I just spent a month in the woods...but I could be talked into camping. If the weather is good (for January). A quiet room with heat sounds mighty good too, to a postal worker at Christmas! I was thinking of scouting the WMA on Friday, and renting a motel room if it didn't look good to me for a tent.

If a tarheel don't mind spending time with northern kin, we will tell the sheriff not to stop you at the state line, Cleve.

Do we have more than a dozen? Do we have to contact Amelia about a group activity? (Check the WMA rules)

Camping is an option, just wait and see ot the weather, It seems to me that we have around ten/twelve, I can bring food if somone has a grill. Looking forward to it!

Hope that Chris and I will make it to either Amelia or Powhatan.Convenient that he is relatively close.The 20th is the date, right.
 Good year in the woods, anyone want some jerky?
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Well is it going to be Amelia or Powhatan?  If it's Amelia, we could meet at the range.  I've tried to call the office at Amelia 4 time on Friday and twice on Saturday...no answer and no machine.
Does anyone know if one would be better than the other for our purposes.  I'd hate to have to pass up a shot on a nice wabbit at Amelia because it's quota.   :bigsmyl:

I didn't see ANY game at Powhatan.. I can bring a grill for over a campfire, but we don't have no Weberlike thingie. I usually bring a microscopic two-burner stove for coffee and soup.

Tom, I am first in line, and my stomach started growling at the sight of the word "jerky"!

Aaron,
 I ususally stay at my nephews the night before but can give you good directions to Powhatan, not familar with Amelia but maybe Chris knows, we can discuss before hand.
 Have(or will make) jerky & will travel. Amelia sounds good but if they are close to each other why not one in the morning and the other in the the aft? The Sheetz makes a good meeting place and is good for a cup of coffee at least.
 As far as alot of arrows as someone mentioned, 1 arrow seems more than adequate. Hopefully this year will be different but the gathering is the fun part-at least for me.

There were very few rabbit at Amelia WMA when I was hunting it. That is the purpose of the draw. They are trying to get population up. The squirrels were a plenty though. I havent hunted it in a couple of years.

I haven't hunted Amelia for a while, I do see game at Powhatan, but I think that we should meet at the range at Amelia, if people want to try for Rabbits in the afternoon we can just ride over to Powhatan, they are only a few miles apart.

I have a two burner stove also.

Add one more! I just told Mockingbird about it, and he said it sounds like fun. I know that some of you think he must be my imaginary friend, except for those who have met him at Baltimore or at our local range. But he really really exists, and while he doesn't shoot his bows much, he loves hunting squirrels and starting campfires. And he is a much nicer person than I am. Mostly.
