Shawn,
this hunt is about a gathering and the cameraderie of sharing stories and camp. Killing and seeing deer is wayyyyy second behind eating Nate's Cooking :readit:
Post by: Zmonster on September 13, 2011, 09:30:00 AM
So far so good. Im still trying to work out the details with work, but I should be heading up on Saturday morning. I will be working Friday for sure. I will most likely leave camp on Monday evening, but more to follow on that...
When will you go to smoke pole? Im trying to work that as well.
:pray: That this all comes through for me.

Wide and far the woods extend,
Leaf-laden branches graceful bend;
The oaks, like great tents, outspread
Their verdant canopies o'erhead;
The fir, the hemlock, the pine
Their interlacing shoots entwine;
The cypress of the swampy glade
Enweaves a dark impervious shade;
The slender willows stoop to lave
Their tassels in the rushing wave;
The chestnuts cast their treasures down,
Their opening burrs, their nuts of brown;
And thick the cluster of the grape
With purple wealth the alders drape,
And on the forest kings unfold
Their draperies of green and gold.
Each river, each transparent stream,
Amid the woodland vistas gleam;
They toss with foam where rocks impede
The arrowy swiftness of their speed;
They glide with smooth, unruffled sweep
Where flow their currents dusk and deep,
And fathomless abysses hide
The sand and shells that pave the tide.
Now deep in forest glooms the deer
Bound in exultant, swift career;
They leave the covert of the glade
When earliest rosy dawns invade;
They pause to nibble the sweet grass,
In bosky dale, in mountain –pass;
They stop to drink the sparkling fount
That trickles from the rocky mount,
Or lit at noontide to repose
Where tall the fern luxuriant grows;
But when the yelpings of the hound
Athwart the sleeping shades resound,
And when the hunter’s whooping cheer
And winding horn rise near and clear,
Quick from their sheltering haunts they spring,
And fly like fleet birds on the wing.
Forest and stream! I love to trace
Your inmost depths, your watery race;
I love your dense, primeval shade,
O forest monarch! To invade.
I love, O grand, majestic Stream!
To wander where your ripples gleam,
To plunge beneath your ice-cold breast;
To seek the wild-fowl that infest
Your wooded shores; to spread the sail
In gusty breeze or howling gale;
To tale the springing trout that skim
Your face, or an abysses swim;
In storm, in calm, in shade, in shine,
My hear, my steps to thee incline.
No haunts of earth so fair I deem,
As forest-side and banks of Stream!
:campfire:

also there is a ridge where i do all my turkey hunting. i will be putting someone there this time. good deer trail, AWESOME turkey woods! Charlie can attest to that. if anyone would like to sit there just let me know, you will be the farthest away from anyone. the draw back is its a steep climb. lots of coyotes there as well.

Usually the Troops don’t want the First Sergeant sleeping in the same area as them, as it makes for sleepless nights, but in this case I’ll make an exception. I’m still making a push to leave Friday night. I don’t expect to arrive till 11ish if I do. If not, I’ll meet the group in the dark in front of Moms on Saturday morning.

any chance on getting the white house free for the campers? Can light it up with lanterns if need be. I have never seen the inside but have heard you mention about the possibility of using it in such a situation.

I'll have to see if I have anything left of the moose kielbasa, sticks and sausage that I had made by the Amish in PA. The Denton Hill crowd put a serious dent in that stash! It pretty much disappeared as fast as Jeff Springer could slice it with a "tippit" knife.
I'll do some searching in the freezer.

Tonight, remember that old Gobbler I killed on the hill? I took his last breast cut it in half and pounded it flat, made a sausage/cranberry stuffing, spread over the top and rolled into a roast. I was afraid he meat would dry too much so I covered in bacon. Roast over low heat for 1.5 hours and then basted, covered with aluminum foil and back in for another 30 minutes.
The wife liked it so it must be edible. :dunno:
Nate, how far can you stretch 2 handfuls of dried Morels? enough to accentuate a dish to feed 15 people?

Charlie - I may have something a bit better than dried morels. I now freeze my mushroom stash. As long as you are going to have them as an add-in to a dish, they work great....just dump them in frozen. I vacuum seal, then freeze morels and maitakes (hen of the woods) every year. If someone wants to try using some, let me know.....I'll bring a few packages.

I made some of those jalepinos a couple years ago. I can't eat hot stuff but I ate one but it wasn't cooked enough, I guess. My guts and farther down the digestive tract were bad for a week. Real bad LOL! Then I made some more a week later for some folks, but they had me cook them a lot longer. I tried another and it wasn't too bad.

It was a great time. Saturday night had that feeling like something was going to happen. I guess I wasn't the only one feeling it. The chipmunks were out in high numbers. was shocked not to see squirrels.
When you are a mile in and 1/2 mile from the trail thought we would play it safe and come out before it was completely dark. It wasn't a navigation issue but a safety issue with all the streams and boulders and such.

