I have a question, how can you sit pre-determined stand sites? I mean I would not want to mess up my hunting area by sitting stands  with a bad wind.  I would think it would be better to sit on the ground in a quick set-up than to hunt the wrong wind. Shawn

sound like a good time for friends to meet and get a few hours of hunting in. The ned game is not taking a deer but I think it is more in new and older friends getting together to share the hunt and fellowship.   have a great time and post photo's...
you should see how I use to shoot

Ill take the ground pal. I sure wouldnt mind a spot I could do a little roaming in without messing someone else up. Last years ridge sure was cool.

I'm good wherever but like Izzy, would prefer the ground so I can sleep and not roll out of the stand.
Shawn,

this hunt is about a gathering and the cameraderie of sharing stories and camp. Killing and seeing deer is wayyyyy second behind eating Nate's Cooking  :readit:

Ken,

So far so good. Im still trying to work out the details with work, but I should be heading up on Saturday morning. I will be working Friday for sure. I will most likely leave camp on Monday evening, but more to follow on that...

When will you go to smoke pole? Im trying to work that as well.

  :pray:   That this all comes through for me.

Charlie, I kind of knew you would say that, but the point of any hunt and even my bunny hunt is to kill something. The other stuff is the added bonus. I have thought of doing a bowhunt here at my place and I have over 63 stands available but would only want several guys as I do not want guys sitting stands with the wrong winds, it just would hurt my chances later on, for what? So I could say I got together and had fun with a bunch of guys, I can do that on a piece that is not my hunting area. I just think Ken may be sacrificing a lot for thsi hunt. Shawn
