Was thinking about her just today.  Figure she's out in the boonies miles from civilization.  Heck she might just decide to stay out there.  Wouldn't blame her   ...Van

[Charlie Lamb]

I hope she's deep in the woods soaking up some good ole outdoor revitalization... it's a good thing to have happy postal workers.  :D  

I'm puttin out some good vibes for her hunt.

Since I hadn't seen or heard any mention of it from her or Clark, I had about decided her job had her pegged down this year - so I didn't want to bring up the subject. I hope y'all are right and she is out there enjoying.

[vermonster13]

I hope she is out being one with the wild too.

[adkmountainken]

i hope she is having fun but if i were to guess, her job is just like mine, this time of year ya don't have time for nothing, unless she is on vacation!

[Littlefeather]

I hope she stabs something sharp in something really big. Maybe that would get her chatting a bit more!  :D   Aw heck, I just hope she's having a great time in the woods! CK

I hope she is out in the woods having fun.

She posted somewhere that it was time for her to go into the wilds of VA.  Can't remember which thread.  Hmmm, I wonder if she's hunting near me?  Anyone know what section she hunts?  If it's around here she's due for some serious rain tonight and tomorrow.   :(

[ber643]

I'm pretty sure she goes very close to the WV state line, in the mountains, every year, and stays for a couple weeks. Clark usually trys to join her at least on the weekends, and sometimes for the second week.

[Talondale]

Bernie, north or south?  I'm not too far from WV.  I drive there often for work.  Some rough country but big deer.

[Dano]

Still wonderin


  :confused:    

[JEFF B]

you got us worried killie  where are you come out come out where ever you are its not funny any more. lol!!!  :confused:    :confused:        

[ber643]

I'm not sure, but seems like she indicated it was close to the area where ATAR is held (Beckly, WV)but in VA. She never communicates while she is out there except through Clark - he usually comes on and posts during her vacation. Don't know why it is different this year, unless Clark is all tied up with work.

[Killdeer]

Nope. Not funny anymore...now that I am back. I woulda stayed out, 'cept I gotta make money to support the new truck. Sometimes I think we are just support systems for our vehicles!

I hunted Botetourt one afternoon on the 24th, when I visited Motormouth at his grandparents' farm. What a beautiful expanse of country, a warm day, wonderful people and a hunt, to boot!

I hunt Highland County, in the GW Nat'l Forest for three weeks in November. This was my twenty-first season doing so. I went up and erected camp on the 5th, and returned yesterday. The first week is dedicated to bowhunting, the second week muzzleloader season starts. The third week is the start of rifle season.

This year, for various reasons, I killed no earthly thing but Time, and I think I hit a small owl on the way home, a screech or a saw whet owl who thought too long in the middle of my lane in the dark. Bummer. I hate killing things I don't mean to.

My camera was acting dead for much of the time that I was up there, I was disorganized from the outset, and I got sick halfway through the trip. In short, I wish I were still out there, as it sure as heck beats working!        

Oh, and I saw HIM. OK, I admit it, antlers are exciting.

It was during the first week, I will have to get my journal out...no I won't, it was Thursday the ninth of November when I saw the Golden Boy of the ridge I like to hunt. The ridge is a horseshoe, with a steepish bowl in the center. It is primarily hardwoods, with a bedding area on one side consisting of red pines and red spruce that stop at the bowl, and another of laurel on the other side, inside the bowl. The edge of the laurel, where it meets the hardwoods in the bowl and about 80 yards from the topline is where three cherry trees fell in a clump. I call the rootball's pit the Pawnshop. It is fortuitously located at the end of a laurel-shrouded 'chute' that makes an escape trail through the hardwoods from the topline of the ridge into the laurel bedding area. deer come at any pace but a walk down this, pause to check the wind, and then enter the bedding area. The scene is set.        

Killdeer~where is my journal? What is on my camera's memory card that I can offer up? Gad! Look at the mess in this house!

[Aeronut]

Dang Killy!  I look foreward to seeing your pictures.  Hope you got a few before your camera died.  Waiting for a good story too.

[knife river]

Glad you're back safe and sound, Killie.  Now where's the rest of the story????        

[the Ferret]

ALRIGHT KILLY'S BACK
