After many sleepless nights and much consideration I've resolved to relinquish my tenure as head scout. Countless Red Bugs, mid 90 deg. mercury levels while the rest of the team enjoys the comfort of their a/c and sofas, well it just can't continue.   :banghead:  My new self appointed lowly position of camera man/bag toter will just have to suffice. If the malicious rhetoric  continues to spew across the team I'll simply pull a Donald and do things my way. This whole idea of submitting to anyone other than the wife is a new concept for me and I was hoping for a little understanding. I played hooky during Sensitivity 101 training so you'll have to excuse my pouting. We need strong leadership so Friday's your last chance to show significant improvement. Term limits exist within the F.R.O.G. statutes and impeachment proceedings could well be looming around the next muddy bend. Don't make up place One Eye as Croakmander in Chief!

Well, well, well, it seems I have awaken the killer instinct in at least one of the team member...and its about time!

I have waited and waited and waited for someone to step up and grow some bananas   :readit:  


These mission are extremely dangerous and we can not let the Viet Frog gain their positions back, it takes a team effort to defeat them and a team effort we will have!

Now we wait and see if Sniper will join us in regaining our swaggers   :clapper:

And oh by the way I'll bring the "Hurt Feeling" form when I come Friday night for anyone of the team members who have a complaint about my Supreme Leadership   :readit:

I have some extra "Hurt Feelings" reports at work I might go ahead and fill on out today! It's therapeudic or however you spell it. Should I expect an apology Friday night or is that beyond your Supreme capacity?

Apology??? For re-introducing the team to Supreme Leadership eh eh eh, there's no need.

What is needed is a concerted effort against these vile villians we call the Viet Frogs    :banghead:    

Now as we move on toward Friday's big showdown we can only hope 1. Sniper is on his A game and 2. New guy Deadeye is not full of hot air.

If so it could be a lonnng night

you know those new recruits… too green to be scared!    :scared:

(though maybe being green is a good thing for a F.R.O.G. hunt?!)

Deadeye I'm expecting high and lofty things from you as a probationary recruit.  Being a part of F. R. O. G is an especially high honor and not to be esteemed lightly.

Even at our worst we are better than the rest, we may have our bouts of complaints but we eventually pull together and gitrdone

i'm just hoping to add a couple scalps to the kill list. anything else (avoiding snakebite, not being eaten by a gator, not being fragged in the latrine by the other troops, having some blood left after the chiggers), i will simply consider a bonus!

Johnny @ 6'2" & 205 lbs you should not be concerned with the gators as most of them dont exceed 14'. As far as red bugs we found that a generous application of Fletch Tite Platinum to areas of concern seems to keep infestations to a minimum. Bring your Blacktail as all the ones I've ever seen were glossy show pieces I sure would like to see on with frog slime on it.

Thats great thinking there Scout on both the dog for Sniper and his wound rate and Deadeye bringing his Blacktail.

The way Sniper cripples or damages the legs on our frogs the Viet Frogs may want to establish their on Wounded Warrior chapter

i would bring the Blacktail, but it's a bit of a glossy showpiece as well. it's also a little heavy for lugging around in the swamp. i have gotten dialed in with my Maddog Prairie Predator (in frog-green Actionwood, no less! Our Supreme Leader has pics). it's a whole lot lighter and more maneuverable than my recurves.

i got out in the yard with my 10-year-old today for some stump shooting. i had the Prairie Predator and he had his Maddog Pup. we put the smack down on a water bottle (i aimed for the cap).

really looking forward to basic training tomorrow (said no recruit ever, haha!) also, 6'2" is a little generous (6'1"), and 205# is REALLLLY generous, lol. i'm couple cinder blocks north of that.

Ah what's a cinder block or two. At best water will run over into your boots before mine. Latest weather says tomorrow night will be beautiful.

Well tonight during one of our most grueling missions yet we will be going in with a new recruit Johnny "Deadeye" Kinard.

I don't normally speak of fear although I have shared of a reoccurring nightmare in the past.

But for some reason I have this gnawing in my gut... Say a prayer for our team tonight.

he's not quite as crazy as his old man yet, and we'd have to pry him away from his grandmother (no easy task!)

the Sheepeater does have static limbs. it's a short little booger, but it hits like a ton of bricks. i'll post a picture in a bit of me getting every bit i could out of it at my draw (about 28.5"). my RERs also have static limbs. the Retro is my #1 go-to bow. i really like the slim risers of the 50s style bows, and the lightness of the one-piece bows best.

ugh, the bad form… pretty high with the elbow, and you can see the downward torque i'm putting on the arrow. this was the first day i had it, and was still "getting to know it". they have a well-deserved rep for being kind of finicky, but man, do they thump an arrow?!
