Commitment is like bacon & eggs; the chicken is involved, but the pig is committed....

Any negative story Ben told you about me I guarantee he was putting my name in place of his just to see how you would react. That way he doesn't paint himself into a corner. You have to watch him he's sneaky. Now all the good stories he told you about me, I know those are true.

Bretto, thanks for the info on the huntin' regs.

The disc you asked about actually came from a friend of mine who lives in Valley Falls.  It is an actual farm disc with the hole welded shut.  Mine is only modified in that it has handles welded onto it.  Chris's has a lip all the way around to make it deeper.  Either way works but the lip is a little more "tippage" friendly.  My wifes family is from Mexico and Arizona and that is where I first saw them.  They work GREAT for frying chicken wings or fish and stuff like that.

If you know any farmers or have a farm store near you, I'd check with them and keep an eye out for used ones that are being replaced.  You can probably get them for free.  Mine was.  They come in quite a few different sizes but around 2 ft give or take a couple inches seems to be a nice size.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Man we got 17 guys going including the maybees.  I'm thinking we might have to see if Chris and Mike have access to more hounds.  Either that or them bunnies are gonna surely be surounded  :thumbsup:

I just got told that I'll be covering another guys shifts for the next two weeks which means working the two weekends before the hunt...  :(  
I still should be off the 31st but you might want to drop me down to the "maybe" list...

bretto

Thanks Dave, I don't think I'll have a problem finding one.

Sure hope You can join us Paul, the more the merrier.

Actually Valley Falls was once named Grasshopper Falls. It started life as a hideout for BORDER RAIDERS (JAYHAWKERS)during the Civil War. Wish I could make it, Valley is only 9 miles from my house but I told my boys that after deer season ended they could pick what we hunted for the rest of the season and they picked turkeys so I will most likely be hunting turkeys not far from you all.

The most frightening thing you are likely to encounter in nature is yourself.

Fatman, I wish you were going.  Love to shoot that Orion.  Hows the ticker?

They just took his ticker out. Said He could have it back after deer season. That way He wouldn't feel bad when Bambi stumbled by.

I might have one for You to try out by then Brian.

twosheds

Bill, these rabbits are definitely going to be in a world of hurt.

31st of January fellas, feed the dogs, kiss the wife, call in to work, whatever you have to cause we're going to have a blast. We could get off a hell of a volley with this many archers.

Dave and I are going to take care of the food. I see that everyone doesn't mind throwing money into the kitty for breakfast. If you don't have the cash, just let me know.


I think all there is to do is just sit back and count the days. If I'm missing something that needs to be done, PLEASE let me know!!!!

Snakeskins all ready Kevin. What brace height does Your bow Like? And I assume Your shooting Your AD's out of it aren't You.

Tripper,

I sent you a basic shopping list duplicating pretty much what we had last time.

FYI.  For you Predator Camo wearers, Cabelas has two of the fleece w/windstop jackets on the clearance rack.  One XXL which fits like an XL and a Large left.  XXL 75.00 and the large 68.00.

There were three  :saywhat:  Just had to do it.

These were not in the cave, but by the camo clothes area.  Also  some cabelas wooltimate w/windstopper for 104.00

Monday bump. And it looks like the boss, at work, has scheduled me off that weekend.
Hope it stays that way...
