[Yellow Dog]

Tom, packet came in the mail. How many are we talking about feeding in week two? That'll give me a better idea of what and how much chow to bring on the 14 hour drive to feed the hungry hunters for a meal.

[d. ward]

yeah TP I can see that happening...

[wapitimike1]

I been pileing up rodents (Coons, Possums, Skunks, etc)sliceing them up and maken jerky as Hard Tack. Something to chew on while waiting.
In Africa they called it BilTong. I called it dried rotted meat. At least mines not rotten just dry.

[Tom Phillips]

Wapiti-Mike,
Your Jerky sounds good.You gonna also supply the dental floss sticks & mouthwash ?

[Biggie Hoffman]

Tom, is it true? Marty McMahon is coming this year?

[Tom Phillips]

Yes Sir,
The Famous Floridian Bowhunter will be in BQ camp !! Anything I should know about Marty ?

[Biggie Hoffman]

Yeah....take a lot of extra flashlight batteries. You guys are gonna be out late every night!

[Tom Phillips]

Why alot of batteries ?  Doe's he wander from stand alot and not have a good sense of direction or will we have to look for arrows that are MIA ? Or does he like tracking ???

[Biggie Hoffman]

              Tom

[wapitimike1]

Is there a sweat lodge up there to rid us of evil spirits?

[meathead]

Bowdoc will take care of the evil spirits for you.

[bill langer]

Maddog- You can boil up those lobsters you promised, while ridding yourself of those evil spirits...

Nate is right on, I am sure bowdoc will be willing to help!!

[wapitimike1]

A large jar of pickled eggs and a case of cheap beer then we enter the hut. That's as close to red crab as it gets!

[Tom Phillips]

Has everyone recieved their "List" for hunt ?

[d. ward]

oh yeah I can smell this one brewing already its gonna get soooooooooo good it won't be long now lady's not long at all.
Tom you gotta get me the huge 3-4 bunner propane stove with the grill(like mine) so we can use it outside not like Lloyd's grill but a flat pancake type grill..you can take the cost of one out of my pay.
Hey one other thing guy's Tom always forgets to mention to you,you should start practicing right now from oh lets just say 12-15 foot shots from like 4 feet off the ground bd

[Tom Phillips]

Bowdoc,
I am working on a good outside grill to your liking.

[d. ward]

atta boy if its new you may want to heat it up to around 400 degrees then wipe it down with peanut oil and let it cool repete as many time as possible see ya soon bd
