OK ladies & gents the dates are set for the hunt.... October 17 through October 25 (Sat-Sun)..

The fall colors will be at or near peak, and the moon phase is perfect. A new moon is on the 18th. So far we have 4 for sure. There is plenty room for a bunch more. This is a perfect opportunity to get together and meet fellow Trad Gang members, see some really beautiful country and enjoy some good hunting as well.

I'll have to keep an eye out on this one. I'll be down in Highland Co. from the 16th to the 26th with a couple of buddies, but there's a few days planned out and about.

I will be in Highland over Columbus Day weekend, and then from the 24th into November. Kinda far for a day trip for me, but I will see what happens.

Guess I done scart everyone off???

Ladies & Gents the dates are set, we are hunting October 17 through October 24. I will most likely arrive Friday afternoon to begin setting up camp. Hunt Saturday and Sunday do some last minute scouting. Then it's hard hunting through the following Saturday and Sunday we will break camp for home.

Feel free to join us for any or all of the above dates. I will have some good locations scouted out for those that can't get up to do their own.

Last year there we saw a bunch of critters, including a shot at a black bear, 1 buck fell to an arrow and many squirrels and grouse were seen as well. This year looks to be another super year. I should have a mass crop report within the next few weeks.

Hope to see you there!

This hunt is also posted on the Virginia forum....

Dave (pig man) and I will be there sometime during the week.

Do y'all think we should talk about meal plans? I think the idea of each person bringing a meal to feed the group for 1 meal was a good idea. I'll bring a pot of my Rob-a-que as my wife calls it. If I recall the first gathering we all broke out all the food at once. The second one I think was better.

I know I'll bring warmer clothes for at night and a tent heater this year. Last year it got quite cool at night.

Hey Rob do we need a Natnl Forest stamp?
