Erie Times-News | GoErie.com | Sunday, October 8, 2017 C9 OUTDOORS I f you honestly want your youngster or anyone new to hunt- ing to enjoy this grand old sport, take that person squirrel hunting. Squir- rel hunting gives the hunter a much better chance of success than any other kind of hunt- ing in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania squirrel hunters get four seasons. Following the special junior hunter season which started Sept. 30 and continues to Oct. 14, the regular squirrel season gets underway Oct. 14 until Nov. 25. The next phase of the squirrel hunting season is Dec. 11 to 23. Then the final phase runs from Dec. 26 to Feb. 28. That is almost 20 weeks of squirrel hunt- ing, or 38 percent of the entire year. The daily bag limit for squirrels is six, and the possession limit 18 squirrels. This is for red squirrels, gray squirrels, black squirrels and fox squirrels combined. We should cross off red squirrels unless you want a full squirrel grand slam. There is not much meat on the small red squirrel. And we could knock it down to just two squirrel species since gray squir- rels and black squirrels are the same species. A litter of squirrels can include both gray and black color phases. But a Pennsylvania squir- rel slam must include both black and gray color phases and the fox squir- rel. And don’t forget to include the red squirrel. I hunted squirrels at least 30 years before getting a squirrel slam in just one day. But we have more squirrels now, and fox squirrels have expanded their range. The fox squirrel is the largest Pennsylvania squirrel. According to “A Field Guide to the Mammals” by William H. Burt and Richard P. Grossenheider, the weight range for gray squirrel is three-fourths of a pound to 1 3⁄5 pounds. For fox squirrel it is 1 1⁄5 pounds to 3 pounds. According to my hunting and fishing mentor, Ray Bimber, before we lost the Ameri- can chestnut, squirrels were as big as cats and might weigh 5 pounds. Maybe he stretched it a bit, but I am certain not by much. It has been said that the American chestnut was the greatest tree that ever existed. Probably you will never notice this since we do not often see fully grown squirrels of any kind. Before they grow to their greatest potential weight they almost always are harvested by hunters, hit by motor vehicles, killed by Cooper’s hawks, killed by goshawks, killed by owls or killed by fishers. This year I have seen more squirrels than I have for several years. Look for fox squir- rels near water, or in patchy farm country. Fox squirrels seem to be particularly fond of hickory nuts. One of the nice things about hunt- ing fox squirrels is that they are not quite as wary as gray squirrels. Spook a gray squirrel and you probably will not see it for at least 30 minutes. Spook a fox squirrel and it might come back out in 15 minutes. Gray squirrels and black squirrels are crit- ters of big woods. Look at the various colors of tree bark. This is a pretty good clue as to whether you are more likely to see a black squirrel or a gray squirrel. Black squirrels thrive where there are numerous trees with very dark bark. Gray squirrels do better where there are trees with lighter bark, like beech trees. I wonder if beech bark disease will change the ratio of black squir- rels to gray squirrels. Some squirrel hunt- ers do well by walking through the woods. Other hunters prefer to pick a good place and sit. Each method has its merits. I sug- gest sitting mornings and late afternoons, or any other time when squirrels are active, and walking during midday. This is a good time to catch a squirrel sitting on a limb barking. Before you get to hunting, go to the shooting range and sight in your rimfire rifle, or check where your shotgun is hit- ting by covering the backboard with large white sheets of paper, such as shelving paper, then drawing a big dot in the middle. It is not uncommon for shotguns to hit far off the mark at 35 yards. Mike Bleech can be reached by email at [email protected]. Some of Pennsylvania’s best hunting is about to begin Mike Bleech Mike Bleech By Randy Ferguson Contributing writer Ten years ago, a high school trap shooting team in Corry was not a thing. Today, it’s not only a “thing,” but the team is a seven-time Warren County High School Trap League champion, state champion and national champion with nearly 80 student-athletes ranging in age from 13 to 18 years. Trap shooting is one of the three types of compet- itive clay pigeon shooting. Other types include skeet shooting and sporting