All these kids were battling and trying. Some are peaked and will never get better. Some are on a trajectory. Some will grow and bodies will change. I am going to sit back and enjoy watching wrestling.
So did Diehl, and that's irrelevant.
Also irrelevant: that Sammie Henson coached D1 in a different state than where his son wrestled.
For the athletes and their families, sure. But that's not the point.You don’t think it’s a little different to drive an hour from your current house as opposed to moving from NC or TN to PA?
Hey Idahopennstate fan, I'll be heading your way to do some whitetail hunting on Nov 10th. My cousin lives near the Potlatch/Princeton area. We are flying into Spokane and we usually stop at the Cabelas in Post Falls, which if I remember is your home area. Unfortunately I'll miss the Army match but I am looking forward to another great year of wrestling at Rec Hall.All these kids were battling and trying. Some are peaked and will never get better.

EUROPE GUESS THEY DONT WANT TO SEE THE KIDS GROW UP??SCREW THATThat's just a fact of life outside of athletics. My brother married into a family that sends all of its kids to boarding school in Europe.
OK, that's somewhat of an extreme example, but parents don't send their kids to Seminary or Blair or Malvern for them to end up at Edinboro or Bloomsburg.
If PIAA schools go National Preps for athletics, that doesn't separate those kids from their classmates during school hours. The segregation is the parents choosing which set of classmates the kids will have.
The funny thing about this is that so many people still believe in the meritocracy myth.That's just a fact of life outside of athletics. My brother married into a family that sends all of its kids to boarding school in Europe.

And yet my brother made it into those circles, despite growing up decidedly not rich in uncultured rural central PA, attending public high school, and graduating sub-3.0 from a public university.The funny thing about this is that so many people still believe in the meritocracy myth.
What? The meritocracy bunny is dead?The funny thing about this is that so many people still believe in the meritocracy myth.

Greater Caelestan and its borderlands are showing up today.

No there is definitely whitetail in Idaho.Whitetails aren't in Idaho. (Or maybe you're talking about something else besides deer.)
No there is definitely whitetail in Idaho.
Oh no doubt, as an East coast guy living out west, my first few years were consumed with Elk and Muley's. I got around to doing some whitetail hunts out there and was thoroughly impressed. Northern Idaho has some monster whitetails. PA hunters are born and bread to hunt whitetails in Eastern Colorado. Most guys out there dont shoot at running deer. I was like shit, you'd never get a shot in PA in gun season if you didnt shoot at a running deer. They got a kick out of my Amish machine gun (Remington 760 Pump).I didn't know they got that far west. (I'm trying not to be judgy, but if I were going to Idaho from the east coast, I'd be going for some elk, not whitetail.)
Why not just save gas and go to St. Mary's. The elk will even lick your hand before you shoot them.I didn't know they got that far west. (I'm trying not to be judgy, but if I were going to Idaho from the east coast, I'd be going for some elk, not whitetail.)
Or just about any truck stop in iowaWhy not just save gas and go to St. Mary's. The elk will even lick your hand before you shoot them.
That ain’t your hand…Or just about any truck stop in iowa
Dagnabit, I can't find the Greater Caelestan map. I know @El-Jefe has posted it before. It includes the 3 low counties, the Gardens and Crabby patties.
Open Google Earth. Don't zoom in at all.Dagnabit, I can't find the Greater Caelestan map. I know @El-Jefe has posted it before. It includes the 3 low counties, the Gardens and Crabby patties.
The elk around Benezette are certainly like that. In most areas they don't tolerate human activity any more than the deer do.Why not just save gas and go to St. Mary's. The elk will even lick your hand before you shoot them.
My cousin's son, Levi bagged a 250 class, 28 pt whitetail buck in 2010. It was the 3rd highest scoring non-typical ever taken in the state back in 2010. I was very fortunate to get a 160 class, 14 pt the next year. Rhino80 is correct that the panhandle section of Idaho has great whitetail hunting. What I've enjoyed, on top of the scenery is the many different big game animals that I have seen, which are Elk, Whitetail, Mule deer and Moose. One of our PA guys got a cougar at the same spot where I got my 14 pt. You can use your deer tag for a cougar or black bear.Oh no doubt, as an East coast guy living out west, my first few years were consumed with Elk and Muley's.

My cousin told me something about the geography of the panhandle of Idaho that I didn't know. He lives in Latah county and it is probably 40 miles north of the Oregon/Washington line. It is also farther north in latitude than the northern tip of Maine. I would have never guessed that.I couldn't stop reading this article until the end. What a great story. Very well written too!

That’s why it’s so hard to surprise an Italian deer.I’ve never hunted a day in my life.
I guess Italians are more comfortable sitting with their backs to the corner of the room when the shooting starts.
