Well that was fast. In the last 5 minutes I recieved enough orders to get me up to the ten I needed. I will still wait until Wednesday before I order. No problem on the sizes Magnus, just make sure you include the size requests when you send payment to make sure I get it right!


Just as a reminder, please do not discuss the money out here on PowWow. We are not allowed to sell items on this forum.  

Thanks guys,

I'll be there as well. Hope to stay a bit longer this year.

Anybody else with pics?

[magnus]

Any body interested in a blanket swap maybe?
Magnus

[Drummer@Home]

What kind of blanket are you bringing???   :D  sorry brother I couldnt help myself.

[VTer]

BTW, if anybody is going to go there before the hunt, I'd like to know if that water pump works.       Its shown on the detailed map of the campsite, so I figure it's not just decoration. I guess I could get my shower water out of the pond.

I'll probably bring my Dallas Cowboys blanket. Lol! I was wondering who was gonna jump on that one after I reread my post. That's awesome.

 I'd like to know about water as well. I'll make a few calls and see if I can find out.

I'm not sure if I will have anything to trade. I am in the process of selling everything I don't use. I need the cash to break even on hunting this season.

[Drummer@Home]

No kidding I feel your pain! I dont really have a lot to get rid of either but I'm sure I can find something. Last time we were there the well worked and people were drinking from it. I always just bring water in washed out milk jugs and sometimes use the pump for washing. Went out and shot a little tonight. I've been shooting pretty good this year but havent really had the money to go to all the 3-d shoots. It will be nice to see everyone. Kinda feel like a hermit this year.

I was at this event the first year, but we left early to hunt another location.

Counting last year?   None yet.  You could be the first.  :-D

I shot a doe the week before everyone else came down the first year. Other than that we have a miss on a good buck, a miss on a spike and a miss on a doe. Aaron passed on a small buck and I passed a VERY marginal shot on a big buck the second year.

We always see deer(and some really decent bucks), but somehow it always seems we can't close the deal. Last year guys saw some HUGE deer, but fate kept them just "that far" out of range or in brush.

I personally am going up in the trees to change that luck. I know a number of good spots that will produce and maybe a climber will help. I seriously expect to take some deer home this year, especially if more guys use climbers.

I honestly don't think we have done that bad hunting-wise out there. Given the fact that none of us previously knew the property and we have hunted almost exclusively from the ground in big woods for the last four years. Lots of close calls.

Jim, did you guys set the tents up in the parking lot? I heard the camping area was grassy.

[Drummer@Home]

Well kinda on the edge, the back of our tents are on the grass. Thats my green one in the center. Its a big flat spot that works well and we all try to cram in together. There is lots of grassy area to set up in. We kinda get the place to ourselfs as far a camping goes.

Is that Pond 43 in the picture?

[buckeye_hunter]

There are actually some sites that are better for setting up camp than the one we have been using. That being said, I don't know that there are any that are better scenery-wise.

That is pond 43 in the pic.
