Pennsylvania Woodsman ·

2021/11/12

There are over 200,000 bear licenses sold in Pennsylvania annually, and 3,500-4,000 bears are killed every fall.

Finding food is key, and to do that you may need to put some miles on via vehicle and boots to find it.This week we chat

The truth is, whitetail does are bred relatively the same time each and every year, regardless of moon phase, weather pattern, or how much hunting pressure is in your area. So, when you hear someone say the rut timing was off, what that person is really referring to is observing a chasing, or

Fall Food Plots - Are You A Step Above The Rest?

Pennsylvania Woodsman ·

2021/07/30

Food plots truly have been revolutionary in the world of whitetail hunting. Information on how, what, where, and when to plant has flooded the internet and magazines to the point where it can be extremely difficult navigating through good vs. bad information. It is a common misconception that there is a “one size fits all” food plot program. Food plot species, timing of planting, planting methods, herd dynamics and most importantly, SOILS are very different from one farm to the next. Learning

This week we kick off a new series breaking down stories from Pennsylvania hunters who found success harvesting mature buck this past season.

Pennsylvania is home to more than 83,000 miles of streams, many of which hold respectable native trout populations.
