Jamie,  wish you could be there.

BRUTAL up here as well. walked the dogs at 6am and had to keep moving or would have been bite the whole time. last week the mountain was not bad though.

I almost thought I could. At this point, I am not even sure if I will be hunting this year due to some personal issues...
I wish you all the best of luck.

Jamie,
   if ya wanted to just stop of for dinner and visit that would be fine too.

ok does anyone have a good grill they could bring??? mine is shot, moms is to small and i really don't want to buy a new one!

The weekend's CLEAR!!!!!  

Now, If I can get the rest to fall into place....  

Now I'm stoked! If you want to drive to Coxsackie, I'll drive us the rest of the way.

Hey Ken,
I just got a new grill and I would be glad to strap it into the pickup and bring it along with me.  Can't think of a better way to break it in than cookin' up in the hills!

Chuck,

welcome back online my friend  

Excellent......a grill.......I'll bring some meat for the grill masters!

Thank You, Charlie!!!!!

I'll send ya a PM soon.....

CHUCK!!!!  Glad to see u  back buddy!

Charlie, from what I hear, you should be in charge of the cooking.  Plus the look of those poppers u made in colorado...lets just say my monitor has a few teeth marks in it that werent there before    

Nathan

Nate, I can toss together a few items and get lucky once in a while. But I always hate the idea of cooking while i am supposed to be hunting. Typically hunting camp is pre-made dishes that warm easily and quickly.

Tonight, remember that old Gobbler I killed on the hill?  I took his last breast cut it in half and pounded it flat, made a sausage/cranberry stuffing, spread over the top and rolled into a roast. I was afraid he meat would dry too much so I covered in bacon. Roast over low heat for 1.5 hours and then basted, covered with aluminum foil and back in for another 30 minutes.

The wife liked it so it must be edible.  

Nate, how far can you stretch 2 handfuls of dried Morels? enough to accentuate a dish to feed 15 people?

Oh,

and apologies about your Monitor.  

you guys are killing me now i'm hungary AGAIN, just got back from Tankee Stadium and filled my gut there! its getting close for sure, i think i need to start a roll call thread as its getting hard to see who is aucutally coming.

Look for these when you hunt. I found a bunch (hatful) last week, and they are prime.

Thanks for the reminder Kathy!  Fresh black trumpets (or anything else for that matter) would go great with dinner.  I spend way too much time looking down for mushrooms when I'm in the woods.  God help me if I find one or some........I might as well give up on focusing on game for the day!

Charlie - I may have something a bit better than dried morels.  I now freeze my mushroom stash.  As long as you are going to have them as an add-in to a dish, they work great....just dump them in frozen.  I vacuum seal, then freeze morels and maitakes (hen of the woods) every year.  If someone wants to try using some, let me know.....I'll bring a few packages.

Tony,
   DEFINITLY bring the mushrooms, between Nate and Charlie i'm sure they will be put to good use! Charlie whats the chance of making some of those poppers???

does anyone have a set of handheld radios? i never use them but might need to this time. a couple sets would be nice.

I have a set.......I'll give them a good charge.
