2021 Northern SxS Challenge!!

[Dean Romig]

I remember those high long dropping clays from several years ago. Somehow I did pretty well on them. I hope to get back to Rock Mountain again. Mike has some great courses - lotsa fun for sure!!

Mike really does have one the best courses as far as target presentations that you can find. He is not known as "Evil Mike" for no good reason.

Agreed Daryl. I hate to brag on him but his target setting for SxS shooters is excellent. Now he's really gonna have the big head

Indeed; the Italian shooters who come over from Europe for international competitions refer to him as, "Testa Grande."

Heck with the darn targets I'm kinda intrested in what the deer situation is like in his area ? Last time I hunted the Poconos about 15 years ago it was a bit on the bleak side .

Over the border in NY we have the biggest deer herd we've had in 10-15 years. They had a tough, long winter, now so far a dry birthing season and we may have yet another bump in population.

Deer are like vermin. They eat everything. If they don't eat it the bucks snap the saplings off. We planted well over 1000 trees in the last few years and if it is a mast tree we have to tube & stake and/or fence them in until the branches are above the browse line and trunks sturdy enough to hold up to rubbing. We average 13-14 deer off of our property every year. Only allowed 1 buck and it must have minimum 3 points on one side for PGC requirements, I want only 2 1/2 YO and up buck killed) and up until this year we could only take 3 doe with proper permits. Six weeks of archery, two weeks of rifle and three-four weeks of flintlock/archery. We also have almost four weeks of bear season. I usually score on a buck in archery and have two doe down before rifle. I like to save one doe tag for my "rifle of the year" experiment.
