Trail cameras are arguably the most helpful scouting tool available. Even though recently an ethics debate has emerged, they are still valuable when learning animal patterns and behavior. Many of us find ourselves adding to our arsenal of cameras each season. More cameras means more pictures, which can definitely lead to a massive time investment as well as a headache in organization. However, there are tools which can make life a bit more efficient.This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we pick back up where we left off in last week's conversation with Cory Gulvas. Cory discusses a little more whitetail hunting strategy which then leads us into what he is truly most passionate about: traditional archery. Mature mountain bucks in the northeast can be an extremely difficult quarry to encounter in the first place. But connecting on one with a stick bow inside 20 yards is a whole new level of difficulty! Regardless of the type of vertical bow

Making Outdoor Wishes Come True

Pennsylvania Woodsman ·

2022/07/01

It can be so easy to be consumed by your passion in the outdoors. Whether you're after a Pope and Young, going on a cross country turkey hunting tour, or logging hundreds of hours casting a line, it can become quite infectious. But at the end of the day, why do we do what we do? For one, our own self ambition can drive us to chase thrill and adventure. However at the end of the day, there is much more to this passion than that.This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we chat with Jarrod

Black Bear Knowledge with the State Biologist

2022/06/03

Black bears are one of the most intriguing animals in North America due to their high level of intellect. Across the nation the most popular way of bear hunting is by baiting or with hounds. There are a number of states that do not allow these forms of bear hunting, resulting in the ultimate chess match between man and beast. In Western states, however; the landscape and topography allow for spot and stalk situations as well as long range shooting. Arguably the most difficult place in the

How to Convert Cropland to Wildlife Habitat

Pennsylvania Woodsman ·

2022/05/06

What seems to be the norm under private land is that more acres mean better hunting. It cannot be ignored that whitetails (and other wildlife) have a home range much larger than the size of the average Northeast parcel. But often, landowners complain about their inability to hold wildlife on their small property for the wrong reasons - efficiency. On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch dives into the controversial topic of Agriculture, CREP, and how they often do not
