On March 22 the Susquehanna Branch of the Quality Deer Management Association will hold an antler scoring (measuring) and deer jawbone aging event. Antler scoring will be done by local QDMA Directors - Dave Taylor, John Butler, Dave Wilcox, Ron Hollenbeck and new QDMA member, Rick Larnerd. Antlers (including full mounts) and jawbones from past years will be measured and aged. The jawbone aging is done using the tooth wear evaluation method. If the jawbones are not clean, the branch asks that the participant freeze the jawbone prior to bringing it in for aging. Additional events that will take place are mini educational sessions on wildlife habitat management, food plot planting – what to plant and when, and deer management. One final item is the awarding of custom designed shirts for the three contest winners of the 225 lb. deer event that the Susquehanna Branch held for the past deer hunting seasons. Those three winners are Ken Singer - Montrose, David Sienko - Hallstead and Cody Scepaniak - Susquehanna. This event, open to everyone, will be held at Andre & Sons Farm Store, just east of Montrose on Rt. 167, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
