not sure for me , I might be in cuba NY helping a friend tap trees . i will let ya'll know and if I can't make it maybe my brother would host ya'll .

OK we have a few, but I would hate to go if the host wasn't there. Even if we get 1/2 a day it's our last chance, anyone else??

I had my dates wrong ; the Double T Cabin Fever Shoot in Amherst is this weekend {Feb 22/23} so that's where I'll be but I hope you guys clobber them.

If we can't go to Drews my father-in-law is checking on a spot near Arcade that we might be able to hunt, but it's not as big as Drews place maybe a 1/2 day of hunting.

My father-in-law got the OK to hunt the spot near Arcade, like I said it's not big enough for a all day gathering. So I will leave it up to you guys if you feel like giving it a go. If no one is interested I will probably go to Ithaca and hunt grouse with my good friend and his English setter. I personally need to know if it's a go by Thurs night .

I'm out for this weekend , I cant make it.

OK thanks Alex, well I guess that settles it both Jim and Alex can't go and they have the dogs. Thank you guys so much for the couple times we were able to get together this year, I had tons of fun as usual. We will have to try for maybe one outing earlier next year, then a few after the holidays as well. Thanks to all who came. Now my thoughts turn to CARP-A-THON!!!

Yes Gerald soon the carp will be spawning and we will be there to greet them  

Can't wait Jim.

Looks as though the sun has set on yet another season! Im grateful to have shared some time with you all again this year... May we all make it to next year to hear the heartfelt bay of the little hounds.

   

I hear ya Jim, would like to see you at the carp a thon.

The feeling is mutual Jim. I really enjoy getting together with fellow trad bow hunters. The hunts we shared last year as well as this year have been a breath of fresh air for me. And the company has been second to none.Thanks to everyone for making this a great late season. Seems everyone is more than willing to contribute to the benefit of their fellow traddy, which makes you guys a special bunch. May we continue to share great hunts and great friendships in the years to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you.      Knawbone

Thanks to all of you guys for having me in your group. Drew

I hope to make it Gerald. Well said David...

Our " group" as Drew said is very nice. Last year on our maiden hunt I (we) got to meet some new friends, this year our circle got bigger, with Drew, Marv, Larry, Bob, and Brian. And I know there were at least a couple more in the area that were interested, so hopefully by next years gatherings we can get them to come as well.Again thank you guys for the dogs, the farm, and the fun. Blessings Gerald

Man, if you fellas have the time this weekend do your own dogging. I know the beagles are awesome but if you just wanna get together to hunt, well,,, you all know that fun can be had just the same.

Glad you guys put together a good hunt out there and if fortune smiles upon me I'll hunt with you fellas next year.

It was a pleasure getting to hunt with you guys this year, always fun to meet fellow trad archers.....did I hear someone say carp-a-thon???


Now just where and when does this take place ??

 

Larry we did it last year on Hemlock lake (Livingston county). Four of us went last year Jim's and Gerald on Jim's boat and my neighbor Doug and I on my boat . The carp on that lake average about 2 feet not real big but there is a ton of them. The scenery is  awesome , no cottages or buildings on the lake and the accessibility is easy . I hope this year we have more of a turn out and more boats, but there is a size limitation on the lake which are 16' boat and 10 horse motor. I hope you can make it with us this year . Did you ever get ahold of Ritchie leather?

Sorry about bailing out on you guys this weekend I've been sick all week and I haven't been getting much sleep thought it was best if I didn't go out. Lets try and get an earlier start next year maybe right after Christmas. I'll post something about bowfishing in a month or two hope all of you rabbit hunters can change gears and go carping.

I did check them out online, although I haven't purchased any yet, still trying to make up my mind
