Title: An Adventure begins..........
Post by: Mudd on March 09, 2012, 10:10:00 AM
I will be headed out here in a bit to meet up with Americanhunter7 for a St Jude's pheasant hunt(thanks to John) at Bengis Creek Farms in Northeast Alabama.

I know there will be other tradgang members meeting us and at least one or more of them is a heroes of mine.

With John's help I will try to document this as much as possible.

Thanks to John for being a great supporter of St Judes and tradgang.... I share in the blessing all the way around as a your guest.

God bless,Mudd

Larry Surtees is coming and we all know that one of Larry's loves is bow fishing so we've been told that we will hopefully squeeze in some of that as well.

How well do you think this set up will work for sticking a few fish?

Good luck and have a fine time.

Here is a question for you.  What sort of case is that with the recurve in it?  Is it homemade, and if so, where can I get a set of plans?

Mudd you are in for the time of your life! I was just talking to Don....

You are going to meet some of the finest people ever in Tammy, Cloe(cutest red-head ever!)Don, Sky(he's my hero too), Larry, and Terry!

The hunting will be second to none as well!

If you do get a chance to bowfish as well, and conditions are good, hold on tight!!

Make sure you enjoy every second of it, and take lots of pictures for us    :clapper:

The hunt was great but meeting all of the people, and families members was tops, the best of the best.

I can't begin to tell anyone how much this hunt and these people mean to me.

I totally understand now the "why" of the folks coming back from hunts and begging off the telling of the tale... they were just exhausted... as I am now!

Tired but very happy!!

This is just the 1st of many pictures.

Thank you everyone!!

God bless,Mudd

PS:Even the dog was tired....lol

Post by: Mudd on March 13, 2012, 01:11:00 PM
The real bow shots were made by folks like Skyler Wilson, Terry Green, John Reichenbacker,Jason,Doug and Larry.

I was a novice by any comparison.

I think Skyler got at least 5.

There were several birds that got hit by more than one shooters arrow.

At least a couple of arrows were taken out by other arrows seeking out the same target...lol

Pheasants aren't easy to hit and even harder to kill.

God bless,Mudd

I made it back to Indiana...Booo!!!! I wanted to stay in Alabama. I'm not gonna type a whole lot right now, but I have to say a BIG thank you to our hosts Don, Tammy, Skyler, and of course Miss Chloe. I felt just like I was a part of their family and felt just as at home as if I was staying with my own family. So thank you for the hospitality.

I also have to give MUDD a hard time about being so modest about his shooting. I'll let him tell the story about one of the four quail that were shot. I'd say that they are STILL talking about the shot that was made on it down in Alabama.....

But like I said I'll let MUDD tell that story...

To Be Continued.....   :thumbsup:

Mudd,

It was a pleasure to finally meet you my friend.  I enjoyed the company and the escort service back.  

For those who have not yet met the man -- Mudd is it!!!  One heck of a guy!

The hunt was again a tremendous success.  I will talk about it later.  

Thanks Mudd!!!!!

Larry

Post by: Mudd on March 14, 2012, 10:06:00 AM
It's me that needs to do the thanking.

I am so blessed to have met and added John,Larry,Don,Tammy,Skyler,Chloe,Sammie, Lisa,Terry,Jason,Conan,Doug,Loyd and all the others to my list of friends.

I am looking forward to getting to tell the whole story but I need to get the pictures to do it justice.

Thanks for the kind words.

There are a few folks like Larry,John and the Wilson family that I will be in constant communication with as long as they'll have me.

I look forward to future hunts with more than a couple of you guys.

God bless,Mudd

PS: If I forgot anyone it is unintentional. Please forgive me!

Guys, Just so we don't have 2 threads going at the same time about the same hunt, lets get the rest of the stories and pix on the "St Judes Pheasant Hunt 2012" thread.

Always best to have all the stories by everyone on the same thread     :thumbsup:
