[Hoytme2]

Hey guys, just got back in from the woods. Saw nothing and neither did Ray. Unless you count a couple of dogs. Was hoping those dogs would push some deer to me but no luck. Did have some fresh tracks right under my stand, had to be in the last 12 hours. Was hoping to get another deer before the new year but I'll have to hope for one more before the season end. Happy New Year! Thanks for all the info about shoots doodleboy! Looking forward to hooking up soon!

[Q2XL]

oh we will hook up soon.we cant wait to do some 3d shootin with you and ITHOYTS and WICK

[Q2XL]

[Q2XL]

[Dear_Hunter]

Way to much rain to hit the woods today with my bow so I guess I will bring some more firewood in and stoke my fire and watch football.

Hey guys if we get the snow tomorrow we can get back out in the woods. :D

[Q2XL]

hey ITHOYTS you and HOYTME make it out today.was talkin to CARIBOU and will probably wait till the 3rd of JANUARY to go back out when we go down south.gonna do some other huntin till then .might give yote callin a try.

[Hoytme2]

Mornin guys, or should I say evenin. Been recovering all day so no I did not get out to the woods today. Happy New Year all. Hope everyone stayed safe last night. One more month of bowhunting. Man did this season fly by or what. Have to get out there and get me another deer so we have enough meat to get through the off season!

[OLDHAT]

All right, call me an idiot, but I posted on the "old thread". I also posted a pretty long reply on the "Indian Creek" thread, so check her out!

Oldhat

[Q2XL]

[Dear_Hunter]

Good morning Fellow hunters


Hope you all had a good christmas and a happy new years and now we all can get back to hunting. Good luck to all of you who will go out today and remember always Identify before it flies.:cool:

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Thank god this is over .Now it back to the norm here.might be able to get some hunting in now.The only bad thing about the holidays being over is back to work.:mad:

[Dear_Hunter]

Caribou Dreamer2

Just be glad that you have a good job and good health to work, some of us arent as lucky. :) And be thankful you were blessed with some children, I wish that I could all of that.



Mike

[Q2XL]

hey WICK what you up to today workin or takin it easy

[Q2XL]

well 11 months and 9 days till deer camp.man thats along time !!!

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Man that is a long time but worth the wait

[rjolenic]

I think I will have to go to a shoot every weekend just to stay sharp! I like the idea of going to the shoots at least 2 times a month somewhere nearby. Deer camp is a long way off, but it will come and go just as fast as you can blink !!!

rjo

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Heck yea thats a long time but the 3-d season starts again here soon so that will buy sometime untill camp again but still have aanother month so i will be out still.Heading out again this weekend

[Spitfire]

Goodness, that is a long way off! If we throw in some 3-D shoots and a spring turkey hunt time will fly right bye. Before ya know we will be preping for the start of bow season again. Come on Turkey Camp!!!!

[george tinkham]

You know I have always found the deer camp interesting.I like the way they set it up here.YEP its a nice camp.Oh about the buckeyes,I believe a lot of people know who they are now.

[Ohio Bill]

Have a safe and lucky 2003

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Thanks Ohio bill and george you are more than welcome in the camp anyday Nov. 2003 will be the day

[Spitfire]

I think I will go to a shoot next weekend if anyone is interested. Not real sure where yet but now that I am done hunting I am getting Foam Fever and need to start.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I'm with you on that spitfire foam ready

[george tinkham]

browns way up,go browns

[rjolenic]

Game OVER ....... STEELERS win !!!!!! Zippidie dooo dahhhh!!!!

rjo

[Spitfire]

Way to go Steelers!!!

[Q2XL]

hey ITHOYTS your 2 for 2 this weekend. CONGRATS TO THE STEELERS

[rjolenic]

2 for 2, and the last time I have a party when the Steelers are playing the Browns. I'm the host, and the Browns fans are in my face all game. I just kept saying "Cheer for your team, but not in the Face, not in the Face." Well guess who had the last laugh!!!!

I will have another party for my Steelers friends next week when we go to Tennesee to see if we can redeem ourselves against the Titans.

[Spitfire]

Go Steelers!! I cheer for anyone that beats the Clowns.

GO STEELERS BEAT THE TITANS!!!!!

[rjolenic]

Thanks there SPITFIRE! You have to have a place in your heart for the Steelers since they usually start a guy name Jerome Bettis who came from the Notre Dame Fightn Irish! RIGHT!???

How many more days until deer camp 2003 ??

[Spitfire]

You got that right! Once an Irish fan, always an Irish fan! I cheer for all their alumni regardless of what pro team they are on. Heck, I even pulled for a guy named Montana but hated the team he was on until he went to the Chiefs.

[Spitfire]

I'm not sure what the dates are for Camp yet! I have heard November then October, I really dont know. Does'nt matter to me when it is, i'm there rain, sleet, or shine!

[rjolenic]

The dates are the second wed in November through Sunday. So November it is!

rjo

[Spitfire]

Well then, November it is! I think I will also go down around Halloween to Indian Creek with Oldhat. That area sounds to good to be true. I have to see it first hand and maybe we could all hit it at a later date.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Sounds great was wondering what the official dates were now i know.Thanks

[Q2XL]

now we know when camp is forsure.

[rjolenic]

Hey Hoytme2, what are the exact dates for the cabin this year. I think I remember November 12 - November 16. Does that sound right???

rjo

[Hoytme2]

Yep, November 12-16. we will be ariving about noon on wednesday if all goes well. Hey Ray, do you have all the food arraingments lined up?......... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Eat your pork chop!

[rjolenic]

Yeah, you can just call me chef Ray ! I will do all of the cooking and I guarantee that you'll enjoy it so much, you won't want to go home to your wife's cooking, SO THERE!

rjo

[Spitfire]

If you call coming home to a meal in a box my wifes cooking then I guess I will stay at camp. If your the cook, then I guess I will be your assistant. I do the cooking in our camp for some reason.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Why because you said that your were the chef and there is to much be#$ to drink can't give up valueable time to cook.Besides you sure cook a mean butterfly chop HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM yummmy.

[Spitfire]

Ya whatever, I never said I was going to be the chef. I just know if I dont do it we will be eating cold cuts and potato chips for dinner every night. I'm not standing by anymore and watching you guys enjoy a nice cold one while I slave away over the stove. Nope, not going to do it!!!!

[Dear_Hunter]

Hey Guys

We do have another great cook Q2XL He made some Deer today that was out of this world, man it was so tender and juicy it melted in your mouth. So we have two good cooks. :p

[Spitfire]

I vote for Q2XL as ithoyt's new assistant so I can help keep guard with C.D. over the coolers. Do I here a second?

[Dear_Hunter]

I second the motion for Q2XL For Chef:D

[Spitfire]

It's a done deal then, check out the new thread I just started.

[rjolenic]

Oh boy are you guy in for a treat !!! You will never want to leave deercamp if we really are appointed at the chefs. Well Q2, there our challenge!

RJO

[Spitfire]

Make it happen fellas!! I wash my hands of the responsibility for this year. Ya know, this will mark the first Deer Camp that I have been to that myself or my dad wasn't the cook. Do you know how strange that will be. That dates back 20 years!!

[rjolenic]

Now the pressure is on for sure ! WOW, 20 years that's a lot of food going through the old system.

rjo

[Spitfire]

Yep, did my first Deer Camp when I was 10yrs. old, in Tionesta, PA. I used to love going over there with my dad. He would get up before everyone else and make breakfast. You would lie there in your tent and smell the aroma of bacon, eggs, coffee, fresh cut hash browns with onions and peppers added. Oh man was it good. For a week straight you would get better food than Bob Evans serves. I keep trying to get him to come back to camp just to be a cook but he doesn't want to.

[Dear_Hunter]

Spitfire


Wow your camps with your dad sounds like a dream to me . Just think of being awake in the tent with those smell coming in wow it sounds so good. I hope that Q2XL and Ray will have us waking up to the smells of bacon, eggs, sausage, and good strong Coffee.:p

[Spitfire]

Yea, that would be pretty nice wouldn't it. I here they are taking requests. Maybe we should request breakfast every morning before our hunt.

[Dear_Hunter]

Spitfire

That sounds like a winner vote for breakfast every morning. You know maybe we better make sure that they won't have any Green Eggs and Ham.:)

[Hoytme2]

Hey spitfire, you sound like you may be needing an assistant cooler guard while the boys are cooking dinner. I feel with my qualifications I am the man for the job. We could even talk about Tionesta PA. I was just over there for their deer opener in December!

[Dear_Hunter]

Hoytme2


You have to be 3rd degree black belt in Ti Kawn Doe or a master of the Hickory nut crunch or a Golden Glove of The Hillbilly Hammer, just to watch over the coolers at deer camp.:D

[Hoytme2]

Well I'm not sure what all that means but I'm sure I can hold my own when it comes to gyarding the life blood of deer camp!

[Dear_Hunter]

Hoytme2


You got the job. Hey how is the weather in your town, we had some blowing snow today and it was cold.:)

[Hoytme2]

Cold and windy with lots of blowing snow. Not very good hunting weather but thats ok cause I couldn't go out. Waiting for the weekend!

[OLDHAT]

What's up fellas?

So, what is the deal with the late season camp @ Zaleski?

I think I'll cruise over and "shoot the *****" with ya fellas and do some hunting. What days are ya gonna be there? How much would I owe in "dutch" for a bed at the cabin (if there is room?).

Let me know the "in's and outs" and I'll cruise on over.

I will say that with my current status of owning a company and being an engineer for another, plans are hard to make because they usually get broken...but, I'll dry my best to make it over!

Oldhat

[Spitfire]

We can always use another "Cooler Guard". We will be running low on them if Wick decides to do the barbecue chicken and dear_hunter doing dishes. Between you, C.D. & myself we should be able keep the fire stoked and the beverages cold.

[Spitfire]

C.D.2 and Q2XL arent sure yet if they are off of work yet so they will have to answer you on that.

[Q2XL]

aint got no problem with helpin ITHOYTS fixin the meals.BUT AINT GOIN TO BE NO BREAKFAST.IF YOU WANT BREAKFAST FIN FOR YOURSELVES ON THAT.he he he.!!!and far as the cooler guardin goes thats okay kitchen will have one in it too.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Do i hear breakfast every morning ahhhhh that would be heaven i vote for that pancakes and eggs mmmmmm.There aint no way i given upmy details a guard dog it will have to take a big dog to move this pit from the cooler.Beside there is only two sides to a cooler and spitfire has the other end of mine so hoytme and wick will have to watch the other one while the chef boys are doing the cooking and dear_hunter is preparing his dish water.:D
As for off from work in nov.2003 that is a promise i'm off, already have it scheduled.
I vote for steak(deer steaks that is no cow at camp) and eggs one morning.

[Spitfire]

No coolers allowed in the kitchen, we have to know that what we are eating is edible and not still kicking.
I was thinking we should get breakfast every morning. I would even bring some of my homemade breakfast sausage for everyone. Oh man is it good, it's the best sausage I have ever had. It beats any that you buy at the store!
Got ya covered C.D., I am going to be growing roots around the campfire until I here the dinner bell.

[Dear_Hunter]

Oh no Guys

Just heard that we will have a survival trainer at camp this year teaching us what kind of Roots,Berrys,Leaves,Bark,Grass,nuts and Flowers that we can eat and also worms,flies,bugs and rotting animals.. Dang I guess we wont need any cooks then. She is coming in from the University Of Notre Dame. You will never guess who invited her will you. If you missed it here it is again:)

[Spitfire]

As long as she stays when she gets here does it really matter?

[rjolenic]

Let's not start this stuff again guys ... pleeeeeeeeeease!!

rjo

[Spitfire]

Yea, dear_hunter shut up! Quit stirring up trouble.

[Q2XL]

you got to watch DEAR HUNTER hes good at stirrin up trouble:D

[rjolenic]

Alright then! I think we solve that one! What the ......!!!!?????????

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I think we need to keep this one up top so steve can remove the old deer camp boys one so we can have more space to talk.

[Spitfire]

Sounds good to me. I have'nt looked but did he remove some of those others that nobody has been on forever?

[Caribou Dreamer2]

No they are all still here but i read one time he said something about starting a new one every once in a while.

[Spitfire]

Yea I read that one too. I'll try and think of a couple to start tonight.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Make them some goooood one

[Spitfire]

I'm not going to promise anything, but i will try.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Otay will be back tonight after work have fun.hay seen anything around the stone pit lately

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Still thinking about shooting sidney if it not to cold want to go?

[Spitfire]

No, not lately but it's been a couple days since I was down that way. Do you want me to go check it tonight? I can if you are wanting to hunt it.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

If you have time and not busy.I know they usually hit that lower field pretty hard in the late season might give it a try if the report is any good.thanks

[Spitfire]

I wouldn't mind going but I dont have my target bow set-up yet. In fact I am looking at sights as we speak. I want a new one for 3-D, I am trying something new this year for competition. Do you have an Extreme sight?
I can always use the huntin bow if I have to. Lets see how cold it actually going to be.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

i have The extreme model 100 good sight ,been looking at the extreme model 200 in chrome with the dove tail mount for this year.i will have the model 100 for sale.

