Atv riding snow shoe pa.

a few of the crew from pennridge ATV club got together for a weekend and rode snow shoe rails to trails and  bloody skillet (sproul forest) last weekend. we found a house to rent just off the trail so we didn't have to trailer quad to trail, that was great. starting off Friday with a 35 mile night ride till 11pm in ssrt. Saturday we hooked up with more riders and did a 70 mile ride to bloody skillet. that was a long day for the sport quad crossing the creeks, especially if you fall in! mother nature gave us 4" fresh snow on Saturday to play inn, Sunday was not as nice. woke up to a breezy 0 degrees, that turned us back in. hope to get out again, maybe whiskey springs soon.

somerset ny fly show

me and jimmy went to fly show in somerset ny and it was packed. lots of vendors,reps and top shelf tyers. my favorite tyers there are john collins,pat cohen,eric stroup and of course george maciag. talked to a few lodges in the west branch area, "curly" from dream catcher got my attention on its nice cabins on the waterfront and grindstone outfitters from canada. justin from allen reels was there with new hardware, finally got to meet him . i have a few allen reels, good quality for the money. tracey stroup sold me on fishing center pa streams, i hope to hook up with there outfit for a few days. here are a few pics of the day.

european mount archery season 2011

My European mount from archery season was completed by K&K taxidermy in Perkasie, Kevin did a great job. This is my best buck to date with bow and I couldn’t be happier. This bucks rack is not perfect but is real wide with little kicker on bottom making him a 8pt. this guy was taken on a Mathews Q2 bow, gold tip 5575 carbons and muzzy MX4 broadheads. I’m getting ready for next year already. I just sold my bow on eBay to get up to date on the latest hardware. I purchased a Hoyt Vector 32” from Dan neebe”s in furlong, hoping to pick it up this weekend. Ill give a post once I get it home.
