Ron's right (did I just say that?
), the time at camp flies by. It's a good thing we had some cold weather, since keeping warm burned off some of the calories. I was shocked to see that I only gained 3 pounds for the week at camp.
Of course for me, loosing that 3 pounds back will make as much difference as throwing a deck chair off the Titanic.
It was good that Tim Cosgrove made it to camp in spite of his foot troubles. It just wouldn't feel the same without him or any of the gang. Ron mentioned Tim taking a deer from a pop-up ground blind. It was interesting that 3 out of the 6 deer were taken from ground blinds (2 commercial and one natural materials). In the past we've mostly been treestand sitters, but I think we'll be getting back to the ground a little more in the future. Also, wood arrows made a showing in camp again after most of us switching to carbon. As Ron mentioned though, the food was the usual top notch fare.
Thank you Ron and the Shrew Crew for the usual countless laughs and superb time. It's a special week for me (14 years now) and hard to believe that the next time is already 51 weeks away.
P.S. Congratulations to Cindy Gustofsen on shooting a dandy buck with her Super Shrew Recurve. She had been patient with this buck all fall and put it all together taking it from a ground blind during our week up there (Cindy and her husband Randy watch over the cabin for Ron during the off season).