If it were about killing deer, i would go elsewhere, Many fine Trad gang members camping in Deer rich territory.
Fact of it is, There was no other place I would have rather been as there were Many Trad Gang Brothers to enjoy the company of.
Hope all went well at the Vet.
Great Pictures Ron, I forgot to smile in about all of them. :knothead: :banghead:

Thank you soooo much for putting this together. It sure was medicine for the soul.I didn't have the opportunity to thank Mom personally, so please give her a big hug for me. Im humbled by everyones generosity. Gifting was running wild at this gathering, and I benefited greatly. I can go on and on about all the stuff I received, but bottom line is, be careful admiring other peoples belongings.... They find there way home with you. I had a hard but fun time explaining it all to my wife.
Nate, The food was so awful that I gained 32lbs. :bigsmyl:
Ken, its too bad 1 animal was hurt in the making of this feature, but I still say a quiver would have been a less painful alternative. For both the cat and the wallet. I hope recovery goes well.
I will follow this thread closely as I catch up at work, and plan for the next ADK Attack. Thank you all for your contributions and fellowship. The relationships that I made at this hunt will be forged from an eternal flame of blood and steel. Thank you brothers. I look forward to our next meeting.
Casey

By the time and just about the time we got to where we wanted to be it started sprinkling and getting heavier and heavier by the minute. Just as we set up the skies opened up bad and turned into an all out downpour. My only hope was to don my GoreTex from my pack and take cover under the canopy of a beech tree.
I sat for 4 hours or so and saw and saw nothing but a yetti, or a Bow Spirit, or Domestic Death, or Aqua Man whatever you want to call him. I took pleasure counting coup on him from 20 yards, lucky I didnt have a judo with me. :D

That was quite a hike up the hill for me Saturday. It was like walking on bowling balls and softballs for gosh sakes. All in the dark, no less!!! I will have a flash light next time, that's for sure. Great fun!

I missed our turn by about 100 yards. I felt like an idiot until I hit the next old logging road, I knew where I was basically, just needed to figure out exactlty where we were on the road. I only had to go abbout 50 yards to see the swamp, and then Ken appeared through the fog.
The hunters were placed and the rain started.

What a great time.....even with the nasty wet weather.
First off.....a BIG Thanks goes out to Ken and Ken's Mom for hosting this ragtag group. You folks made us feel right at home. I can't thank you enough!
Chuck - it was great sharing the road trip with you.
It was great to see friends Ken, Charlie and Chris again and get to finally meet some other TGers including my fellow NYers Chuck, RonP, RonW, Brian, Justin, Drew and son, Casey and Izzy who are all new found friends (sorry if I left anyone out - I've got CRS), in addition to my new Canadian friend Manny and my new favorite MA chef, Nate. You folks are all great to share a camp with.
I can tell you that this group would never allow something like a bit of torrential rain ever dampen their spirits.
FOOD...let's just put it as "our larder runneth over"! I was only happy to be able to share some various moose sausage products (which gladly disappeared) and my 2011 bounty of morels and maitakes for Nate's wonderful stroganoff. Speaking of Nate....not only is he a great guy to hang around and a more-than-talented bladesmith, but this guy is a true chef!!! Thanks for all the time you spent preparing those great meals. You and Charlie also qualify as "Grill Masters". I know I came home a few pounds heavier!!! Bear backstrap, Venison backstrap, Pork loin, french toast to die for, breakfast, Charlie's poppers, hotdogs, moose and venison sausages, Brian's great baked beans, Nate's venison loin hor d oeuvres and of course, Nate's stroganoff. It was almost like a hunter's holiday weekend with all the food riches.
Thank you Charlie for the great wool coat. It will find lots of use this winter. Brian - I can't thank you enough for the great gift of your hand-made flute. My wife will force me to learn how to play it properly! A more generous gathering of folks you will never find!
The "Newfie vs cat" incident happened moments before Chuck and I hit the road...I almost dreaded hearing what that outcome would be. I hope the cat is alright. I could only imagine your Mother's reaction. Hopefully, she won't associate the cat getting injured with that hoard of hunters that took over occupation of her house!
Ken - Brother, thank you so much for hosting this hunt. I had a wonderful time. Please thank your Mother for me for sharing her house. She is a great Lady.
To the rest of the "gang" - I would share a fire anytime with each and every one of you. You are a great bunch of folks to spend time with. :thumbsup:

lat year The Cat Wrangler called in the biggest gobbler of his life but due to the fact they are friends he did not shoot and i'm sure Cookie thanks him for that. ok fast forward a year to Saterday morning. this is where the confusion begings as to thier turkey hunting system. Cookie swears that HE was the scout and would pop his head up on occasion (napping!!!) to look for the turkeys, he was then to alert The Cat Wrangler by throwing a small pebble ( large stone) at his hyead to alert him. however The Cat Wrangler swears Cookie has it all backwords and HE was on the alert for turkeys (napping) and was to wake Cookie up by tapping him on the head with a twig ( large limb) to alert him! i'm more confused as an amish electrician as to how the helll this system works but low and behold The Cat Wrangler did get off a shoot and trimmed a few feathers (AGAIN) form a hen. tyhe end story is The Cat Wrangler had to eat crow AGAIN complaments of the turkey!!!! now as to their system it reminds me of that game at the fair where ya try to bop the gophers in the head when then pop thier heads up!

Said if he wasn't slippin and slidin so much walking up the Mtn, he would have had an arrow nocked and possibly taken a shot at the bear. Chuck did say he came back "heavier by a few pounds"...can't figure that one out!

the deer was there 2, they sat there that morning, bear and deer wear that in the afternoon, i am sure its the bear that Chuck saw due to time and location.
