Thats funny Bernie. I thick I'll try that too.  

hey tim, its steve..cant wait to get there. i'm going down a day or two after you get there. dont kill'em all before i get there!

This is one I spoted crossing the road (above)and then Roger nailed him with a well placed arrow - his first traditional bow kill:

 

As Tim said, we did eat:

 

and rested:

 

Mike Conman running the little office/store:

 

I can't wieght, and man thats one big copper head. I'd be happy with one of'em. And you've seen me, I don't miss much when it comes ta eaten.      

A word to the wise - you can only kill them (that's a Rattler BTW) on one side of the street - talk to Tim about that - LOL.

Larry, that'sa  canebreak rattler, we use copperheads fer bait.
Gotta be careful , they get a lot bigger!!
Tim

Tim,I cant wait ta see one. but knowin my luck i wont get too...

Chances are real good you'll have a chance to see one.
Most of the hunt stories(pics) are on page 7, check'em out!

Treat that sweet girl nice, Larry, I met her, and talked to her a few times - she's a keeper, big time!    

If I blow it by staying down here the first of the season - I may try to get up there for a couple days later in the season.

AAAWWWW!!!! C'mon Bernie......be a sport and join us. I enjoyed your company last year, Justin still talks about the "Ol' marine"...just kiddin'.....he calls ya "Mr. Bernie".
I think he really enjoyed ye yarns and blarney!


I talked to Mike yesterday and it looks like the gates are still up ...fer now.
He wasnt sure if they would open or not this year.

Andy, Ricky , Mike , Steve, maybe Garrison.
Lot's of diversity..Andy is a carpentry contracter,Ricky is maintenence, Mike is a probation officer, Garrison is a Deputy sherriff, Steve and i are medics, Justin is a fryboy / ladies man. We gotta have a retarred mayreen.....DO YOU HEAR ME MAGGOTT!!!!

Oh, i fergot Jesse(Chester)he's a mechanic, Bobby is a truckdriver and Zack is..... hhhmmppphhh! Nobody knows what Zack does......CIA maybe. He keeps the girls busy anyway.....maybe he's a 007 Agent.

Bernie...maybe you got some of those group pics availible?

I do, Tim - but alas, they show some of those kind of bows the poor "challenged fellers" carry. You know, the ones they don't want us to post pictures of on our trad forum. Sorry. I had posted the one of the four of us with the first bunch of pics. Then I realized your young friend that came the last day I was there (and took over my campsite) was in it and was totin' one - so I had to substitute at the last minute.   :D  

Let me check and see what else I have. Here's tim, prowling the campsite at night - I'm surprised he was still awake (or me either - LOL):



Tim ready to throw himself amongst the critters - I think:



Another pick of "Snake Slayer", Rog:



Justin, "Yep, we ate...":

One of my tent and canoe, etc.:



And Tim's & Rog's, and Justin's tents/site:

Did I send you those "other" group pics, Tim? I can e-mail or PM them to you.

Yeah..that'd be cool...send them on.
If i recall..... all the tradgangers were in the front with recurves and longbows.....we were torch bearers for  those with no vision. Pioneers in a quest for the less focused.....we were fathers showing our children how to function without training wheels. A guide in the pocosin wilderness, leading those in bondage to the promised land ....onward...onward i say !!!!!!!
Does that qualify to show the pics ??????
Tim
