I have a feeling the fun and hunting will match the cooking.

BTW, that's one heck of a stove.

Hunt was kinda slow this morning. Chilly and drizzle. A few sightings but no shot oops. Came back to camp to fi d Cory busy at work

Wraps of all kinds. For the kids he had PB&J wraps with fresh almond butter, cocoanut ,toasted almonds and home made jam. Me and Michael ate most of them though.

Taylor , my grandson came up to hang out. He brought his bows and he and mills got some shooting in.

Mean while inside a broad head sharpening class was going on.

Mills show them boys how it's done

Whip/Tippit, I know you guys are gonna see some turkeys soon but you gonna be hard pressed to have any more Fun than Ive had since thursday afternoon. Everyone is home safe now. Resting and unpacking I'm sure. The hunt was a success to start with in that in raised a ton of cash for st judes. I might be wrong but i think it might have been #1 for donations from the bid forums. Thanks to each and every one of you who bought a chance to win. Wish we had to room and means to have you all for a hunt. That said, we all had a blast . Got my stuff unloaded and about half put away. Blinds are drying out in the sun as I type this.

more later. Bernie probably has more pics than anyone. stay tuned. DB

Don and I got home safe and sound this AM and the wife and I even had time to go do our normal Sunday morning things. Just returned - haven't even started posting pics to PhotoBucket but have plenty to post. May be a lot of duplicates (from different angles) but I know you guys 'n gals don't mind - just so's there's pictures to look at. Gotta go take my ol' man nap and then take Rose out for supper tonight but I will be adding pics and chatter about this great social , hunting, eating, and sleeping weekend as soon as I can (at least within the next week :D ). A great time was had by all at this new, innovative St. Jude Hunt Raffle Offering by my friend, Don Batten. It will be a weekend to treasure, spent with fine folks, for all of us involved - including all who contributed but couldn't actually be there. I'm sure Michael, and Cory will also be adding pictures and comments (and Don has a few "secret" pics left, I think). I wouldn't even be surprised if the daunting Miss Mills and Master Woods have a few choice words to slip in for the many friends they've made through this great St. Jude endeavor. Hang in there, y'all; pics and stories are owed, and will be paid. Trust me on this, I'm a retired Marine and Marines never lie

(Oh, some of us do have notoriously bad memory chips though -

)

Cory, great pics. That's a nice stand of clover in that 1st picture.

I hear ya, Jeff, my flightless Kiwi friend, call it what ya like, it still means I "misplace" folks names (and mailing addresses, sometimes - no more Blue Grass music for you - LOL.

Love your pics also Cory!

O.K., I'm back (and have been for some time) but I didn't realize how many pictures I took of this unforgettable weekend. More than I ever took at any other hunt or shoot, I'm sure. Took a tad longer to upload than ever. Just hope my change in options worked to re-size them properly, or I'll have to do it all over. Let's check it out with a one picture post.

Here is the Camp where all the fun and games of the St, Jude Turkey Hunt - 2013 took place, compliments of Tommy Batten and his owner/partners:

Great pic Bernie but one small correction. This ain't no lease.