clays. In trap shooting, the clay targets are launched from a single “house,” or launcher, at angles to the left, right and straight away from the shooter. Shooters compete in rounds of 25 shots, typically using 12-gauge shotguns. There are four rounds in each compe- tition for a total of 100 possible points (one point for each broken clay target). Shooters stand at one of five stations, each completing a total of five shots before moving to the next station. The thought of a com- petitive high school trap team was just that nine short years ago. That’s when the late Bob Lindsey, longtime history teacher at Corry High School, conceived of the idea, secured the support of the Corry Rod & Gun Club in Columbus as the host club, formed the Warren County High School Trap League and began building a trap shooting dynasty. In 2009, Lindsey recruited Susan Ander- son to become the Corry team’s coach. Anderson came from many years of competitive shooting. When she married, hus- band Steve joined her in shooting, and the couple started their daughter, Kelsie Ellsworth, shoot- ing at age 7. Now 23 years old, Kelsie was an All- American during her high school shooting career, and accepted an invitation to the Olympic training camp in Colorado. “I believe Bob asked me because of my love for the shooting sports and that I was a female coach so that I could relate to the girls,” Anderson said of becom- ing the team’s coach. “I’m the Pennsylvania state adviser for the Scholastic Clay Target Program and the AIM/ATA program (the official youth program of the Amateur Trap- shooting Association). I go throughout Pennsyl- vania and start new youth shooting teams.” As the head coach at Corry since 2009, she’s led the team to seven straight league championships to date. Lindsey died in 2012. But not before seeing his vision begin to bear fruit. The team won its first league championship in 2011. What he didn’t get to see were the subse- quent championships that have been won in the years since at the league, state and national levels. Coaches in addition to Anderson are assistant coach Jim Morton, Greg Linden, Mike Lindsey, Cap Lindsey, Derrick Mitch- ell, Colby Case and Dale Johnson. And not one of them, including Anderson, receives a paycheck. The club owns a few shotguns. Many have been purchased through grants from the Friends of NRA foundation. After their first year, some of the kids purchased their own shotgun. Shotguns popular in the sport, such as a Browning BT-99, run around $1,200. An active booster club helps with costs, which is key, considering the team goes through 3,300 boxes of shotgun shells (that’s 66,000 shells). The cost of this ammo is about $16,500. The team spends an additional $7,100 on clay targets each year. And all these costs are just for the school league and practices, according to Anderson. They don’t include all their practices before state and national competitions. Going to states and nationals carry additional costs like hotel rooms, meals, ammo and regis- tration fees. According to Anderson, it costs about $2,000 per shooter for nationals and about $700 per shooter for states. The school district helps the team by providing busing to district matches, and team members can letter, but the district pro- vides no other support. Teammembersandpar- ents attribute the team’s success to quality coach- ing and time commitment on everyone’s parts.

“These kids and thesecoaches are dedicated,”said parent Tim Pondel.“They practice, prac-tice,practice.They shootmore than any otherteam. And that’s whythey accomplish whatthey do.”
“ I t ’ s a l i f e t i m es p o r t , ” A n d e r s o nsaid. “I think that’swhat’s so exciting forus (coaches). They’renot only shooting now,but they might go offto college or whereverlife takes them. Butthey’ll return. They’llbring their kids into(the sport) when theyget older. It’s a sportthat will last them alifetime.”
When asked what
makes this sport sounique as a competitor,senior Logan Muir said,“Youactually gettomeeta lot of people and get toknow them. It’s not likefootball or other sportswhere all you do is tackleeach other.”
“It’s something differ-ent,” senior Mike Dietzadded. “We all have achancetoshoot.Tocom-pete. No one’s riding thebench.”
While coach Ander-son admits she’s sad tosee last year’s seniorsmoving on, she’s con-fident and excited bythe prospects of thosemoving up through theranks.
“Each week, someonenew is stepping up andshowing their skill. Thisprogram is strong, andit’s going to continue togrow and succeed,” shesaid.
