Byron/Kanati/ Bernie Dunn's hunting pics and story

[James Wrenn]

Boy that is a tough crowd in that picture.        

Don you and John need to work harder and put Bernie on a good deer.He will be good bear bait later on so you should keep him around for that.  :D  
Bernie my season has sucked so much I am already looking forward to 3d season.At least I can find something to shoot at.

Sounds like mine, James - except for this last week, as told in this thread. Maybe there's better days ahead for us. I won't worry about that Bear bait thing. John and Don are bigger and stronger but I'm faster than scat (especially when scared) for short bursts - and by then the bear will be busy chowin' down on John - lotsa meat there - LOL

[James Wrenn]

I don't think John has to worry about a bear or most anything else.Knowing him he will sell the bear something before the bear gets away.  :D  Odds are the bear will never know what to do with that quiver but after John gets finished talking he will want two.

Having had the pleasure of spending a few days with ole John the snake oil salesman at B'more, I can only say it all made this read the more funny! James, that is sooo wrong...but danged if that painted picture didn't wring true in my head reading your words!

Sorry John, boy!        

Bernie... being where meat was made is almost good enough!

Don sure put us on a nice hunt...bbq ribs and all the trimmings. I plan to finish Bernies gut pile hole in anticipation of his big kill on the next hunt. Its a lot of work preping for celebrity trad gang profiles(Bernie)to hunt the Batten ranch(LOL)  :D  

James, Bernie, Doc Noc
You fellas are tough on an ole trad equipment peddler. You just wait and see what that ole bear can do with his new quivers....  :D      

[Doc Nock]

Ole peddler? Ole? Listen "pup"...when you're in me and Bernie's company...ya need ta respect yer elders!

Now that right there is funny...not us being elders, but ya respectin us!

We'll keep trying, David. Rain/Wind here yesterday and today so couldn't get done what I wanted to out there on Mike and my possible sites - durn it! I even voted early so I wouldn't have to go do that today. Maybe I'll get out there tomorrow. I was gonna go hang some pink toilet paper, a mirror, and spray some foo-foo juice around, to see if we could get a few does hanging around - and entice some bucks in with 'em, maybe. (I'll try anything at this point!)

[John Dill]

I got to vote this morning and Cindy this evening. Feels good to exercise my rights...now I can't complain....as long as the right man gets the office(LOL)  :D

[ber643]

Like I've been saying, to anyone who'll listen, all day - just so you vote - even if you're wrong - LOL (It's so important to exercise your rights!) 'nough said!

[Doc Nock]

Looks like from the early voting returns, we needed more "exercise" Bernie!

God Bless America...

[ber643]

I know, Doc. Though we had a fantastic turnout, still too many folks stayed home because they figured their "one vote" wouldn't change things. That being said let me , please say one more thing: Being a retired military man I have always operated under one abiding belief - no matter how I feel, or who I vote for, once the dust settles and the voting is over, whoever was elected is then/now my personal "Commander In Chief" as long as they are in office. So it's back to hunting, and bow/knife building, etc.  with full patriotism intact  - but no further political reference from me in the general forums.

If this wind and rain will stop, I'll be out trying to fix up our stand cites this afternoon - I might even stay for the evening sit, if i don't get too tired        .

BTW - I was notified yesterday, by tg admin, that two of my old Deer Hunting stories had/have been moved to a new forum, "Memorable Hunts", and with links to them. I went to that forum and re-read them (in all honestly, because I wasn't sure i recalled what they were talking about -   :p  ). I not only got all excited again but also got re-inspired by all of the fine comments and wishes, in replys from our friends. I am very pleased to say I have three stories there, among all the other fine ones - thanks, Tradgang. Check them out, if you find your spirits are flagging a little        

[ber643]

Well I got too tired loading and unloading the materials for my carport/workshop remodeling project (which starts tomorrow), so I never got to the stand sites or hunt - oh well, maybe tomorrow. Believe me, I am more than ready to  do  "another story" -    

[vermonster13]

Good luck Bernie!

Thank you, David (VTm).
