weekend Tradganger hunt Oct 4 and 5

[Stone Knife]

Joe and I tested broadheads in his new setup last night, turns out that my 5/16 hill arrows cut to 28" BOP topped off with a 2 blade black diamond, fly like darts out of that thing. We even worked on shooting through mesh while sitting on a stool, were going to keep up the practice sessions so when the moment of truth arrives for Joe it will be old hat

The fella next door to me thinks I've got a screw lose. He watches me shoot in the yard all twisted around, through and under the bushes. But you guys know what it's all about. Don't Ya?

[Izzy]

[horatio1226]

You comin' Izzy?

[adkmountainken]

did you ever get that feeling when you knew something special was going to happen. like when its just getting light and you know there is a boss gobbler getting ready to sound off, your heart starts pounding and just then he lets rip GOBBBLLLLEEE GOOOOBLLLLEEE GOOOOBLLLEEE!! like when you have the perfect drift on a size 18 elk hair caddis and he can feel the strike coming before it happens and as you sense this you see the big rainbow slurp the fly down!!! well let me tell ya I FEEL IT, something BIG is going to happen. i say this becouse i have never saw the conditions more right on the mountain. beech nuts flooding the ledges, wild cheeries like i have never saw them before and a good mount of acorns. i can feel it man!

[Izzy]

[ishiwannabe]

We certainly do Mike, when the moment comes your going to be the one that is ready to make the impossible shot    

[mcgroundstalker]

Hey Ken, are we gonna have a place to "play" with our bows before, during and/or after hunting? I gotta practizzze shootin' around corners.   :p  

... mike ...

PS ... Chuck can pick on me all he wants to cause he'll always beat me to the Star Vation Army and buy out all the wool sweaters in my size.  :rolleyes:

[woodchucker]

Yeah,Yeah..... Incredible Shots..... Blah,Blah,Blah.....

But can he DANCE??????????  

[adkmountainken]

i need a little in put fellas. i was thinking about getting in the woods early saterday morning and sitting untill 1 or 2. planned on taking the afternoon hunt off so we could all relax, eat a lot, shoot or bows and shoot the bull. planned on doing the same Sunday and not hunting the afternoon. what would you all rather do, go with this idea or make a shorter saterday morning hunt and hunt the afternoon as well? a sunday afternoon hunt is not possible for me so we will definitly be sitting untill 1 or 2 that day. what do ya say?

[Toecutter]

Whatever you think is best Ken.  My only plan is to stretch the strings (fast flight and hamstring that is    ), spin a few tales, have a few adult beverages, and serve some grub to some real ugly mugs.  What order it happens in is of no consequence to me.

If pressed, I may have a thought or two(when the stars align just right)on the subject, but I'll wait and see what the group says.

Very soon,
Nathan

[Bowspirit]

I'm up for spending the afternoon shootin' bull and catching up with some old friends...

[mcgroundstalker]

Got yourself a great idea Ken! It would be nice to hunt early and kinda take the late day off. This way we could spend some time shootin' the breeze, and relaxin'.
