Title: Ahhh Solana...
Post by: gregg dudley on January 01, 2013, 08:03:00 AM
Always a warm feeling leaving for a tradgang group hunt.  It is neat to realize that 16 other stick shooters are leaving their homes today ready to converge on the Solana Ranch for a bit of fun.  With that many guys on camp there is always a story to be told.   Boarding the plane in ten minutes.  Wish us luck!

Take good notes, and plenty of pictures!!  We'll be waiting to hear it all.

17 others Gregg.....waiting on my own bird....

This is an unofficial Solana thread.....so don't be expecting stories and pics till we get back ok?

Last year a thread like this got started and folks got bent out of shape cause we weren't posting during the hunt....we don't have the time.
 
The pics n stories will come....after the hunt.

Thanks for the understanding  ....    :campfire:

To all the Solana Hunters but especially my older brother "lilbobby". I hope the campfires are warm with stories and fellowship that only a hunt like this can create. I hope the weather is "hunting weather" and the animals are on the move. I hope opportunities turn into harvest and those that don't turn into great memories. I hope all of you experience things you have never experienced before.I hope you leave with hearts and ice chest full! Brother, you have practiced more than most, you have embraced the true meaning of hunting with the trad bow and more success is straight ahead! Be blessed,

Good luck everyone, I will be with you in spirit and I know Bubba will be watching from above. I hope there is a spot for me next year cause I will be there if I can to take in Solana once again and Bubba will be with me in my heart. It saddens me that his broadhead will not be there but I am very happy that his bow will be. May all of you have the time of your lives.

Just a little tid-bit for you all interested....

So far the red-heads are "ruling the roost" at Solana!

Every critter brought into camp so far has been shot by a red-head!

3 different red-headed archers!!!

Seen pix to prove it   ;)
