americanhunter7 · September 22, 2011, 01:38:00 AM

Anyone gonna be over this way to scout this weekend? If you are give me a shout I'm off this weekend and would love to meet some of you folks before the hunt if possible, if not I'll see you in about 14 days.

I'd like to make the trip up John but it's youth weekend and I got three little ladies to take to the woods :D

John Scifres · September 22, 2011, 07:25:00 AM

Don't forget it's the youth hunt this weekend. Might want to wear some orange.

Lainey and I will be out in Parke County on Sunday for her first hunt

I have a boy that's wanting to go out this weekend too or I would try to make a scouting trip.

I keep forgetting about the youth hunt...Wish I had one old enough to take. Have fun with the girls Kris, and good luck to all blessed enough to be hunting with our future.

May want to get an elk tag. Front page of the paper had an article about an elk being hit near the Crawford/Harrison line on SR 64.

Maybe John smuggled some back from CO. :D

Shhh!

I'll be in the woods in the morning with youngest.

I sure am counting the days, I finished up my primitive set up the other day and will be hunting with it some. Hopefully I will take my first stone head deer at the hunt. :D

That would be just tooo cool Kris! I'm trying for my first Indiana deer!

I wish I could post pics of the side quiver I'm working on for the hunt. I will be using Grizzly El Grandes and the little bow quiver I've been using doesn't have a long enough hood. So, as I've mentioned before, I'm converting a Selway recurve bow quiver into a side quiver using a poplar board. I had this blank side that was just begging for some carving or burning or both.

Photobucket is giving me fits and I can't get my pics to upload.

I've been Grizzly sharpening and getting some things for the teepee to make it more homey. It won't be long now!

John Scifres · September 24, 2011, 10:08:00 AM

I'm pondering a primitive setup too Kris. I have all the ingredients just maybe not the time to cook up the recipe. This rain this morning gets me out of cutting grass for a couple hours at least. Now if only they'd cance the soccer games

b.glass · September 24, 2011, 04:23:00 PM

Ok, I finally got it to work. Here is the quiver I've been working on.

Rob W. · September 24, 2011, 05:36:00 PM

Looks good! You figure out those broadheads yet?

Rob

b.glass · September 24, 2011, 06:18:00 PM

I refuse to post pics of my finished arrows until I get those Grizzlies shaving sharp. I'm close. But not there yet. They cut a rubber band pretty slick but not shaving hair. I'm keeping in contact with Ron as he is helping me figure them out.

It's got to be tough for him, trying to tell someone over the phone or through an e-mail something that would be 10x's easier in person. But he is the kindest, most patient person you can imagine.

Are you all ready to go Rob?

Billy · September 24, 2011, 06:30:00 PM

Cool quiver, Bona!!

I'm home this weekend and packing!
Will be back at it Sunday evening..until the 5th....then I will hunt the afternoon of the 6th and every chance I get...here or there....until the 15th...have other things to get done in that time but...No cool new archery things for me this year except; all the new faces joining us for 'the hunt'..
See ya'll soon...

b.glass · September 24, 2011, 06:51:00 PM

That sounds great Billy. I will be good to see you again!

Rob W. · September 24, 2011, 08:04:00 PM

My hunting stuff is ready. Made a list of camping stuff I want to take about a mile long. Backpacking is easier it limits my space. I always think I might need this or that.

Wish I knew what everyone was bringing food wise. Need to get a grocery list ready.

How much would this be for a non US resident say a Canadian boy who's always wanted to hunt in Indiana.

Troy Breeding · September 24, 2011, 08:27:00 PM

Is anyone going to be there a day or two early? I was thinking about making it down early if any one else is going to be there to point me in the right direction. Never been to the place and would rather not waste those extra days trying to find my way around.

Troy

Rob W. · September 24, 2011, 08:31:00 PM

I would say a non resident lic. would still apply but I'm not sure. I think a hunter ed course is required for anyone born after 1986. in.gov has a bunch of info and maybe some phone numbers to double check.

Hope it works out.

Rob

John Scifres · September 24, 2011, 08:51:00 PM

Troy,

I can point you in the right direction from afar if need be. It's not a hard place to figure out.

I am pretty sure Canadians would be treated as any other non-resident. First two tags are $150 each. After that, you can buy antlerless tags for $24 each.
