Hey NJ Winter Bow Gang!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

all you need is one of those little battery fans, keep air moving and no bugs

[Jerry Jeffer]

Sal, I might be interested in hunting the morning with you guys. I never been down there, so I might need to be pointed in some direction. I could pick you up and may be you could ride home with Eric

[fyrfyter43]

Jerry, you could take 46 to 519. Follow 519 for about 15-20 miles, and it will take you right by Sal's house. Or you could take 33 south to 78 - Sal can give you directions from there. That way would probably be easier in the dark.

Sal, as long as the hitch haul isn't full of venison I'll be able to give your bike a ride home.

[Jerry Jeffer]

I've been to Sal's place. Guess he won't need the bike if I pick him up.

Joe Skipp, I was practicing wrapping myself up in Saran Wrap to keep the sketters off. Only problem was I couldn't breathe worth a POOP! I'll let you Folks know what i'll be doing for sure.Zone 2 and 5 are open as well. Don't forget to download and print Sweet Hollow Land Trust Letters! Must be on you!Where's this Owl's Nest Place? What Highway? Need Directions.

[Deadbolt]

If I hunt ill either still hunt assumpink wma ir take the ride up north to zone 2 and sit on stand.

Haven't decided but if the temps are up I won't bother...shoot gut drag skin quarted butcher vaccum seal its a lot of work for one guy to do in one night.  If its cool out ill go bc I can take my time but if its warm it takes the fun out of it.

[Jerry Jeffer]

Tom (deadbolt), how you solve that problem is you shoot a little one, clean it and put it on the BBQ whole. A few brewskies and your set.

[Deadbolt]

Good idea jerry LOL

[fyrfyter43]

Tom, here ya go. The marked address is the Owl's Nest. To hunt the WMA, park along Mellick's Wood Rd. - the end at the SE corner of the map. The WMA is right across rt. 519.

And here's a topo map of the WMA so you can get a better idea where the property is in relation to the roads.

Tom's hunted my back woods last year... Didn't see a deer, but it was a good hunt.

Kool, Thanx Jerry... that will work. I'm going to bring my video camera. Hopefully get one on tape.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

P.S. Jerry You'll have room for a climber?

[Deadbolt]

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I like to be all set-up about 1 hr before Sunrise 5:00 AM. So we would have to meet at 4:00 AM so we can walk in slow and quite as to not make noise & build up sweat..

[Jerry Jeffer]

I should be able to fit your climber Sal. How big is it? I don't use any of that so I'll  have my bow and quiver in the car. What time at your place?

[Recurve50 LBS]

Decisions, decisions.....I also have permission to hunt a small property in zone 9 that is full of deer.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Jerry if you want to go in early then 4:00 Am my place. I can show you the first scrape, it's on a major trail.

[Jerry Jeffer]

Ok, I should be able to do that. 4AM your place on the 13th. If any thing comes up, I'll try to give you plenty of notice.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Kool,there is a semi-opening up the trail more Or You can go to the high trail. Should be hunters up there, too. Where we well be is in between the corn fields and the top of the ridge. Where was some blow downs, but hard to find in the dark.
