Okay guys, 3 of us are coming for our first hunt. Me, my 15 year old son, Ben and my apprentice and friend EJ. We need help putting a list together of the things that we should bring for the hunt. What kind of snacks for inside the blind,etc.,the things that we aren't going to think of. Thanks

Ken, I was thinking of hunting the morning, maybe till 11, then coming out and doing some cooking till everyone gets out of the woods.  Figure we can all eat,shoot the bow/bull, after that, I was thinking of heading out again to hunt the evening.  Sounds like Shawn and maybe a few others might be amicable to the Idea.  If that works, let me know.

Drew, congrats on the camper!!  If you still have room, I'd like to sleep outside again.

Nate,
     sounds good. i'm sure a few more will want to hunt the evening. i think the evening is auctually a better hunt but i love the mornings! i still have to show you a good place for a float hunt and i believe i have a great spot.

I like the idea of both morning and afternoon hunts with the BS session in between   :campfire:    :jumper:

Thanks Ken, but the way things are shaping up, I'm not sure If I'm gonna be able to find time to fit it in this year.  I will bend your ear on the subject during the "BS" portion of our hunt.   :D

i wish i had taken a picture of the rub that Bowspirit and i found saterday. it was a BIG rub and you could see where antler hit the back side of the tree indicating a racked buck, it had just been made that morning, you could still smell the shavings!
 I had planned on hunting Saterday morning but now calling for HEAVY rain so going to the tattoist instead to get FOREVER WILD down my spine!

Is that rub anywhere near where my blind is going to be? I'm thinking maybe I should start out small... nahhh!

Met Adirondackman today. He stopped to pick up my blinds. Ken is nice enough to set them up early for us. A couple of great guys. I couldn't ask for a better first hunt. It's already a success and I don't even have the truck loaded yet! Thanks guys!  :campfire:    :archer:    :archer:

Brian - glad to meet you and enjoyed talking with you about the hunting trip. Ken has you set up in a good spot. We found that racked deer skull there. It will be a great first hunt. Good friends, good food and a good hunting spot.
