Title: First Trad Kill!
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on June 19, 2010, 08:19:00 PM
I wouldn't have had it any other way. I only wish more people were around to share it with.  

Probably the most productive 20 minutes of hunting I ever had.  Saw a pair of wood ducks  too.   :thumbsup:

Also on my to do list this year:
--Deer
--Squirrels
--Carp
--Snapping turtle

Next year Hogs.

Oh man, what a day. Charlie's just being modest; 5 of those are his. He was smart though, he kept all his shots close to shore. Mine were all out in the arrow eating muck. Guess who ran out of arrows?   :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:

Post by: Bowspirit on June 20, 2010, 10:00:00 AM
Eh, I've taken alot from that pond. Least I could give it is a cheap pair of sneakers. Muck grabbed 'em right of my feet, and being waist deep in the stuff, I couldn't really object...
Title: Re: First Trad Kill!
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on June 20, 2010, 10:26:00 AM
Yeah Chris lost his shoes to the pond God.  That big frog, I swear was eating my arrows. I took 3 shots at him before he retread up into the bushes on land.  He was so big it would have given Matt Schuster's hog a run for its money.   :rolleyes:  

In fact I missed because Biggie wasn't here to drag it out.   :biglaugh:  

Yeah Mudd only Six. I didn't want to over do it. I wanted to see if I liked them first.  Next time though they may be in for a hurting. ecertainly wasnt any shortage of them.

well i saw the "muck monster" this morning. an ottor popped up right in front of me and scared the BE-JESUS out of me!!!! also saw some BIG bullfrogs and killed a nice one. hate to say this but i am to darn short to hunt there!!!! was up to my armpitss and getting nervous man!! was thinking what a redneck way to die, frogging in the muck pond. the movie Jerameiah Johnson came to mind with the bald fella burried to his neck in the sand, "got a fine horse under me"!!!!

Good stuff those frogs are not very big targets.
Title: Re: First Trad Kill!
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on June 20, 2010, 08:02:00 PM
I just ate the frogs.

Not only did I like them I had to eat quick before my wife ate all of em.

I will certainly be back for more! Any frog better start getting nervous.   :readit:  

Ken, Izzy, Ron, Chris and anyone else in the area. we need to start the first ever Trad Gang frog hunt and cook out    :saywhat:
Title: Re: First Trad Kill!
Post by: Bowspirit on June 20, 2010, 08:23:00 PM
I think we need to find a few more spots first. All those good shots; those little honey holes are goona be emptied out real quick.   :goldtooth:  

Izzy, I've got an extra pair, but I'm wearing boots from now on...or going barefoot. Either way, I like to see it as giving something back after taking from the pond...
Title: Re: First Trad Kill!
Post by: adkmountainken on June 20, 2010, 08:26:00 PM
i know of 2 big ponds i will check out. Chris i got a good pair of chest waders for ya, to big for me. Charlie sounds like a plan man but we will need mulitple spots, i'll do a little Kermitt recon and see what i can come up with.

Hey Guys this will take all summer to scout for and then next year we can pull it off.   :bigsmyl:  

That way we can have everyone else chime in with the honey holes which will help in our quest to find frogin' utopia.

I'm think 5-15 people show up and we will have to find about half as many ponds. Or a few big ones.

Any way you slice it, it would be a great time.   :archer:
