There are those here now that have only gotten a small taste of a story told slowly. In true Trad Gang fashion, one of those stories is about to unfold.

Over the next few weeks, member/brothers from all over the world will be converging on a rather sizeable acreage in south Texas for the annual "Texas Sweat"... a gathering of some of the most formidable bowhunters/liars on the planet.

It's international this year and that proves to be interesting. I experience enough of a language barrier just traveling from Missouri to Texas... the worst is in southwest Missouri/Oklahoma, though.    

We'll be pullin bows (and cactus spines) on Javelina and wild hogs. We'll spare no bunnies in our quest for truth (?), justice and the American way. (note to self- take phone booth for changing clothes)

The first of the good stuff will start showing up here next weekend, so keep the dial right here.

Within the next few minutes I'll be on the road south. You all be good, be careful and keep listenin.  

Charlie,

Drive careful and see ya tomorrow.

LOL

Mike

Charlie, Have a safe trip. A good time seems a given...Mac~

Have a blast Charlie and the TXS06 crew - please save some critters for us come May!   :D

Charlie, safe travels. See you in a few days in the land of thorns and stickers. Camara, arrows, bows and tall tales ready to go. More campfire memories about to be made and shared.

Wish I was goin' with ya Charlie but I'm headin for OJAM next Thursday.  Good luck and have lots of fun.

Dennis

Charlie is due here this afternoon to play with some wood bows and mess around.  I'll have him post an update on his trip so far.

Mike

Thanks Mike! You guys have a good visit. Looks like Shaun is stopping by on his way to the Sweat as well. Very cool! CK

You guys keep us up to date with any little "tid bit" ya wanna share.......I'll be waiting to hear it.

Curtis,

Yep Charlie today and Shawn on Tuesday.  Don't know how many more.  Dang now I gotta clean my shop this am so people don't think I actually work with dust up to my ankles.

LOL

Mike

With a cast of charachters like that it's bound to be a memorable trip in more ways than one.

Looking forward to reading the stories.

Ya'll have fun, stay safe, shoot straight and track diligently.  

A good sweat would be real nice bout-now.  I'm sick of winter and the fever is settin-in.

I know it's a given but have a great trip Charlie/Shaun.  Lookin forward to some good tellin.

Wing......When ya see CHUNKELS aka Charlie would you PLEASE show him where the "ON" button for his phone is  

Mike, I think Dave Stinson and Bob Morrison will be through there on Monday. Ben Moffitt and Kyle Watson on Tuesday evening. I think there will be more beside those guys too. Better keep the shop tidy. Might have a few more drop by.  

The actual hunt starts on Thursday and runs till Tuesday night. I feel certain there will be a few stories told. CK

Curtis,

If you see this, email me or call.  I'm trying to get ahold of Charlie.  He's running a bit late and I was just trying to touch base with him.

Mike

Disreguard!!  As I pushed the send button, Charlie called.  LOL

Well Charlie came and fondled every bow we have.  LOL We got a chance to sit down and talk a bit and he's off again.  Said something about headed south looking for trouble.

Good Luck bud and have fun.

Mike

He's no doubt looking for a "MEXICAN" restraunt down by Laredo      

Just talked to Kyle this afternoon and he and Moffit are headed that way soon.  I got a sneak peak at some of his handy work he's takin with him to pass out.  

Everybody at the sweat is in for a surprise.  

Charlie

 

Have fun boys, wish I was still there...
