I'm pretty sure I can! Do you fletch your own? I have a couple that the fletching has come off of (plus 5 or 6 complete), I'll throw them all in the Jeep when I pack for the hunt.

That sounds great! I don't fletch yet but I'm working up a pretty good pile of arrows that need to be redone so it's probably a good time to get started.

I tried to get Woody Blackwell to come up during your trip, but he has a scheduling conflict.

Woody is a great flint knapper...world-renowned stature- and is going to be putting on flint knapping and arrow building clinics at regular intervals for us at Hog Heaven going forward.

Wish we could have worked it out but I'm looking forward to you guys being down!

I'm really ready for this trip.  My old employer called me today, turns out the person that took my job has been embezzeling money for years and they are extremely short handed for one of their busy weekends. I decided to work for a bit.  

the good news is my new hh bow fund will start this weekend!

Rick,

Is it you, Doug, Pete Schantz, Sean, Tom Jorgensen, and Dave Bartlett? If that's where we are, I can swing one more if Don wants to go and you can work out the travel part of it.

That's my count Ray, and if you can get one more in we're good with that, but I've got 4 in my van now so we're pretty full up for the ride down.  I'll PM werewolf and let him know what's up.

Finally got my little kit packed this morning. I'm going ultra light after reading the earlier part of the thread. I think I am going to bring my little camelback for the water with this stuff tucked in it.

One knife to sharpen plus my new broadheads when they arrive Wednesday. Been hitting the javelina target pretty good out to 20. Feels like it's all coming together with about 3 weeks to go!

My new strings arrived yesterday. Shot some last night, groups shrinking and arrows flying great.

I'll start getting my kit together now, and shooting with the camelbak on to get used to that.

Can't wait for the 17th!

I can hardly wait!  I'm heading to my dad's tomorrow to test some wood arrows, and work on some arrows for my HH cheetah.

It's hard NOT to have a good time at Hog Heaven. The weekend passes much to quickly.
