What are the hunt dates?

i love the format of being a hunting group without all the BS of tournaments....i'm in

We have not decided on a hunt date yet. You can not apply until August 1st. The hunt will be sometime in October. What dates would everyone want to shoot for? The first part of October or towards the end.

Thanks Chad. The MTB will definitely do it's best to continue to support the STA and orgs like them because  of all the fine work they have done for many many years. Since the MTB will NOT be shooting/target organization , we will not have shoots, not own targets, have no officers , no yearly dues or etc.   We will only meet once a year TBA and HUNT.  Who knows you may pitch your tent right next to Monty B!!!....MTB will strictly be a fraternal Traditional Bowhunting Org not trying to save the world but a loose group of like minded bowhunters trying to share a campfire once a year.

And Kudos to our MTB webmasters  Brucker Kraft up top with his bear

sounds like a young PBS ....

I'm in

Not even close Dave, PBS structured entirely different with by laws , two tier membership, office overhead and equipment requirements and other stuff

MTB has no by laws or anything structured or judgmental to qualify. We will be just band of Bowhunters that hunt with traditional equipment and enjoy sharing fellowship once a year over a real hunting campfire and have a website forum.

It would be dream to have some fellow PBSers from neighboring states join us.  Never met a fellow brother that didn't know his way around woods.

What is PBS?

me too

I'm in

Agreed but I believe the PBS was initially formed alot like this and as they grew so did the structure.    Glad to see  ya doin this Joe

I got my membership!

Sweet deal. I'm in

Having trouble logging into that site this morning. Anyone else having issues?

I have questions regarding the annual hunt plan. How will the selection of a hunting location for each year be determined and will the locations be varied throughout the State?  I don't know if I will be able to make some of the hunts due to age and some medical issues. However, I think all of you should get together and take advantage of any hunting opportunity that becomes available. I am assuming that the annual hunt will be located on public land somewhere in the state.  I live in the Mississippi Delta and hog hunting is pretty sparse with the exception of private land and some very limited federal NWRs. Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge has a hunt able hog population but has other drawbacks that go with it. Hunting Dahomey is difficult due to the thickness of the  brush in places and you will be butt deep in rattlers and cottonmouths. It is the only place I have hunted for years since it is about 8 miles from my house.

Hello Ron , to answer your question on location. yes it will bounce around i hope! Pretty much will be the direction of the volunteer Campo-ree/Hunt committee. Matt stead is heading that up. However the number 1 criteria for location is having abundant GAME availability. I have also a short term plan to work with river clubs to hunt their hogs in the summer for their costly eradication. We put the right foot forward in front of Ms DNR then there may be some opportunities for us down the road if we represent ourselves with integrity which i am sure we will since being TRADITIONAL with traditional values!!


PATCHES Arrived!   will go out tomorrow in the mail


 

Turdyptbuck, the PBS = Professional Bowhunter Society

I expect a lot of PBSers will attend the hunts, including me if the dates work out with all the other hunts I have planned.  This is a good idea, pretty unique actually.  I hope it works.

Joey,

I plan on joining up soon as I get a few priority settled, sounds like a great opportunity for some good fellowship!

Just saw this. I will join. !!!!

This organization is definitely needed. It will give trad bowhunters throughout the state, both resident and non-resident alike, the opportunity to hunt throughout the State of Mississippi. Having a good relationship with MDWFP will enhance the organizations ability to schedule and develop more hunting opportunities. This is a good thing for trad bowhunters in Mississippi and those wishing to find hunts from other states. I will be joining as soon as I can.

Thanks Ron for your kind words!!!  Mississippi is fortunate to have several great organizations that already support the state Traditional archery community and great causes it gives money too....god bless them and continue support.

MTB will solely focus on the traditional fraternal-ism of the traditional bowhunters in Mississippi, the south and now the nation!!!

The sign up has been overwelming. We now have members scattered across the nation.....2016 we are going to need a bigger WMA  haha!!  Maybe $10 is too cheap for a life membership!!   ...

This is really going to be fun for me to meet fellow trad bowhunters in a hunting environment annually at our shin digs!!
