Bass Pro Shops award and
late-season buck
I
just found out recently that I won the Bass Pro Shops
“Pass It On Award,” which is, according to the press
release, “given annually to an active Pennsylvania
Outdoor Writers Association member for the best
published newspaper or magazine article, television or
radio program, commercial video, or photo or artwork
that most effectively promotes passing on love and
appreciation for the outdoors.” The winning story was
“Take a Kid Wild Trout Fishing,” which appeared in the
annual Fishing Insert in The Herald on April 11th, 2007.
This is a cool award, and I was happy to get it.
Even better, I managed to get my buck again this year,
but not until the last Thursday of the season. My
brother Billy and friends Todd, Mark, Jason, and I
traveled up to camp on Wednesday, December 5th, and
hunted Thursday through Saturday. The buck was a
5-point, legal in Warren County’s 2-F Management Unit,
taken from a mountaintop at 8:30 a.m. in the deep snow
on SGL 86. It was my fifth buck in the past six years,
which is pretty lucky, considering how the Game
Commission has reduced the deer herd.
Good luck out there. And have a great week outdoors.
