Hey do I need a achery stamp as well as the non-res. license?

No archery license needed.  Your choice of firearm is not dictated for small game.  Just as you don't need an archery license to use a bow during firearms season, only for archery season.

Looking forward to meeting up with new and old friends on Sat. Jerky is in the dehydrator as I type, should be a good batch.

What time are people showing up?

We meet at 0-dark:30, at the Welcome sign near the Bass Pond, on the 20th.  Unless you plan on arriving on Friday and camping there.

See attached map.

I'm pretty sure this what we all agreed on, isn't it?

I'm going to bring my video camera to record our hunt so I can post it on Trad Gang for others to see.

 

Yep, that's the spot. If'n you walk down past the bass pond on foot... At the head of Squirrel trail is a camp site. Or you can just camp near the boat ramp where we park. Just make sure you're 100yrds. from the boat ramp... In addition Unless we have a permit( which we Don't) there can only be 3 tents together.... So you might want to spread out the tents alittle so nothing is said to us.        

This is starting to look good!
Well, all except the possibility of being filmed...talk about being caught in the act!    I may have to actually behave myself. Ewww.  :p  

So, Clutter, you ran by the squirrel woods? Did ya use a shotgun or a twenny-2?

Killy, Walked around with my new girlfriend. A Robertson Vision Falcon 1.. All Bacote with bambo core 50@28. Boy she's just sexy!!!.....Jealous yet?? And, she's quiet too. Unlike most women.... You'll get to meet her.
Now, all I have to do is find an arrow/point combo for her and we're set for a nice long honeymoon. Really the best recurve I've ever had hands down.

Hey old man, with your aches and pains, you know this will have to be a short fling! When your bod "hollers 'nuff", maybe she'll take a turn with me.

How long is your draw? I will bring some 2016s.

I bare shaft tested her  yesterday . A 29 inch 1916 bare arrow shaft with a 200 gr. point, at 5 yards was making a 2 inch tear to the right. I think she'll shot fine with 1916's cut to 28 inches with a 175gr point.And give me around 10 grains per lb. .... I'm drawing 27 inches and about 47lbs.

I'm going to try to be there by dawn if it ain't raining.  It's a 2 1/2 hour shot according to mapquest so I may be a tad red-eyed.  If it's raining I'm staying home.  Working on my flu-flu's.  Got some hex points in the mail Friday and I'm going to try stripping some turkey feathers.

Is someone making name tags with our "handle" and avatar?  I won't know anyone without them. LOL

You won't have any trouble knowing me and Kathy. ..... She'll be the one carrin pies under her arms ... I'll be the good looking fat guy fallowin her around.  :D

I'll be the guy with the "now how the hell do I get home from here" look on my face.

and with the smoked deer ham!

Any river cane near there?  I'd like to collect some materials for cane arrows.  I know some great places further east with head high cane but not sure about that area.

Better bring out the long johns, 70 last weekend and low 40's this one. Looking forward to this get together. Jerky is just fair, but will bring some anyway.Chris and I will be there early Sat. morn. Be careful on the road!

Yup, it'll be a little nippy in the morning.

Smoked venison ham?  

My MI freind just back-out non res license was to rich for his blood, fear not you will still be treated company of a carolina gentleman  :eek:    :rolleyes:        

I just packed up my plethora of arrows and three bows. Do I need to bring more bows? My husband just told me that he is not interested in camping in the blustery cold that he heard about.  :rolleyes:  I guess I will be suffering the rigors of a motel room.

Anybody know of one close to the squirrel woods?
I will still bring my small stove and stuff.

I have not located any firewood either, except for the overpriced junk at the grocery store.

Do a search in Midlothian VA. There should be some wood around, I will bring a hatchet and saw. See you all around 630A. It's going to to be "fresh" so bundle up warm.
