There is a front coming in that should cool things down. I'm not sure how long it will last, but hopefully until February!

Charlie,

I'm with you in hoping it cools down. I just returned from the IN TG hunt and it was hot. Spent more time in camp than the woods due to the heat.

Shirts were shipped this morning. The delivery will be tomorrow according to USPS. Sorry it took so long.

I am still only certain of 2 people that sent extra $ money for the shirts to be shipped. That is Mike and Logan. I think there is still one other person that wanted the shirt shipped to them. Please let me know.

Let me know

Jimmy(GBHunter) and Matt,

If you get down there before anyone else on Friday, set up further back and to the top of the camping area if possible. I would like to be in a bigger area for everyone to camp nearer to each other this year.

Thanks!

[bghunter76]

Ok will do if possible. I'll be there sometime sat.

[buckeye_hunter]

I might just beat you down there then. I'll have to talk to Matt before I head down.

[Longbowlogan]

Got the shirts today! They look good, maybe my new good luck charm  

[buckeye_hunter]

Glad to hear you got them!

If anyone needs to reach me, the telephone number is 614-209-8568. While in camp I won't have a signal, but I will go to the top of the hill Saturday night to check messages. I will also be available most of this Friday(10-14)via cell. I am heading down to set some things up either VERY late tomorrow night or early Saturday morning. I plan to hunt this Saturday and Sunday. I will come home for Mon and Tuesday then be back out there for Wed night to Sunday afternoon. I likely won't have signs out until Wed night though.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me.

[celticknot]

I won't be down till sunday afternoon, have to get some work done at the house before I leave, or the wife is going to leave me. lol

[buckeye_hunter]

Due to a high numnber of campers in our camp area K, we are forced to change locations. We will be camping in area D. Please look for the primitive tents and you will will find us. I will also have a sign posted.

Sorry for the change, but it is necessary.

[celticknot]

Campsite D is about 8 miles south of cumberland on 83 it is about a mile and a half past the aep building on the right, campsite D is on the left. Jimmy if you can try to secure the camp site all the way in the back it's 30 yrds down the road that says road closed. I'll be there sometime sun.

Matt;
-Breakfast Friday morning

Fred,

Troy,
Late breakfast/brunch Saturday.

That covers a good number of meals. Lunch isn't listed for any of the days. Therefore, you take care of yourself for lunches. Hopefully it is cool and deer are moving all day so we will be eating lunch in our stands. I am leaving tomorrow morning. Couldn't get free tonight. I am coming home Sunday night and returning Wednesday night for the "official" start of camp. I won't be putting the signs out until Wednesday night. Probably sometime around 6:30 or 7 pm. I can't get there before then. If you get there before we have signs out, just go to camp D and look for the Canvas tent(s).

[celticknot]

Headed down today. Just have to do laundry pack all my **** and load it on the truck and trailer. "sounds" easy enough. LOL

[celticknot]

Took me all day but I'm loaded up and on my way.

Directions to camp D from I70:

South on 83.
-continue south on 83 through Cumberland
-continue past console energy sign(roughly 7 miles south of Cumberland. It is lit up at night)
-continue past the big lit up white building with red roof(It says AEP in large red letters)
-You will see a sign just past this building that is yellow and is a warning for truckers of a steep grade.
-Continue past that sign and you will see a yellow sign that says park entrance.
-Continue past that sign and the Camp D is at the bottom of the hill on the left.
-There is a big brown sign on the left that says Camp D, but it is actually easy to miss in the dark.
-We are in the first set of campsites on the right. The camp road is a little long.
-Look for several white canvas tents a small blue and gray tent and a blue pic-nic tarp.


Camp D is roughly 9 miles south of Cumberland.

See you all thursday!

The hunting was rough this weekend, but Tony did pass up a 20-25 yard shot on a button buck. The wind and full moon didn't do us any favors.

[Longbowlogan]

Sounds good! I can't wait to get down there and meet everyone, Alex and myself will be there Wednesday evening. Hopefully before dark! Lol

[buckeye_hunter]

I'm not sure what time I will get back down Wednesday. That is why I tried to get very specific with the directions.

FYI.. There won't be signs posted until I come through Wed evening. In the past someone has removed some of my signs. I'm glad this is easier to find than Camp K if that happens again.

Also, the camps cleared out pretty well. Most of the campers were there to hike, fish or just hang out. Very few hunters were there. I didn't run into any other people when hunting this weekend. AEP is HUGE, it never ceases to amaze me! Look over your aerial photos before you come down. Lots of places to roam.
