Well, we are heading out to camp bastard starting Friday night. We usually go to camp and stay for a good week of bowhunting and eating REAL good. Things look to be getting just right with the rut and I'm excited. We've seen some good bucks and it will only get better.
This year we have a special guest coming. Good friend Michael Langehans (sunnyhill archer). Most of you know Michael from the poundcake wars. He usually leads(and talks smack) for the 1kLLC guys.
Anyhow we have bbeen getting stands ready to give Michael a chance at a wall hanger. And they are here!!! I just hope he gets a crack at a good one. So here are some pics from years past and I'll update when I get back.

Look at the guy in the center of this pic. You dont get a belly like that by eating healthy.

So this will all be fired back up this Friday.
Get your butt here Michael,it's time to hunt!!
See you all in a week.
Looks like a great time.You guy's have fun and be carefull.Jim
Man I love your camp! Porch reminds me of Hog Heaven! Good luck with your hunt!
Looks like a killer camp! Good luck bastards!
I should explain our camp name. Several years ago the guys at work started laughing at us for using the equipment that we use. Ya,really they did. Well,through the years, everytime we brought a big buck in they would say "you lucky bastards". I think the luck part finally wore off but the "bastard" camp did not. I mean we are the odd ones of the prison. So they gave us all individual names. From left to right:
Rob-aka "little bastard"
Me-aka "Captain Bastard"
Mike-aka "sarcastic gas man bastard"
Ben-AKA "FAT bastard" ( I wonder why)
Not pictured -Steve- aka "old bastard"
The two young men will earn their names in due time.
We just might add a "dentist bastard" after this week. :bigsmyl:

Hmmmmmm.......yep, fits.
Good luck boys!
Good luck fellas!!! Take good care of Michael please...
I love picture threads!
See if you can give ole Mikey a few cavaties!Leftover halloween candy would help... and hide his floss!
When I was at Whips, we had Charles call Mike and taunt him as we ate poundcake.
We were all going to sing to him, but we had our mouths too full of pound cake!
I wouldn't ind spending dinner in your camp.
Good Luck Fellars.
I knew their HAD to be a good reason for the name... ;) :D
And we have been seeing some very good bucks this week a few 130 class bucks 1 mid 140 class and a 160 class buck its just getting started. Mike thay are waiting for you.

Since you keep bringing it up....
What exactly was the total y'all paid? Not bid, paid.
Larry's clan and I paid our 7.5k.
What did y'all actually pay? I'm just asking.
And.... You should be jealous.... Very Jealous. I talked to DB last night. He is gonna hook us up!!
Camp Bastard looks like a good time! I must have been a native to the area since I have been called that a time or two!
I know we paid at least $50 for the cake because that's what I sent in!
That's a sweet looking green bow one of the scouts is holding.
Have fun guys!
Can't beat homebrew TCs for quality pics!
Something is stirring at camp bastard (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj10/longbowben/DSCN1679.jpg)
Now that isn't nice.... let's hear a story!
Went out this morning just as it was breaking daylight i heard foot steps.A few days ago i had a big 11pt by the scrape so my senses went into overdrive, trying to make out what was coming all i could see was a big body and rack coming through the bushes.Next thing i knew he was in the scrape and then my bow jumped to life.He crashed through the brush.Everything happened so fast i had to sit down and take in what just happened.
As i sat thier i looked at my new MOAB and said what did you just do :archer2: She said to me i just killed that buck. :D
I'm supposed to be back at work, but can't seem to leave yet! More please.
Wooo Hoooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the good news, Michael you will be hunting my stand all week for that big 11pt i shot the wrong buck.A good buck, but i would love to have you kill that beast so get ready for tommorow.
(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj10/longbowben/DSCN1683.jpg)
Dude... I'm past ready.
Way to go!!!
That is a BIG deer!!!
I'm very happy to have taken this animal,Sometimes i put too much effort on killing the biggest buck in the woods.Maybe next year but its time too be camp BI$&^ Its party time So who will be the next bastard to strike.Stay tuned :bigsmyl:
Your MOAB made a great shot for ya :D
Great looking buck bro!!!!!!!!!!! It don't always have to be the biggest to be a good one. Congrats!!!!!!!
Now, get my dinner ready cause I'm hungry.

