Matt,

I knew you lived up this way somewhere as I remember those directions you gave me to that archery shop in Frackville. I head over to Minersville a couple times a month on work-related activities. I always see plenty of orange hats in trucks during this time of year.

I had a college room mate from Minersville. His last name was Dinger (no lie). He proudly wore his "Sparky's" T-shirt all over campus.

I droppped off my first deer at Vic's. A seven point. Not really big but it was my first deer so I had to mount it. My brother in law is from Minersville and has had Vic do about 20 mounts for him. Nice work.

I used to hunt that area many years ago when I lived in Hazleton. How do you folks thing the new quality management (3 to a side) rule is helping ?

Yeah cablebandit in my opinion he is the best and Im not just saying that cause he is my uncle. He does great work.

Greenbunch, Im not really sure how AR are helping I didnt see anything out of the ordinary. But I am sure in time it will produce.
