Brian, Only need one.....   ;)

Honestly though, I have never been a "back-up" type of guy.

For 6 years in the Marines,I carried an M-16.I took care of my rifle,it took care of me.If we ran out of ammo and got over run,I grabbed it by the barrel and it became a club.

As a part time Deputy Sheriff,I carried a .357 mag. I only carried my side arm no "back-up" gun.

When I hunted the "Big Woods" in Maine and the Adirondacks,I only carried my rifle. One year I decided to carry my .44 also. I had 3 pounds of dead weight on my hip for a week. After that the only time I carried it was if it was the ONLY gun I was carrying.

I only bring one bow on a hunting trip.....the one I'm going to hunt with   :archer:
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

the dmu is 5J if you look on the map. it is a 2 bird area, hen or gobbler in the fall, there are MANY turkeys in this area, i have killed 3 long beards and 2 jakes on the shelf that Jim and Joe will be hunting. also a good chance to see a bear with this many people. i really need to expand my scouting this sunday so everyone will have enough space to relax and enjoy.

I got a new to me Mon River Venom in the mail today. Sweet shooter with those double cam limbs. Thought that if anybody wanted to try a new bow, I would bring it.

i need everyone to post if they would like to be in a tree stand or on the ground so i have a better idea of set up. also if you have a climbet that you use please bring. by any chance does anyone have a lone wolf hang on as i would like to try one out before i shell out all the $$ for one.

I'm gonna bring a climber, a blind and my ghillie, so if any one needs a climber or blind, I may just wear the ghillie.

Anyone have a feather cutter they might be willing to bring??

Good Luck you guys! All the best!
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

Ken,
 You know me. I have no interest to return to the ground anytime soon...

Nathan,
 Which wing do you need the chopper in?
