This week-end coming is the St. Jude Turkey Hunt, w/young Miss Mills (the Winner). I'll be there - taking pictures, enjoying the social gathering , meeting Miss Mills (and perhaps even sitting in a blind myself a time or two). So, I'm practicing shooting sitting down as often as I can. I, and others, will be reporting on the hunt, w/pictures, if all goes well, after the week end, in a new thread.

Here, I am sitting on my folding hunting chair, looking down range at home, thinking about the upcoming "Happening", and preparing to draw my 47 # Anneewakee Addiction recurve," Brownie".


   

Here, at full draw, ready to release an arrow (and more) at my 3D Turkey Target.

Ten shots on the target - I'll take this result, especially if he was turned tail-end to me, as we'd most like them to be.

   


Looking forward to shaking a paw with you, Miss Mills    :campfire:

All most Turkey time but let me tell one more story. Marty picked me up from stand on our last night. Half way to get Mills and Michael, he got a text asking if we had Peanut (Marty's beagle) with us. We just grinned and road on. Michael said he thought he heard the hog crash but just to be Marty hooked up Peanut and off they went. I think it was sweet of Mills to shoot one and let it run a ways so Peanut could get in the action. At the same time she took into consideration, Marty's age and physical ability. She only made him chase Peanut about 50 yards and we found this.

 

Early the next morning we all said our goodbyes at the gate and they took off for a gymnastics meet in Georgia. Very Busy family. I'm hoping that I can step up and put her on a turkey this weekend. stay tuned. DB

I don't think i'll ever forget that hunt. Mill's successes- Wood's excuses- Don's miss , and Michael's appreciation.
If it was at all possible for me to be there this weekend- I would be there.
Key West is next weekend- Cory told me the best places to go and who to see. Thanks Cory, I didn't realize you had spent so much time there! I just can't find chaps in my size like you suggested.

Terry- their just riding me ya know. One of my college friends owns a home there, he and his wife love it there. 12 of us are going flats fishing, golfing and I'll be the designated driver in case of too much consumption on their part. Only see these people once in a blue moon... Plans made before turkey hunt - cant afford to do both anymore.
Key West is a beautiful place with a great history. There- that's politically correct stuff.

Yep - some more of the "Greats" - that's for sure, Terry. They entertained us so well, for so long.

Well I been piling stuff up . gonna get up and go feed my cows and stuff, a few chores to do and then I'm calling Bernie to meet me at my place and we will be on our way. Expect Cory late afternoon as well as the Beaufort Mafia. Gonna be fun. Looks like we might have some weather on Saturday but I expect a turkey in the cooler before then anyway. The pile of loot I have gotten in the mail is awesome. Makes me wish I won the hunt. This will be my last post here. More to come on a new thread soon. Took this pic while I was getting stuff together . the green cooler is mostly donated prizes to the winner.

I'm finishing packing/loading, and then waiting for  Don's call to head to his place. With all that stuff he's got stacked up now - his gear and Mills "prizes" (plus I have a couple more for her), we may nhave to take both vehicles and I'll just "follow" him - LOL. Signing off this thread now also.
