biggest buck I've ever taken in Pennsylvania scored about 130 inches. Back when I took that buck, he was considered a trophy buck. Today however, because of Pennsylvania’s antler restrictions and liberal un-antlered season, we’re seeing much bigger bucks in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Deer Hunting Seasons

Before Pennsylvania’s legalization of crossbow hunting during deer bow season, I could hunt public state game lands and only see one to three bowhunters during the entire bow season for deer. But since crossbows were legalized for hunting deer, I see many more hunters during bow season than I’ve ever seen before. However, even with the legalization of crossbows, I still see fewer deer hunters during archery season than I do during gun/deer season.

Finding a Place to Hunt in Pennsylvania

Private land hunting in Pennsylvania always has been difficult. Generally, if your family doesn’t own private hunting or farm land you can hunt, if you don’t know somebody who has private land to hunt who will let you hunt there, or if you haven’t gone out well before the season and convinced a landowner that you’re an ethical hunter and you'd do all you can to help him take care of his property, then getting

Deer Hunting in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania always ranks within the top five states in the United States for number of deer hunters. I have hunted Pennsylvania for 40 years, where you'll usually see more hunters than deer. Pennsylvania’s deer herd statewide has been in a process of change for the last several years.
