Congrats on a fine hunt guys. You fellas are livin' large.    

[the Ferret]

Wow long time since I've had a report..lessee Wed afternoon both Charlie and Vance had opportunities at bucks. Charlie chose not to shoot, Vance couldn't. Yance had the really nice 8 point at under 20 yards on the ground in his ghillie suit. This morning Vance slept in Charlie had a chance to shoot a couple small bucks and again passed them up.Chad slept in.

I got up to hunt with them one last time tonight. I had a chance to shoot a small buck and passed (Counted coup on him twice at 15 yards..he was there for 25 mins). Charlie saw a buck out looking for some romance long distance. Vance saw zippo.Chad saw zip.

We all went out to dinner at Gold Star (Cinti Chili) which they both loved.

 

Tomorrow morning is it people. Last hunt for the boys. After that Charlie is headed for Columbus to meet up with an old Viet Nam buddy and Vance is headed to North Carolina to see his daughter.

Thanks for the update Ferret, was wondering how things were going. Pretty cool Vance being that close on the ground.

[the Ferret]

Funny you should post on this thread Roughcountry as your name came up in conversation tonight while we were standing there in the dark after the hunt....It was all good.

[BamBooBender]

You boys are havin way to much fun.      
Thanks for takin us along.

[Guru]

What a great group....I've met two...I'd sure like to meet the other two!!!

 Thanks Mickey...

[Littlefeather]

Hard not to smile at that pic Micky! Good to see ya representing for the short guys! CK

[the Ferret]

LOL Curtis if you look down between Vances legs you can see a board used for edging. I'm actually standing on that, otherwise I'd look really short!!!!  

[AZStickman]

Great thread guys......Is that the same as Skyline Chili Mickey?...... We get the youngest daughter to send us back packets of it a couple time a year...... Good stuff...... Terry

[the Ferret]

Terry yea there are 3 different versions of Cinti Chili..basically all the same stuff. Gold Star, Skyline and Empress. The Gold Star restaurant just happened to be the closest to Chads. Here at home we eat one of the three at least once a week. Yes very good stuff.

You should get her to send you the cans, pour into pan, heat, pour it on the spaghetti and eat! LOL

Charlie had Chili, spaghetti and beans (called a 3 way bean..no cheese)
Vance had Chili spaghetti onions and cheese (called a 4 way onion)..plus he put hot sauce on his
I had chili, spaghetti and cheese (called a 3 way)
and of course we all had "coneys"...a small hot dog on a bun with chili sauce, mustard and cheese (plus onions if you want) .Vance and Charlie both had seconds on the coneys.

These are foods Cinti is famous for. That plus Hot Metts (HDFH), Graeters Ice Cream and White Castle hamburgers. Everyone that comes here to hunt HAS to eat some of these items.

Mickey,

My wife graduated from the University of Cinci. We now live in CA but have family send us cans of Skyline. You're last post is making me hungry.

[Jeff Holchin]

As a vetern of much Skyline and Gold Star fine dining (I prefer the 4 way with onion and hot souce), I bet the drive back to camp was odiferous........

[Rich LaBombard]

I'm depressed for the following reasons:
None of my freinds hunt.
None of my freinds look cool in camo.
None of my freinds know what a ghillie suit is.
(it just occurred to me: time for new freinds)

Man, I'd sure love to hang out and eat chili with these guys1

[rabbitman]

I knew I should have gotten back down to Chad's for the Thursday hunt....but had a list of honey do things to take care of.  Just to make myself feel better, think I'll head over to Skyline for lunch.  Hope Charlie and Vance have some luck today.  Thanks for the updates Mickey.

[the Ferret]

Dick you should have come over last night... I bought!LOL

Last report: The boys will be eating Tag Soup

Charlie saw nothing this morning, Vance saw 3 or 4 including a small buck, but no shots.

They are gone now headewd toward more adventures someplace.

[IB]

WOW****UNDERLINE WOW!!!          

Done some pretty wild things over the years but standing on a postage stamp 500 ft up a tree was more of a FEAR FACTOR than I was ready for.

Then when Chad and Charlie showed and told me about the sewing on the teather slowin yer fall down, like I was to expect that to happen. I wanted NO PART of that EVENT!!

Least on a Equine ya can get holt of something.

Charlie is off on a Birthday Party (Semper Fi  Marines)    

Chad beat ya!!! THANKS TONS Bro. and I'll be back if you'll be for having me again      

Mickey and Dick you two were the iceing on the cake, plus ya know the best place fer VITTLES

I don't know where to start! What an awesome week. I got to spend alot of time with some good friends and was lucky enough to shoot a decent buck. It was great having everyone there to help trail the buck and made the experience that much sweeter.

It was great having Charlie and Vance in camp. After seeing all of the pics Vance brought of Wyoming, I'm gonna try to get him to adopt me. At least during hunting season! The guys seemed to have a good time and i have no doubts that they would have taken home some meat if they would have just had a better guide.

Vance, I'm glad to see you made the trip safely. Your more than welcome anytime you want to come back!

I'll wait till the guys get started good with their story telling and i'll jump in with them. This hunt is one i will remember for a long time.

Thanks to everyone for all of the kind words. I ain't a very good hunter or a very good shot but i do get lucky every now and then!  :D

[cjones]

Here is a daytime pic for ya!

 

[cjones]

This where we spent most of our time.
 

Curt, While it may not be the same group of guys, you are welcome at that table anytime!

Here is a pic from the first evening of me and my big buddy, Dick.
