Lets get this thread rollin' for Kenny!!!!!

What kind of gear are you guys bringing?????

I'm bringing my Mikuta longbow 53# @ 28" with a 5 arrow Selway Soft-Kote bowquiver attached.

For arrows I will be shooting my "Spirit Arrows",these belonged to my nextdoor nieghbor Lew,who made the journey Sept.7th. They are Easton "Autumn Orange" XX75s. They have been crown dipped,crested,and re-fletched by my VERY good friend Joe Skipp. They will be tipped with Lew's old green Bear Razorheads (which are still brand new BTW) I will also be bringing my backquiver full of "Fun Arrows" LOL.

Add to this my old Buck 110 lock-back knife that my lovely wife Lisa gave to me our first Christmas together 19 years ago,and my Lucky old Red&Black plaid hunting hat.

That's about it for me!!!!! What are you guys bringing?????

Looking forward to meeting you guys this saturday. My osage selfbow blew up on me just recently so I will be hunting with a Kohannah Fury 58#@26.Curly Narra riser,Red Elm core with Sapele veneer. I shoot both cedar and laminated Birch shafts with STOS 160gr. heads. I carry a Beaver quiver when I hunt with the selfbow but will be using a Cat quiver this weekend. I took this bow with me to Colorado this year and really like the way it shoots. Goodluck to everyone this weekend - see you saturday - JOHN

You should have a copy of this in your booklet.Notice the "exception" for the regular tags where it says antlered/antlerless....Not sure why it would take DEC very long to say it's good.What about your bow/muzzle antlerless permit.It comes with a supersportsmen and those are the 2 tags I have for this weekend.....Good luck!!
Shoot straight and have FUN!!
