It sure was one time last year, Jeff, (not opening day), and I got a Deer from the ground shortly after it stopped. Story is still in the archives somewhere I think.

Jeff
It does tend to stir'em up a bit.We'll see what happens...no need to worry just yet, either way im going.
I may have to postpone for a day or two.I dont mind a shower or two but tropical storm force winds and tents dont mix very well.(LOL)!!!

steveB. · September 05, 2007, 09:22:00 PM

hey tim are u still going down sat. with the storm coming?

STOBBER · September 05, 2007, 09:31:00 PM

So far i'm going on Friday...they havent really said for sure about the storm yet, i think it's best to just give it a day or so before making a decision.The forecasters love to "talk it up" to build media ratings.
It's good for "buisness" !
Tim

steveB. · September 05, 2007, 09:43:00 PM

lol i agree. if everything holds out ill be down sunday.

steveB. · September 05, 2007, 09:44:00 PM

according to the weather channel, winds around 15 mph, mid 80's and rain.

National Weather Service hasn't even included it on the daily update, the storm may or may not be one of our yearly events. - Here is the NWS Tropical Update webpage - NWS Service Tropical Prediction Center

Don't they love to chat up a tropical depression/storm this time each year?

And for all you who don't have the forecast for the Columbia area - NWS 7 Day forecast, Columbia NC or even Rural Washington County! - Rural Washington Co.

Have fun and do well.

Stobber is right - the media has to talk it up.

I work as a meteorologist and Bernie can attest to my forecasting "expertise" (Ha!), sooooo....don't worry about it - go huntin'!

Me? I'm working feverishly trying to get some tarpaper on my roof before the storm comes....

Take it from a professional weather wizard - get up in the mornings, walk outside, and make your decisions based on what you see each day.

ber643 · September 06, 2007, 09:20:00 AM

LOL- Gotta love those "Professional Gamblers" - sometimes known as Meterologists - and my buddy, Tom, is as good as they don't get!!!

(He and I almost drowned on one trip to Mattamuskeet - without even staying near the lake - and then again at Bath when we relocated there. :D )

Well, they are taking all precautions at Seymour Johnson. We might be moving jets to Ohio and I might not get away after all. I'll know more later today.

ber643 · September 06, 2007, 11:53:00 AM

They don't take too many chances with our "birds"!

STOBBER · September 06, 2007, 05:42:00 PM

Hey Guy's
I understand completely about job priorities...i'll be on alert with E.M.S. If they call i'll have to bail out also.

Bring it on boy's !!!!!! I AINT SKEERED!!!!!

Tom Anderson · September 06, 2007, 08:21:00 PM

Don't worry about the weather....just adapt and deal with it. (And yes, far as I'm concerned "adapting" includes getting a nice motel room with A/C)

42WLA · September 06, 2007, 08:29:00 PM

Well, my car is packed so still I plan to leave tomorrow after lunch.

STOBBER · September 06, 2007, 09:13:00 PM

Tim

STOBBER · September 06, 2007, 11:21:00 PM

Anybody else showing up tommorow ??
Looks like Me , Justin , Larry , and Dave for Friday.
I guess the early arrivals get the best spots(LOL!)
YOU SNOOZE , YOU LOOSE !
Do we need to watch out for anybody else?.

ncboman · September 07, 2007, 01:11:00 AM

I won't be there until early Sat afternoon after I reduce the morning kill here at home.

I watched the weather tonight. They have no more idea than my dog what's going to happen but want me to stay tuned for further developments. lol

You guys better have one or two in the cooler when I get there.

steveB. · September 07, 2007, 07:41:00 AM

ber643 · September 07, 2007, 07:57:00 AM

Anyone carrying a super phone thingie, lap top, tom-tom, or the such, to keep us posted on this thread or are we out of it until someone returns? (Unless of course "we" get skunked at home and run up there after a couple days - :D )

STOBBER · September 07, 2007, 08:42:00 AM