Now that folks is what a 160 snuffer hole looks like!
Great looking buck bud, now like Leatherneck said get to the hot stove :thumbsup: and with you at camp all week we are going to have to buy a BIG lock for the beer cooler.lol :campfire:
No good can come of this.
Look at the feet on that critter :bigsmyl:
Nice work boys, what a fine buck.
I dont think they make a lock big enough. :laughing:

You guys just better be in enough shape to drag Michaels biggun! :readit:
Handsome buck!
:clapper:
Great job Ben, nice shootin! :thumbsup:
Nice buck Ben! Congratulations. :thumbsup:
Congrats on a fine buck, nothing wrong with that one. :thumbsup:
Good luck guys; what a great camp.
Congratulations on a nice buck Ben ... now get over there and start working on that lock on the cooler! :)
Sweet buck, Ben!! awesome shot!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice shootin'! Congrats!
Way to christen that new MOAB Ben. Thats a dandy buck. Thought I was gonna initiate my new one tonight, unfortinately I let her down. Flat whiffed on a nice 8 pt at a whopping 14 yds. Congrats on your buck.
Update from Camp Bastard:
Things have been slow for a few days. The bright moon has em running all night. Michael has seen two shooters though. A nice 8 and a big 10. Just not close enough for a shot. But a front is coming in and things should pick up. My gut is telling me we ought to blow wide open in the next 48 hours.
Me and michaels on stand right now and I have a good feeling about tonight. Hope my gut is right. Until later.

The last time I had looked MK was up to $7,650 paid, with a few still owing. With so many shareholders I might have missed a few, but can sure have Doug take a look if there are any outstanding yet. Either way, it's over $15,000 big ones raised over some of the best tasting pound cake ever made! And you and your cohorts are fine upstanding people for your part in it all! :clapper: :clapper:
Whoa! Nice buck Ben! I just scrolled through this one quickly - I'll have to try to keep up on my phone throughout the week. Getting ready to walk out the door myself for a trip.
Good luck to all on the rest of this one!
Great buck, Ben. Those MOABs of yours don't ever seem to let you down. Now the bar has been set for the others.
Great Time from the looks of it.
Nice Buck :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clapper:
Way to go Ben!
It was good to meet You Guys last Saturday there!!! Thanks for the OSAGE toooo. Sincerly ..Jeff!
I like Snuffers. Blood POURS out of the hole!
great buck, congrats
I love these week long hunt reports! Congrats on a great buck and hope we get lots more pics from the rest of you bastards to look at later. Thanks for sharing the hunt!
Thanks everyone, big buck sighting are going up the last two days.And another one did fall at camp but it wasnt trad.Leatherneck just about fell out of the tree today that split g2 11pt came close.
Man what a week. I just got home cause I have to work a double tomorrow. I'll fill everyone in on the week tomorrow.
I did have a standoff with a 160 class buck this am at 18 yards. :bigsmyl:
Still catching up from the time away. And I'm sure Mike is hunting. I would be if I were him.
We should all be jealous of these boys.....
Will post more soon. Gotta go to work.
Nice buck Ben. Congrats!!
Micheal glad you had a great time cant wait to bust some pigs together soon.And the weather is horrible this week wind and heavy rain.And we need a better lock on the cooler,One of the moon lit nights all three of us where shooting at a beer can at 40 yards for about an hour what a blast. :biglaugh:

And if you hunt with these guys, they will give you a bastard name as well. I was Western Bastard.
These guys really do know how to treat a guy right, can cook up some great food, and put you on deer.
While I was hunting in Ohio with these guys, I met a Pro Bull Rider and have hunted with him in Oregon and North Carolina for the last 2 years.
That is a special piece of land you guys have there.
.... Mike get ahold of me ..Thanks..Jeff!
Looks like a great SEASON GUYS !!! GOOD LUCK
I love trad hunting camps. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Awesome!
Congrats on a fine buck!
