Looks like Whip,Elkken and Doc Nock have have done a good job on the stories and pictures. Some of those scenes from Whip's place would make a good Thomas Kincaid painting. My time on stand went about like the rest with close sightings of what would be good deer down in the Carolina's. One evening I had 2 really nice tom turkey roost about 50 yards from my stand. I had purchased a turkey tag at Walmart in Black River Falls so I went back the next morning hoping they would come my way but they flew down towards the neighboring property. The last morning hunt they did give us a couple of "goodbye" gobbles. Whip should have some good bird there come spring. Thanks to Whip for being so gracious to share his place and take the time to spend with us. I have to say that without Sunny Hill the pound cake war would never have reached this magnitude- over $15,000 for St Judes just this year. I hope Sunny gets him a big ole buck at "Camp Bastard"

I can believe I missed this post...but being with out power for days will do that! I'm also sorry I couldn't join in the hunt...but I was commited to a little Atlantic salmon fishing. What a great hunt. I take my hat off to y'all for your generosity to the kids. Written from my tree stand without help from spell checker & big thumbs...tippit

You WERE a frequent topic of the early camp days all wishing you could have joined us...! Whip shared you were off flailing the waters for Salmon! Not a bad alternative, I might add!
Charles, I'm sure you could add a few pics that would be of value before this slips off into oblivion, but alas, the memories and friendships made will never be lost!
I am tickled to report that I was finally able to get out into a tree stand yesterday late afternoon. The "purple hue" is now localized just behind the knee, but any sitting a bit still causes a "butt toothache", which has to be experienced to understand.
I can't walk fast. I don't have the ability to climb much by way of hills, but a friend's flat ground along a creek with an easy walk in provided an exciting afternoon. Sat 90 min, then stood 90 min to close the season. Saw 3 bucks and 5 yearlings. No shots and didn't them bucks PIN ME in the tree at dark--again!
Today, things are moving slow & sore, but I'm going to try to gear up for a couple days end of next week to travel to central state to see if I can negotiate the one modest hill and likely sit a makeshift ground blind or two to close the Penna season.
Thanks for the chance, Whip and thanks, guys, for all the great memories!
