Trad Bow Hunt and Selfbow Gathering in Southern Indiana

[John Scifres]

I am pondering setting up a hunt for late October next year in Southern Indiana.  Hunt during the primetime, make bows the rest of the time.  It'll be on public land, camping in tents or campers if you got 'em.  Non res tags are $150 with each additional tag costing $24 this year.  You have a reasonable chance at a deer.  We have some big ones but you will work for them on the public land.  Small game will also be a possibility too, 5 day non res license is $31 this year.  Turkey season will also be open.  Either bow or firearm depending on how late in October we do it, $120 non-res.  Here's our  Hunting Guide  

I'm thinking a 5 day hunt will be the action.  Who would be interested?

[Jason in Bama]

[Bill Kissner]

I am interested John.

[the Ferret]

John I might be able to come over for a couple of days to help you with the bowbee. Have to see how the schedule goes. I'll be putting in for NH moose again and will be gone if I get drawn. At any rate I have an extra bow horse you are welcome to use.

[Jeff Holchin]

John, I'd be interested if the Ferret and your old buddy Hackbow were there, especially if the hunt was centered over the weekend to save vacation days.  Could be a GREAT camp.

Wow, nice response.  Hackbow says he'll come.  I have a few other guys around here that'll be able to make it also.  

I'm thinking a Friday through Wednesday kind of thing.  Somewhere in the Hoosier NF probably.  Lots of space to roam.  I know the area near Monroe Reservoir best but have hunted southwest of there a lot too in Martin and Orange Counties.  I'll scout out a spot and keep everyone in the loop.  There is a Wilderness area on Lake Monroe that is real nice.  It's called Deam Wilderness Area.   Here\\'s a link  It is nice to access some of the more remote areas by boat.  Good fishing too but that may be a bit over ambitious  

Anyhow, everyone who is interested, please send me an email at j.scifres@sbcglobal.net and I'll get a list going.

Thanks,

John
