My grandfather used to live in PA..he was a magor influence on me hunting. He lived in Lancaster County in Coatsville. I use to hunt ground hogs and pheasants up there. He was 30 miles from our house. I lived in Elkton ,MD. on the eastern shore.

I found alot of my fishing spots from a big magazine called Fishing in Maryland. It had maps and places on the maps where the fish were. This was back in 1970. I started fishing in 1960. I was 6 years old and got a Heddon Pal metal tackle box and Heddon Pal baitcaster reel for my birthday. The out fit propably cost 5.00 new. I wish I still had it.It goes for much more on ebay.LOL Of course I couldn't cast the darn thing..I ended up tying the nylon string to a long stick and catching gills along a local creek.
