many questions on what needs to be brought as far as food and such. the short answer is its taken care of, much food and drink, just bring yourselves. i have asked a few people to brings some things and we are all set. i want everyone to hunt hard, kick back and relax for a small mini vacation!

ok i do have a request on something to bring. i had been thinking about this but was not sure if everyone would mind. i will have 2 boxes, if you could bring a small item for each box it would be great. Mr. Vic is a brother to me and has helped me out understanding a lot. there is also another really special person who has greatly affected many on Tradgang, don't want to mention the name as i want it to be a suprise! though neither can make it i want them to be included in this hunt every year untill they can come. the item can be anything you want to give big or small, anything at all, maybe something you find on the hunt, maybe something you can make, dosen't matter i just want to do this for these two every year. if ya have questions as to who the other person is just pm me and i'll tell ya. is this ok with everyone?

Ihave a couple very special things that I will bring up for My Brother Vic and the other "un-named" person. (and I have a VERY good idea who it is BTW)

I'm gonna have a little trouble juggling saturday morning.I have a vacation to cover friday night untill midnight.(I'm planning on being "sick" sat and sun,then I have monday and tuesday off)

I'll probly go home friday night,pack the truck,sleep a few hours,and head up. I can find Mother Mowrey's, then if I can find my way over to the bottom of the mountain,I'll head for the top alittle after daybreak.I'll take my time hunting up the mountain and maybe I'll push something to one of you guys.I'll have a seat on my rock on the mountaintop,and Kenny will know where to find me when it's time to head down.On the way down,maybe we'll push something to one of you guys.....

I can't WAIT!!!!! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

well fellas ole Darth Curmudgeon had beaten me to the punch. it must be her sixth sense and she pulled the Jedi mind trick on us! you see, Killdeer was the other person i want to send a suprise box to so she could be part of our hunt. i get the mail today and what do i find??? yup a box of treasure and trinkets from the curmudgen herself, like she knew what we were up to and beat us to the punch! i just wanted to get this out there to show that WE had the idea first but she beat us!! great stuff for all from Killy!!!

Aram · September 18, 2008, 07:52:00 PM

Killdeer · September 18, 2008, 09:34:00 PM

Glad I finally mailed that thing off, it had sat next to the door for about a week!

Killdeer

adkmountainken · September 18, 2008, 09:38:00 PM

carefull what ya ask for Killy! i auctually offered to give it to a good friend to make knife handles but he is to scared to cut the horns!

Killdeer · September 18, 2008, 09:58:00 PM

He is magnificent as he is, where he is. You don't chop him to pieces to make knives.

I can honestly say that I have seen Kenny's mount in person. :eek:

I was up there a couple years ago with Jim Calkins (jcsnapshot) and the 3 of us took a ride to the "Adirondack Sport Shop" where it was hanging on display.I was standing 20 feet from it and I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!It was the HUGEST Buck I have ever seen!!!!! It hung on a wall with several other Big Buck mounts and it was easily twice the size of any other rack there. I look forward to being able to see it "up close and personal".....Can you say MOJO!!!!!

My Brother, I know how you feel,and I respect your feelings.....But that "Grand Old Stag" deserves to hang in a place of Honor.....and there's no better place than "Mother Mowrey's" house.

See ya SOON!!!!!
