Tomorrow is the last day of squirrel and rabbit here in PA. If I don't see any game I'll be shooting stumps with my Brackenbury recurve.

I'll be in the woods until it's time to go see my new baby granddaughter!

I think tomorrow is the annual SCBA, or whatever the new acronym is, traditional archery rabbit hunt.  If it is, I'll be going to it to try to shoot some bunnies.  There's been a total of 4 killed in the past 15 or so hunts and 2 of them were killed last year.  The temperatures should be in the mid-60s to low 70s here tomorrow.  I'll be shooting my 21st Century Saturn and the new GrizzlyStik Sitka arrows I picked up yesterday.  They fly like darts out of my Saturn.

I'm going to the PO tomorrow morning and picking up my new (to me) '59 Kodiak, fine tune her with some well matched arrows and go kill some stumps. Man, I can use some R&R right about now. Just hope I don't get called in to work. If Reid doesn't get his vote on the stimulis package today, he's going to force a vote on Sunday and I may have to go in.

Yep, like BTH said, fletchin' and feedin'. I'm looking forward to it and the opportunity for the ladies to bond (makes it easier to gain permission for last minute hunts later!!) Oh, and they're GREAT folks too!

He said "Venison and pork country sausage lasagna", and like Pavlov's dogs I'm swallowing copious amounts of drool.    :p

Welcome home, Jack! I will be delivering mail on the other side of 7, and hassling your carrier to make sure she delivers that new Morrison. JK!   :D  
(Her case is right behind mine, so we sling it back and forth.   :)   )

Killdeer~been there, and working (even on a weekend) beats not working. Good luck, Marc, and hang tough. Change sucks, but it makes us stronger.

Went to the United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival in Jeff City with some good friends today.  My friend Travis bought a new MOAB from that fine fellow Jim Reynolds.  I encouraged poor Travis to spend his hard earned coin, and crowed with glee when he finally wrote the check.  I won't steal Travis' thunder... He'll be around before too long to post pics I'm sure.  Jim got a good laugh when I ribbed Travis that I finally had a nice MOAB to shoot at no expense to me...     :jumper:  

I picked up some little items that I always seem to forget when I make a mail order.  As usual, the friendliness and service from Mike and Brenda at The Nocking Point was first rate!  As a little added bonus, met "Irish" and his friend there too.

Got home and put my new Bateman tab through it's paces with my Acadian.  Shot exceedingly well for me.

All in all, an excellent start to the weekend!

Well, we just got back from our big donkey hunt. We ducked down into the speargrass just in time to avoid being seen by four donkeys who were coming toward us. They passed 30 metres away, and I could've shot, but wanted my mate, Dave, to have a go. He shot underneath, and they spooked away. Later, we found a lone donkey, and plotted a good course to intercept him, and he would've come right past, but when he was 40 metres away, I felt the wind hit the back of my neck, and the donkey hit the wall and circled way-out wide, snorting and carrying-on. It was a good morning, with two close encounters.

Well, NorthernCaliforniaHunter showed up tonight with his wife and daughter for fletching, flinging, and feeding. I fletched, they all flung, and then we fed. Much fun was had by all.
