Jason I just saw that picture of Gadget John walking up the icey road that's why Bucky and I call him GADGET JOHN.

Hey those are some wonderful pictures! Thank you guys for remembering to bring your cameras. I'd like to repete what a few of you said about this group. Top notch, first class and not one gripe from a single person during the whole day. We did do well pushing the deer around considering most of us had never been in those woods before. No one got lost either. Boy I've never seen so many bear tracks in my life! Guess they either were run off by our drives or they flew south for the winter. I would surly like to have another group hunt before winter bow ends. I'm having too much fun now and I don't want the fun to end.
Oh I have a small charcoal grill I would be willing to bring if the group wants to do a tail gate thing. Something to think about anyway.

Did you guys come across any bird hunters and or kick up any birds?

fyrfyter43 · January 06, 2008, 10:58:00 AM

There were some bird hunters around...heard shots throughout the day.

One of the corn fields we walked across had quite a few pheasant tracks, but I didn't hear anybody mention seeing any birds.

Real glad to hear you guys had a great time. Sure wish I could've come but that's just the way it is sometimes. At least I was able to meet up and have breakfast with you fine gentlemen.

Jason, give me a call and we'll hook up. Even if we just get together to shoot in the yard. Maybe we can even get Frank to join us.

Hey Larry, I know what you mean, winter bow seems to go by too quick for me. Just when things start clicking, it's over.

Oh boy I almost forgot to thank Dave and fyrfyter43 Eric for finding my lost radio. Dave didn't make our group pict cause he took a stand up the hill from the place we took our pict.

lodestar · January 06, 2008, 11:26:00 AM

Somebody left a pair of Lacrosse boots at the Walpack Inn. I have them.

Whoever they belong to, drop me a PM or email with your address and I'll get them in the mail to you.

I just checked...they're Lacrosse Alphas - size 11. They look like they've only been worn a time or 2.

After everybody left, they were on the ground next to where lodestar's truck was parked.

I had a really good time yesterday. FYI, I was the guy with the funny hat and clothes

I have never seen more deer at one time. I saw the deer running in fron of me across the road and it sounded like a truck coming down the road. There had been a truck that drove up the road after we posted and I thought it was that truck when the deer were running right in fron of me. There had to be over 10 of them because I counted at least that and there were more in front leading the charge. Who knew they would cross the road and run passed Eric and Pete

.

Anyway, it was great and hope to do it again. Do you guys think that there will be another get together this winter season?

\\That Jeep of yours was the hit of the day.

That Jeep's been a project for my son and I over the last 3.5 years. Between all the work that has gone into it, and the occasional offroad trip, we've really had some good times together.

I do drive it everyday, but it gets tiring for longer trips. And I avoid highways with it at all costs.

fyrfyter43 · January 06, 2008, 03:55:00 PM

This Saturday sounds good for me.

bentpole · January 06, 2008, 04:04:00 PM

Pete we can call Domino's pizza and see if they can find us in twenty minutes!I'm surprized that those electric arrows of Tom's didn't prevent those deer from sneaking in between you and Tom. John I like that hat of yours! Wasn't it you and Eric that stopped me from sliding down that ridge in bear alley? I would've hit the canvas for sure.I'm game for Saturday hope I don't have to work! Folks Cat Like Reflexes!!!!!

Forgot to mention...Deadbolt...with those pink dipped, pink fletched arrows, you are no officially a member of "Team Pink". I personally voted you in....its good to see another bowhunter using hot pink besides me. I left mine home in favor of the blaze orange Super Slams for this hunt.

Only thing that stopped me was a big tree at the bottom of the hill after i crashed into it LOL...that was me screaming like a little girl going 40mph down the hill on my back LOL.

bentpole · January 06, 2008, 06:23:00 PM

Tom you and Pete are welcome to hunt with me anytime! I was laughing so much yesterday next time we hunt together I might have to wear DEPENDS!!!!

Vision Hunter · January 06, 2008, 06:27:00 PM

Tom, Eric and I were the one's that stopped you from sliding down the hill.

Alex.B · January 06, 2008, 06:31:00 PM

Tom-Bentpole, I'm hooked now. I will be back this week to get more acquainted with beautiful Sussex County, and hopefully do another group hunt on the weekend. Won't be missing another meet at Jumboland, rest assured.
