...is that there are loads of people who prowl the dark corners of the internet to find others who share their unusual passion.

They plot and plan ways to meet in out of the way places...say like the swamps and pine forests of South Carolina




That's not the worst part.....

The worst part is they often look like this.  

SCARY!!!  That picture needs to be kept from small children :-)

They obsess about their equipment, get very little sleep and sneek around trying to kill tasty animals. They're not always successful but seem to enjoy themselves....

 

There are always animals and plants that are new to them, especially if they're from the west and have never seen a fox squirrel, for example...

 

Sometimes they do get lucky...

 

...and sometimes they could use a little more luck

...but on balance, they're a pretty nice bunch of folks.

Thanks Ray, I had a blast in your secret hog hideaway. Bob, as always it's a blast to hunt with ya!

Great pics Norb! Looks like a good time was had by all.

Do I hear "Dueling Banjos" in the background???

That swamp looks scary! But can you think what is going through the minds of the critters when they see this crew moving through their woods??? They say ,it don't take much to amuse a stick shooter. Guess that's why we do it.

Looks like a good time to me.

"TradGang Ambassadors of Archery Fun"!!          

I guess I should be thankful they didn't get a good look at me before they came, or they might not have shown up, know what I mean???

Iron Bull, no one cooked this trip. We took a direct hit on the top of the camp house, so the ceilings were all messed up. We opted to eat out so it was just run of the mill stuff I'm sorry to say!

We made up for it with fun and laughs, though. And got to listen to stories of a jaguar hunt with a recurve in the Mato Grosso de sul, of Brazil, which was very cool, and drank Amarulo, a fruit-based liqueur made from what elephants love to get drunk off of when they ripen and ferment on the tree.
