Yes on the corner at the light 46 519 Crossroads Diner. Reiner might come too. So Reiner, my Bud Steve, and me Diner 8:00/8:30. Eric did you call Bill or Scott at PVA?

fyrfyter43 · August 22, 2008, 09:28:00 PM

Lee and I will meet you at the diner around 8:00/8:30.

I called PVA earlier. Got the recording. Said they're open 10 - 4 Saturdays and Sundays, but closed this Saturday.

I forgot to call back later, but I think we can assume they'll be there Sunday, since the recording specifically said they won't be there tomorrow.

Deadsmple · August 22, 2008, 10:50:00 PM

That's great Tom, I'm glad to hear you got Reiner to come.

bentpole · August 23, 2008, 08:07:00 AM

Vaughn, that's what Reiner said Friday morning. He said he'd really like to see all you folks again. I'll call Alex too but I know he's real busy.I'll be bringing up my Bud Steve. I had him shooting in the back yard yesterday. Of course they sold him the wrong arrows at the wheely bow shop for his recurve.He'll have both bows he wants to take a deer with his compound first and then make the switch.Maybe we can sway him. Eric I'll PM you my cell #.If the PVA recording said closed Saturday and no mention of Sunday they should open. I'll call them Sunday morning for sure. Steve needs arrows.

Tom, unless your cell # changed since winter bow, I have it.

I need to pick up a dozen GTs as well tomorrow. Need to make me some huntin' arras!

fyrfyter43 · August 23, 2008, 11:18:00 AM

Just checked my email - got it!

Jerry Jeffer · August 23, 2008, 01:50:00 PM

Sorry dudes, looks like I'll be going to Shohola for the day tomorrow. Probably get in a bunch of stumpin'. Enjoy the day. Hope to catch up another time before the season gets underway. WOW, like 3 weeks?

bentpole · August 23, 2008, 04:34:00 PM

Bummer Jerry! Well I spoke to Alex he's real busy but he'll try to come anyway. Hec of a ride for him too.Tried getting in touch with Reiner called his cell and his house. Left two messages we'll see. George is in Maryland setting up the daughter in a new apartment for college. Larry is in Conn. So far two positives me and my Bud Steve.

pdk25 · August 23, 2008, 06:03:00 PM

I plan on making it as well. If I can get my butt out of bed I'll try to meet you guys at the diner.

imskippy · August 23, 2008, 09:25:00 PM

My son and I are going to try and make it. Not sure if well make the diner. If not I'll see you guys at the range. My son Matthew is 5 and has not had much practice at all with the bow so it'll be a learning experience for him.

bentpole · August 24, 2008, 05:09:00 PM

I had a great time today even though the State forgot to set up the 3-D range!!! LOL!!! In side joke. Was good seeing all my Trad Gang Brothers once again! Eric,his son Lee,Vaughn, Patrick, and Skippy and his little guy! PLUS the quality time at Pequest Valley Archery!Did alot of work found the right arrows for Steve and we are splitting a dozen so he's all set. He WILL hunt with the Kohannah Kurve opening day!YES! Vaughn that Marriah Chinook shoots nice Bud! Thanks!I'll be back with Steve, Bucky, Larry, Andrew,and anyone else, next Sunday when they put out the 3-D targets for sure! CrossRoads Diner and Blueberry Pancakes![sausage on the side]

imskippy · August 24, 2008, 05:46:00 PM

It was a pleasure meeting you all. I hope to meet up with you guys for a hunt or two this season.

Lee,thanks for bringing out the balloons for you and Matthew to shoot at. He's very excited to have popped his first balloon. I think he may be hooked.

Bentpole, Those sure are some sweet shooters you have there. I think I shot better with your bows than I did my own.

Thanks to PVA for tapering my shafts so I can finally get my woodies setup. I hope to take my first deer with trad this year. Good luck to all this coming season I hope to meet up with you all again soon. Thanks again. Skippy and Matthew

Jason, gotta' love those Longbows!!! Horne's Traditionalist and The Mohawk!!

**DONOTDELETE** · August 24, 2008, 06:53:00 PM

Glad Y'all had a great time. Sorry I wasn't there.BTW next Sunday is the 4th Sunday of the month.

BTW, The starter is coming up quickly. Anyone want to come hunt some nice land up by me? Behind the owl's nest (pohat North wma)? Let me know...

Eric has to take his wife somewhere (can't say for what...I do know tho)anyway. If no one else wants to join me I'll be hunting behind the house.

Again soory I missed the shoot guys.

bentpole · August 24, 2008, 07:27:00 PM

Sal, me and my Bud Steve would like to keep you company!!! Eric said Sweet Hollow picked up another 99 acres too!

fyrfyter43 · August 24, 2008, 08:48:00 PM

Actually, Sal, next Sunday is the 5th Sunday of the month. But the sign at Pequest said the course is set up for the LAST Sunday of the month. A little confusion somewhere. I'm going to email Keith this week to make sure it will be up for next Sunday.

BTW, I might be able to make it to either Pohat or Sweet Hollow on the 13th. Jen is going to see if she can get a later appointment. I told her it just wasn't right to keep me home on opening morning.

Jerry Jeffer · August 24, 2008, 08:55:00 PM

Hey Sal, would love to come join you by your place or where ever. I'll just need to know where. Maybe I can do next sunday at Pequest too.

**DONOTDELETE** · August 24, 2008, 10:18:00 PM

kool, let me know. where? both spots are nice. Behind the Owl's nest we would just have to stay and wait for the deer to walk up the hill.Then just a drag down hill to check them in.
