Hi guys, I'll be in the Pittsburgh area during your hunt. I've been talking with Hackbow on another thread about bringing a 4 years old to your hunt. I am not sure how you guys run things and if the littln will hold you back or not on your hunt.

The kid's birthday is the 23rd and I am coming up there to celebrate his birthday with him and give him his first bow and arrows donated by Bill W. So what I'd like to know if there are any objections to me coming and bringing this little one with me. If you have any objections feel free to PM or Email me and there will be no hard feeling whatsoever. I would not expect you to raise your concerns in public.

I understand that weather will be a big determining factor of whether we come or not. I'd love to come alone, but I am there to spend some time with him. If we cannot make it we will just shoot in his backyard.

Thank you, Jeff S.

Jeff,
Why wouldn't you bring the little guy along? I thought that this group was trying to encourage youngns to follow along in our steps. I'm sure that he would be welcomed with open arms. Bonus being that we all get to meet you and usn's likewise. It ain't that far you know! Hope to see ya there at least for the day.

Jeff,

I'll vote for you and your son coming along. A bunch of us are staying at a house on the park property (Shawnee Lodge) and you and your son can probably do your shooting there in the afternoon, play in the park if that gets boring, and then stay for dinner and the campfire afterwards. You still have time to get a small game license so you can go hunting, and he can come along with you. I don't think anyone will write your son up for squirrel hunting without a license. A great day "with the guys" for father and son.

By all means...bring the child. What a great experience. The area is actually user friendly and not steep or treacherous in any manner. There's lots of room for him to shoot his bow there in the picnic area as well. George

Heck yes bring that little one, even if its just for the day!

If you two wanna stay at the cabin... I aint got any objections to that either.

Gotta go... Hope you and the little one can make it.

Hey Jeff,
I think that two of the twelve staying at the lodge are only going to be there on Friday night. I don't know where everyone will be sleeping; but, you're welcome to hang your hat if ya want.

I emailed his mom trying to get permision. Is there anywhere nearby to purchase a license? I'm afraid igf I get it online it won't get here in time.

Hackbow · January 13, 2005, 06:09:00 PM

Jeff,

most, if not all, stores have returned their unsold licenses. I have to go downtown next week to get my son's. I'll check and see if I can pick yours up for you, with copies of pertinent info, etc.

ks_stickbow · January 13, 2005, 08:35:00 PM

Don't sweat it.......His mom said no.....says he's to young...

Oh well, bummer....I don't have kids of my own so I have to respect her motherly decisions

Dale Hajas · January 13, 2005, 09:48:00 PM

Jeff I'll be a bit miffed if ya DONT bring the child!!!!. We'll be leaving sometime saturday, most liokely after noon. There'll be room for 2 after we leave.

Ya may try to get yer license online.

Dale Hajas · January 13, 2005, 10:21:00 PM

frankb · January 13, 2005, 10:25:00 PM

So... I was planning on taking off work that Friday.

Who else is planning on hunting there during the day and staying Friday night?

ps-it hit 69 degrees outside of my house today.... and they're calling for temps in the teens on Saturday. Gotta love it.

Snakeeater · January 14, 2005, 12:48:00 AM

I plan to be there on Friday. The time will depend on if my daughter needs to go to school that day or not.

frankb · January 14, 2005, 09:11:00 AM

Doc Nock · January 14, 2005, 09:40:00 AM

Dale,

I wondered why I'd not heard back! Is the email on your listing above your post correct?

Try emailing me, please so I can get this resolved with you. I appreciate it!!!

FrankB,

Ranger and I will roll in before Noon, Lord willin and the cricks don't rise. We have to get the cabin paid for and opened up for guys..

Then we'll be out hunting... shooting ...something

George D. Stout · January 14, 2005, 09:48:00 AM

I'll be around Friday all day and may do a little squirrel checkin' in the A.M. to see what the little gnashers are up to. I'll find you guys at the Park house sometime afternoon and have some maps for everyone. Looks like the temperatures (highs) aren't going lower than the low twenties next week, so it may not be as frigid as was first thought. I'm designing the ultimate squirrel arrow to be given to the one most deserving...and I will pick the winner 8^).
BTW, the squirrels seem to be showing no fear..we may catch them napping. Or they just may be acting cool. George

Doc Nock · January 14, 2005, 11:31:00 AM

Yeah, George.... them varmits is just waiting till we get there and then they have a bus tour set up to head to Disneyworld! :D

Anything less that a few feet of snow with 3" of ice on top will likely beat last year, from what I read! LMAO!

Can't wait to see you!

LAR43 · January 14, 2005, 11:55:00 AM

WOW!
I've been following this post since the start & was all psyched up to get there with you guys on Saturday. . . .
Then I did the mapquest thing to find out just how far it is.
Well . . . it's just short of 300 miles & 5 hours! No can do!
Guess I'll be here thinkin' of you on the 21st.
Have a great time!!!

Larry
