Pac,

You should shoot BGHunter a pm. He is usually there earlier than any of the rest of us. Maybe make plans to get there early and do some scouting?

so is anybody pumped about this?

[oldskool]

I'll get pumped on my way back from my bear hunt

[celticknot]

so who plans on only coming down for the mid week to weekend stay, that is my plan seeing as I will be a new daddy and will need to spend more time at home. Anyone want to wack some dove sept 1st with the boom sticks?

Quiet thread these days!

I'm limited to this hunt and a possible scouting trip before the hunt. My "better half" isn't liking all my hunting plans. I have to trim them back some or start signing papers.  

[celticknot]

Well if you sign them papers you get to hunt all you want. I'm just saying its an option. lol

[buckeye_hunter]

That's true, but then I would be so broke I couldn't afford to hunt!  

[oldskool]

it's cheaper to keeper

Irish Logan and I are going to try for Wednesday through Sunday this year! And yes we are both very pumped about going...gotta get some brown on the ground this year!

I am thinking probably end of the week if I come. Don't wanna paint myself in a corner though.

[tking308]

I'm planning on Wed to Tue but that may get stretched out even longer. I wish I could make it up to scout but it's a little far for a scouting trip.

[celticknot]

Not if you have a motorcycle and a tarp. Lol

[buckeye_hunter]

Sounds good fellas!

I wish I could stay the whole time, but can't leave the wife alone for a full week alone with the baby and a 4 tear old. I may never be forgiven if I did. Lol

[Friends call me Pac]

Got my permit and map printed out.  Now if things will just go smoothly between now and then.


Does the campground have water and facilities ie bathroom or do we need to make other arrangements?

[celticknot]

there is a out house style toilet, but there are no showers, Some prefer the baby wipes baths, I prefer a baby wipe bath in the am and in the afternoon when it is warmer I will take a shower in camp behind a vehicle or two. lol There are pump wells that I have drank from before but it is not garunteed that the handles will be there to pump water. So I usually bring 6 gallons of water in a jug.  There is a small general store a few miles from our camp site and there is also a larger town about 15-20 mins away. You can get just about anything you would ever need at the general store. we usually run into town about once every day or 2. I will not be there the whole week due to me and the wife are having a baby about a month before the hunt. I plan on being there 3-4 the the 7th-11th. I wish I could stay longer but, just can't do it this year.

Well I finally found out what is wrong with my shoulder after a year and a half. The mother of crappy news, torn rotator cuff. Woo hoo. Oh well I'm not gonna let em touch me till after turkey season.
