That is what I am talking about!! As we get closer to the date I will compile a list of what guys are bringing ad post it, that way we will not duplicate too many things. Joe that is awesome,I am glad ya can make day two. I thought I would have more hits than this. Swampbuck, Wapiti Chaser, Meathook, Curt(Guru) Sleepyhollow where are ya, I hope ya did not party too hard last night. Some of the thing we will need are: Plstic cups, sturdy paper or plastic plates. I will have everyone throw in $5-$10 and I will get lunch meat and Dads Chili, someone can make a venison stew or I will do it, can soda, or plastic small bottles, chips, dips(Lee that is a hint!) he works for frito lay. If ya want beer, let me know if we have enough interest for saturday night I can get a 1/4 keg. Donuts and pastries. I will have condiments and such. I am gonna take the day off before the hunt and get everything ready. I will set up some 3-D targets and a gazebo and tables for the give-a-ways. I have  nice Bear Super Grizz, it is scuffed up a little but a nice shooter that I am gonna donate. make sure you guys bring your extra bows so we can all shoot them. If some one has a light Lefty, around 40#s, please bring it,Dad can carry a bow that way. I know he would love that. Nanook are ya out there? I have a self bow that was donated last year and Nanook gave it back to my Dad, it is too heavy for him. I thought we could all sign it and then donate it to the St. Jude auction or Thunder. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and hope I make it enjoyable for all. I was worried last year and it turned out awesome, with 2 days I am twice as worried, but with people like you guys and girls I know I shouldn't. I am trying to get one more spot to hunt, it is a large piece and it would give us room for all of us, I will keep everyone posted. By the way, I got a new bunny and squirrel bow. It is a Chek-Mate Firbird 56"s and 62#s at 28"s, I am shooting aluminum out of it(Never shot them before)and they ae flying nice, so Bunnies Beware!! >>>>--------->   Shawn

David, bring a venison dish. main meals are always good. Everyone will eat good. Larry, I hope ya can make it. You can bring the misses and get a hotel room near by and send her shopping!(LOL!) I shot some tonight, my arm is healing. I tore a tendon in my elbow and have to be good. I just shoot until it starts to hurt and quit. This is gonna be good, I hope we have snow, if not it will be tough. If ya got a beagle ya want to run and he is good with other dogs, they are welcome. I will be running Ben and Elma Fudd(female)!!

Shawn.. I would love to make it. At least one day, if not both. Once a list is together on the donations and what have you, I will be open to sugestion on what to bring for donation or otherwise.

Melinda and I will be there. Got a new set of chaps for X-Mass so I should be all set. Most likely make it for the weekend. Thought that bow might be a little heavy for your Pa but it was worth a try. Looking for a light lefty for my niece so if I find one I'll bring it along.

Well I am glad Mr and Mrs Nanook of the North of me are going to be there.  :)   That answers my trail breaking problem.  :D   New Chaps means you go into the thick, thorny stuff with Shawn and the dogs.  :rolleyes:   Oh where is recurver...I figured Bryan would be in here disputing the impaled rabbit theory but I believe that's how we saw it.  :thumbsup:  ..Mac~

19-20 Feb?

Count me in provisionally.  I've got something else waiting to be scheduled for around that weekend and so I'm not 100% sure whether I'm free.

I sure HOPE to be though.  I'll watch the thread and try to confirm as soon as I can.  

For those of us without NY licences, what would be the earliest/nearest place to get one?  If I can get my act together I might just nip over for a day trip and get one once I know what's what.

Shawn, I'm adding 1/2 dozen youth/women arrows, spined 30-35. I'm cutting them 28" BOP, 100 gr field pts installed. I'm leaning towards a blaze orange or bright red dip for visibility. Final count on the flu-flu's is 6. I also found 8 Cedar shafts spine 40-45#. Time permitting, I may make these up for you also. No sense having 8 shafts laying around the shop...

Shawn,Joe, If I'm able to make it I'll BEG Lisa to let me bring up her Ed Mikuta longbow 36# @ 28"  so that folks can shoot it. I had it out one day shooting it and when I came back inside I got "the look" and she said "Don't you have your own bow???" It's a real sweet shooter,and super fast to boot!!! Happy Hunting!!!   Chuck
