I'm pretty sure I can! Do you fletch your own? I have a couple that the fletching has come off of (plus 5 or 6 complete), I'll throw them all in the Jeep when I pack for the hunt.

That sounds great! I don't fletch yet but I'm working up a pretty good pile of arrows that need to be redone so it's probably a good time to get started.

I tried to get Woody Blackwell to come up during your trip, but he has a scheduling conflict.

Woody is a great flint knapper...world-renowned stature- and is going to be putting on flint knapping and arrow building clinics at regular intervals for us at Hog Heaven going forward.

Wish we could have worked it out but I'm looking forward to you guys being down!

petertschantz · May 27, 2011, 11:00:00 AM

That would have been cool Ray. Maybe next time.

After the day I had at work,I'm ready to leave now!

Sean Butler · May 27, 2011, 09:24:00 PM

I'm really ready for this trip. My old employer called me today, turns out the person that took my job has been embezzeling money for years and they are extremely short handed for one of their busy weekends. I decided to work for a bit.

the good news is my new hh bow fund will start this weekend!

Hey Don, Looks like we've got a full camp right now but if things change I'll keep ya posted.

Ray Hammond · May 28, 2011, 09:25:00 PM

Rick,

Is it you, Doug, Pete Schantz, Sean, Tom Jorgensen, and Dave Bartlett? If that's where we are, I can swing one more if Don wants to go and you can work out the travel part of it.

Rick Butler · May 29, 2011, 05:53:00 AM

That's my count Ray, and if you can get one more in we're good with that, but I've got 4 in my van now so we're pretty full up for the ride down. I'll PM werewolf and let him know what's up.

Rick Butler · May 29, 2011, 08:25:00 PM

Don we may be able to make it work. PM sent.

sticksnstones · May 29, 2011, 09:59:00 PM

I sent a PM too. Looks like there are a lot of guys from the mitten hungry for bacon!!!

Sean Butler · May 30, 2011, 10:17:00 AM

I just don't want to have to go grocery shopping for a bit!

sticksnstones · May 30, 2011, 11:55:00 AM

Finally got my little kit packed this morning. I'm going ultra light after reading the earlier part of the thread. I think I am going to bring my little camelback for the water with this stuff tucked in it.

One knife to sharpen plus my new broadheads when they arrive Wednesday. Been hitting the javelina target pretty good out to 20. Feels like it's all coming together with about 3 weeks to go!

petertschantz · June 01, 2011, 07:12:00 AM

My new strings arrived yesterday. Shot some last night, groups shrinking and arrows flying great.

I'll start getting my kit together now, and shooting with the camelbak on to get used to that.

Can't wait for the 17th!

Pete

Sean Butler · June 01, 2011, 07:09:00 PM

I can hardly wait! I'm heading to my dad's tomorrow to test some wood arrows, and work on some arrows for my HH cheetah.

Mike Vines · June 01, 2011, 07:43:00 PM

I nave no doubt you will have a great time.

Rick Butler · June 01, 2011, 07:56:00 PM

It's hard NOT to have a good time at Hog Heaven. The weekend passes much to quickly.

Sean Butler · June 01, 2011, 08:17:00 PM

i popped in the last wilderness/ hunting the hardway just cuz i can't stand it any more.
