Southern Indiana New Year's Day Hunt

[John Scifres]

A few Hoosiers are getting together on New Year's Day for a hunt and gathering at the Knob Lake Campground in the Jackson-Washingtn State Forest near Brownstown, IN.  This is the same place we hold the Southern Indiana Bowhunt every October.  All are welcome.  Some are arriving on Friday and some on Saturday.  Camping is $5.  There's a big shelterhouse with a fireplace and we'll cook and drink and tell lies late into the night on Saturday night.  Word is that Sticks-n-strings is bringing his new cabin tent. Email or PM for further info.

TTT

Ring in the New Year and ring out the bow season with us.  I have at least 4 "fer sure's" and a couple "mebbes".

fer sher   or is that     fur shirt

either way it'll be fun      

[John Scifres]

Friday's warm but rainy.  Saturday and Sunday are cold but clear.  Pick yer poison.  Personally I have a creek bottom all picked out to still hunt up.  I know exactly where they are feeding on the piles of acorns left behind by the massive mast year we had.  I also know of a couple really nice saddles if someone wants to sit them.  Guaranteed deer sightings  

[Billy]

Hey, I wanted to hunt that creek...But, that other one is good too!!  

Just gotta figure out where the acorn carpet is still plush....sure there are not many left; but there are plenty of hidey holes for everyone!!!

That sounds great. I just talked to Billy and I will try to make it.

[John Scifres]

There are a lot of acorns left and the deer are still hammering them.  I have GPS coordinates.

Bona, no try...DO!

Here's the fer sures:

I'm running PowerPoint for a friend's wedding New Year's day.  

Again, you guys are going to be about 2 miles from where I go every two weeks or so across from the Jackson County Fairgrounds. In fact, my father-in-laws farm abutts Jackson/Washington State Forest. He has a persimmon grove at the bottom of the pond next to the woods that has been the death of many does!

[Billy]

All the "fer sures" and Mike made it .. was gettin a bit chilly when I had to leave last evening.

Few tree rats fired upon and lots of deer sign !!!  .. and now we await the rest of the story.......
