You guys did a great job in one week-end.  Nice job on Lil' Haven.  Thanks for sharing and please keep those pics coming, Ron.

Roy, you crack me up. We gotta share a campfire together sometime.

 

Ron - Looking at those pics reminded me of the April/May 1993 TBM cover. I dug it out and then got my autographed copy of "The Ghost of Armstrong Creek" and reread it. I really "need" to find my way up there before the lights are turned out. Good stuff!

There were originally four in the "Shrewhaven Crew".  We stayed in a cabin owned by Bob Garner on his personal property that ajoined the property owned by Ron, Bob and one other partner.  The original 4 consisted of Ron, Greg Nicolaou, Tim Cosgrove and myself.  We expanded to 6 and were busting at the seams after 9 years of hunting camp. As Ron mentioned, the original cabin was moved and "remodeled" with a lot of TLC to restore it to original condition.  Two of the members now have son in laws that have transitioned into traditional archery and the cabin that would barely hold six was busting at the seams again.  Well, with some more hard work, we now have roomier sleeping quarters once again without having to loose the charm of "Shrewhaven".  I'm looking forward to camp this fall.

Now if we can somehow convince the rest of the world that this is exactly why we hunt.

Just to get away from it all, share good times and bad luck, and most of all to breathe and relax in our thoughts. Doesn't hurt if a deer passes by while we day dream.

Best of luck with the new digs Ron and thanks for sharing the pics and poem.

Most of yea old hunters sits by the fire eating  their grits.

All that is save one, he just looks on at them and spits.

Cajole and harangue did they one and all to break the one down.

But true to his taste buds, all he could muster was a frown.

Morning came early, such a frosty start.

"southern tofu" was a meal for the crowds largest part.

All but the one who could not choke down this gastric fright.

For him it was a bowl of steaming hot oatmeal much to his delight.

Now comes evening again at Shrew haven with all it tired hunters and one true man!!

He knew what was important and stayed true to his plan.

Grits is for goats and meat is for man!!

God bless,Mudd

                           

Enjoy  Ron!! Love ya man!!!

And when the mackerel he ate made his fart smell like bait,
They threw him into the cold,even though he was told.
eat up your grits for the mackerel gives us the $hits.

The End!
 And your camp looks like heaven.I wish I was there.

Ah, the poets that live among us....great looking camp.  Looks like a place where a lot of memories reside.
Thanks for sharing that special place with us!

It looks like my poem took on the persona of a seagull... no wait... it was a "Tern"... and a  was a "Tern" for the worse!!!!!...lol

What a great place!

Very nice.

The local Warden is a friend of ours. He stopped by camp one evening to show us a nice 12pt that was poached in our area. He caught the poacher.

 

Can't wait can't wait.....need to be there....

The old deer hanging  rail.. Hmmm who's missing?