[Spitfire]

I don't know if I want an Extreme or a Trophy Ridge yet. I just can't decide.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

The extreme is a solid site no plastic at all all metal but alittle costly though.i like the extreme you will to i believe have you been on there web page

[Q2XL]

you dont want trophy ridge they are made out of plastic .buy an extreme good sight

[Caribou Dreamer2]

http://www.extremearchery.com/ (extremearchery)

[Spitfire]

I was also looking at a spott hogg, but not real sure about that one. Shaun's dad who shot out at the club last year has one of those Trophy Ridge sights and it is built pretty durable. I might get one of those later for hunting and the Extreme for 3-D.

[Q2XL]

good choices there spitfire .also heard the spoy hogg is a good sight

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Good choice there i will have that model 100 for sale if you are intereste,still waiting on my bow money to show up to order my new site.i will sell it to you half price.I think its john copper? i heard was a good site also.you will like the extreme site..019 pins just your size.I also like those new one by trophy ridge.

[Spitfire]

Your money is right here, if you want it you have to come get it. I am going to have the wife get me a Trophy Ridge Matrix for my B-Day. As far as the Extreme sight goes I already bought one but will buy yours also. Just let me know when it is available! Oh yea, that would be Copper John, not John Copper.

Jim Kennaw said he has one of those Copper John sights and it's a piece of you know what.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

All i see, otay what model did you buy??i guess i will have to keep mine then.Copper John well John Cooper you knew what i was talking about.

[Spitfire]

Yea, I knew what ya meant. I ended up getting the 100 but I almost got the sniper. I couldn't decide, I'll probably regret not getting the sniper. If ya want to sell your's i'll buy it from ya or put it on your hunting bow if your getting the other one for 3-D.

[Q2XL]

should have got the sniper it is the best one

[Spitfire]

Oh well, I didn't see any advantages of the one over the other. The only real difference was the sniper has a round sight window and that doesn't matter to me.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Where and how much did you find your extreme at.

[Spitfire]

I can't tell ya. All I can say is I got a pretty good deal on it. Probably not as good as you would have given me but still this one is new.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Secret A i see how you are thought maybe i could get a deal guess i will have to go to glenns

[Spitfire]

I figured ya would anyway, everybody else does for some reason.

[Spitfire]

Hey I posted some new pictures. Go check out the gallery and look up my name.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Well i thought maybe you could get one but maybe not i thought you were in business not yet A,Did not want to spread that on the net.Yea i check them out did you keep the rack.

[Spitfire]

Let me see what I can do! I didn't get mine through any of my contacts. It was through a friend that knows a guy in Michigan. In fact I am going to try and go up there next Saturday and meet him. He has a big indoor range and the whole bit. He started out of his garage like I am trying to do.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Otay good luck i hope it all works out for you then.

[Q2XL]

what time you plannin on headin over there

[Caribou Dreamer2]

All noonish

[Q2XL]

that will work for me.catch you then

[george tinkham]

hey why not use the chat line?i'm lonely over there!

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Hello all you guys sleeping here.:D

[Spitfire]

No, we are over an the other threads! Kind of like you are ya big dummy.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

This one kinda felt left out so i thought i would bring him back to life again.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

This one kinda felt left out so i thought i would bring him back to life again.

[Spitfire]

Are we repeating post's now or what?

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Well just don't want this thread to feel lonely he needed some action been awhile kinda lie a women need some action every now a then

[rjolenic]

I hink Waltrip will win this weekend ! Does that make any sense here????

rjo

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Who is waltrip and what is he going to win at archery shoot?

[Q2XL]

i dont know ask ithoyts who he is

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Hay rjo who is waltrip,He is a famous archery shooter from up your way????

[Caribou Dreamer2]

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Glad to hear you back in business.Whenthe new paint job coming now that the engine is new it needs a new camo job.

[Q2XL]

will take care of the paint job when it warms up

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Waltrip waltrip who is this waltrip guy ?????????????????????????????

[Dear_Hunter]

Waltrip is the man who won the Daytona 500 Today

[george tinkham]

i think he is a bowhunter too.

[Q2XL]

he shoots a compound too. i think it is a mathews:D

[george tinkham]

oh really,interesting,i think...

[Q2XL]

yep

[Spitfire]

All that carbon monoxide he's been breathing over the years has impaired his judgement. If he shoots a mathews its because he doesn't want to embaress a real bow company.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Thanks guys now i know who this guy is.

[Q2XL]

no problem there caribou

[Dear_Hunter]

Hey CD2

Anytime that you need help just ask we will be glad to help you :)
