Good luck guys.  I just have to say, (not to turn up the heat because we want cold but,) there's no way you guys will have more fun than us NY'ers.

Have fun be safe and I ma looking forward to all the post hunt pics and stories.  

Terry..thank you...that will be very helpful!!!!!

I'll have venison chili to slop over them dogs....yummy!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good.mmmmmmm

anybody seen "harmless" Dave from fowlerville?

Steve, do you have any idea of a head count?  Seems like a lot less people posting here than in years past.

Tim...there has been less posting..might be economy related..but for the most part we should have the same group..plus i can think of close to 15-20 newbies that havent been there... We'll be pushing 15-20 from just my trad league...and some of those are new faces. I'm going to guess it will be about the same...It seems as if the posting has dried up on the mtb and mla forums also.... I wouldnt be surprised if we have are normal 50 hunters...We also had it advertise in sticktalk......the more the merrier ..looking forward to it.!!!!

Sounds great man.  I was hoping we would have a good turn out.  I was just starting to get a little worried.

Hey guys..i just did a quick run down off the top of my head and i came up with between 40-50 hunters that have committed.... Lets grab our buddies, their kids and introduce someone to traditional archery...... It would be great to break the 50 mark this year..we'll see you saturday !!!!!!!

I WILL BE THERE AND AM BRINGING AT LEAST TWO OTHERS.

Chad thats great...we've got a number of folks that arent on the internet coming also..... i just compiled another list and were between 50-60...hopefully everyone can make it!!! This could be a record breaking year!

   

Well boys, it's not going to happen for me this year.  I've been trying to get things in order for me to make it down but just can't swing it.
Have to be coaching at my son's games.  This will be his last year of b-ball on saturdays, next year will be 7th grade ball during the week.  I am marking my calendar for next years stomp.   Have a great time- smoke an arrow or two for me through the iron bunny- and be safe to everyone.   Dave

Dave..we'll save a bunny for you next year..lol.... plus a spot at the fire at buckjam 2010.

Steve,
I'm still working on the MO hunt.  Been a busy winter for me, doing too much service work and not enough desk time.....  I'll get in touch with you soon, may have a line on a late march scouting trip (couple guys heading out- may be able to join them).  I'll PM you when I get more details.

Will there be a swap meet or a table to sell items at? I have a bow,a KOM Bushman shirt, some other old camo that doesn't fit and a few other items that I could bring to sell.

Robert ... unfortunately we dont have a table to sell items at.  Our goal is to hold a raffle and auction to benefit the St Jude children. I like the idea but am afraid it would distract from the main cause.  You can surely bring an extra bow to see if someone has interest. We also appreciate any donations to the raffle table... We do our best to try and send everyone home with something...looking forward to seeing you all on saturday!!

I know I will be there, Mitch might come again too and his brother Brent but I'm not 100% sure if they are coming.  We have been talking about it since November haha.  Brent has a beagle, great dog, and I'm trying to have him bring her if he comes. Looking forward to coming again, had a blast last year.

Jack

TTT

Finished the wingbones for the raffle.  Turned out a little more "fragile" than I expected  (not sure the beads and junk would stay on if used roughly in the woods.)  The calls won't fall apart but may not be as eye appealing afterward.      

I also came down very sick and have not tuned them at all.  ( Just so ya know,  I have wiped them with bleach wipes just in case    :rolleyes:  ).  I feel like I am letting people down but they are what the are and I am happy with how they look.

Praying this crud goes away before Saturday, or at least enough that I can come up and join y'all.      

Oh yea... here's a pic of them:  
 

Finished with artificial sinew, leather lanyard and misc wild turkey feathers.

Crossing my fingers to meet y'all on Saturday.
