NC, remind your friend that now the license will be good for one year from purchase so he will be able to hunt this season and next in VA.  May be just enough incentive to get him to bite.  

I've got 30 acres of firewood I had thinned this past spring, I just won't be home before dark to be able to cut any of it.  I have some chestnut already cut that I'll bring.

Killy, you've got a plethora of arrows?  You keep them in your quiverarrium?  Have fun doing the archerification thing and keep an eye peeled for the hyperboles -- I hear they're bad this year!    :D    :wavey:

That's what I like about Killy. I can only understand half of what she says. Which means I only get half the inssaults too??? The rest just flies on away....unnoticed by me....Ignorance is bliss some times.....   :thumbsup:

I'm with you, Splutter. Why should we worry about hyperboles? They's just real big treetrunks, right? Now, a hypervole , I'd worry about THAT rat!

Nice use of the language, Spatter. Are you saying that the squirrel will need to change its drawers?

Killy, I'm kinda-maybe-sorta on your way down...  If those pies take up too much room in your truck you could drop off one or two here...  Joe would happily share a big slice of his birthday cake.    :wavey:

I made a couple of flu-flus last night.  I'm experimenting with the different designs.  I made a 3-fletch 5" full feather but that one still went about 100 yards.  I made one of the twist type and those are a pain to make and it doesn't look like it will provide enough air brakes.  I also made a 5-fletch 5" full feather but haven't tested it yet.  Going to try to whip up a few more tonight before I turn in early.

Are there picnic shelters there? or is anyone bringing a folding table for setting up the goodies on and cooking?  I'm leaving my truck at home so I can't bring one.  But I've got a load of firewood in my trunk, and a small limb of "yeller" wood in case anyone was interested in it.  I'm going to be bringing some smoked salmon and some homemade deer jerky.

Woody, I wish Birthday Joe were going with me! I bought a bigger truck just so I could fit bigger pies in it...I even have room for a little boy about what..nine years old? If he wants to "bole", we can accommodate him. If he wants to  bowl , then we can find some round rocks and stand up some kindling for him.

  :banghead:  SPLURTER!!!  READ WHAT I WRITE!!  :banghead:  
 "..but have to look for a nearby motel that takes dogs...yeah, I look THAT bad. You know of a place?"

Lotta help YOU are.  "[dntthnk]"

Looking forward to meeting you, Chuck. If you bring your truck, it comes with a built-in table at the back...
I have a small folding table that I can bring. It is VERY small. And of course, my truck has a built-in table at the back.  :bigsmyl:  

And thanks for the wood!

Well?  So how did it go?

I hope everyone made it home safe and hope you had a great time while you were there.  Any squirrels in the bag?  Any pictures to show and stories to tell?

I was a lurker on this thread because I knew I couldn't go, but now I'm at home watchin' the ice fall and wait for the good word....

I was hoping that, since everybody went home yesterday, (except Clark and me) that the stories and pics would be up here already. Do I have to start everything? Do I have to outline the story line and post all the pics? I KNOW that there were far more pics taken by others, (AND VIDEO Mr. Bingle,) but NOOooooooo. Everybody waits for ol' Killdeer to do it all.   :rolleyes:    Shall I begin with the shot I got of SlingClutter fetching something from the ground...the one I shot from the rear? Now THAT'S a frame-filler!   :scared:

I know I asked for it but that might be too much to start with....don't punish me just because I wasn't there.

Any left-over pie?...and when did you move out of Possum Squat?  Tell Throckmorton Hello for me.....

Oh thanks, Cleve! What am I, chopped liver?

Yup, Forester, there is about 1 pie's worth of leftovers. People seemed to prefer the Pokeberry Pie over the others.  :bigsmyl:

Well, I only managed 1 picture in all of the excitement and it was shortly after sunrise.

   


  I had a one hell of a good time in spite of the COLD and WIND. I never saw a squirrel but heard a few when a redtailed hawk made his presence known. I don't think he got a squirrel either    :readit:        :saywhat:    
Killdeer provided the desert and them pies were Top Shelf. It was hard to get a slice with StringCutter in the way but we all managed fair.LOL
 I'll second what Cleve said about Rob ( VaBowbender ) being a damn good shot. It was my pleasure to meet everyone    :knothead:    
  There should be some pretty good pics from the rest that went. Hope to see em soon.
