Spent alot of time hunting Croatan when stationed in Jville. Always got to watch for the snakes. Had to reroute my travel several times when coming up on cottenmouths, copperheads and rattlers. And always take a compass and know which direction to hit a msr, easy to get a little twisted about if you get into some of the really thick stuff.

the Croatan needs to be respected.  It is big!  and full of interesting creatures, the worst ones being the horizontal occupants. What did you do in usmc?  I was 4/10th mar out at French Creek 1977-81  Semper Fi, by the way we share identical tastes in broadheads, I shoot all of those in your avatar. the abowyer whitetail is new to me but am looking forward to cleaving a deer in half this year with one.  Killed one last year with a Silver Flame XL, what a hole!!!

My wrist is behaving some better today (so my hopes are stronger), now if it just doesn't regress on me. Gonna give it one more day before I try to draw my bow.

Take care of yourself you old warhorse!  Looks like we may get a break on the weather, calling for rain on Sat and Monday, but clear on Sunday!  Keep your fingers crossed. Joe

I wish I could make it.  It'd be great to meet some Tradgangers and find a place to stump shoot here in NC.  Unfortunately, the honey-do list is too long, so enjoy and hopefully I can catch the next one.

Hey guys, please keep me updated on the weather for that area. My research shows Sunday to be sunny and in the 70s. If that changes will someone please let me know?

Thanks.

Bud, Will do, I am a fair weather everything!  If it's rainin don't look for me.  I am keeping a close eye on it, looks to be beautiful.  Iam picking up an aerial thrower from Don Batten so we can play with that as well.  Look forwward to seeing you guys.  Been playing with front loading some of my arrows and its working really well.  Had to turn down some brass MFX hit inserts for my shafts and glue them in behind some redline inserts!! Junkyard arrows it ever there was, but they fly great at 600gr and hit hard!!

Hey guys wouldn't it be better for Bud to come down 70 and get off at the bridges and come down Madame Moores rd, instead of coming down 17 and Beaufort rd. from Pollocksville?  Probably 6 of one half dozen of another.

I want to pass through Trenton off 58. There's a family member buried in Trenton. I may stop and get a photo of the gravesite for the grandkids. I should come out at 17 and then just a short north on 17 and then a right and it should be a straight shot from there.

How many miles off 17 (down Beaufort Rd/Island Creek Rd)  until the right turn in Croatan?


EDIT:

Sorry....re-read your other post about blacktop and grvel rd...thanks.

just follow island creek road to merchants market. make a right directly after the market. follow road till you see the sign to go to boat landing in croatan on left. do you have an estimated time of arrival?maybe i can talk bernie into waiting at the market for ya, then you follow us into the croatan. ruddy
