We had been planning this weekend for a long time. It was great to have Curt and his dad here. Friday After school, I met Curt at my home and we messed around for a few hours before setting out for Dinner. After a great meal, we went home to prepare for the bowfishing trip. As Curt said, it started out kinda slow, but then it seemed like someone flipped a switch and they were there. At One time, me and Curt both had Big fish on at the same time. It was really exciting...We shot carp, buffalo, and gar.....We missed an undisclosed amount of shots.

but we had a great time. Saturday we went to Unclaimed Baggage, then when we got home we started making flu-flus and shot every bow we owned. At dark, we met Conan(his handle is FurStalker) at the boat ramp, but the storm got us and we had to call it quits. JC and Chase set up a meeting place for Sunday Morning AND....................Curt, JC,.....It's your turn....................

Guru · April 01, 2009, 06:49:00 PM

Skyler's an old pro at making spiral flu-flu's now!

Sunday morning it was time for the Pheasant/Quail hunt that Don had set-up. It would be Conan, Don, Sky, JC and his boy Chase, and myself with bows. We were all hoping that Terry would be able make it but he was covered up. My Dad and Don's Dad would be our back-up shotgunners. We figured we better have them so we could at least bring something home with us

More warm up at the house before we left to meet JC ....Don, Sky, and Conan....

Waiting for our guide Jeff at the lodge....

Gearin' up.....

more later,gotta tend to a couple things.....

JC · April 01, 2009, 07:07:00 PM

Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute...you mean you got to practice before the hunt...NOW you tell me

Chase and I couldn't be a part of the fish slaying but only because school/work/commitments intervened. I've seen Conan's boat, and know Don and Skyler's propensity to stick arrows into big fish...I knew it would be a night to remember for Curt. Sorry we couldn't join them.

But...Sunday morning I was giving permission by the preacher to skip. After telling him we intended to try to cut some feathers off of airborn birds with longbows he said "Lord son, I'm gonna pray fer you!" Well, the prayers were sho nuff answered.

Firebird · April 01, 2009, 07:52:00 PM

Me and my dad(JC)were supposed to leave at 11:00 to go to one of my wrestling banquet and i had to talk my mom out of it. Everybody was ruting for me and just luckaly i cought her at a good time(church)
