i was lucky enough to win your "friday arrow"and it sits right beside my other cherished JLMBH arrow--the one i shot from the LDB and killed a rabbit with 2 years ago those arrows don't leave the house-in fact i won a display plaque for arrows built and donated by brent bassi- thanks buddy --but another prize that does, is the knife that Ru so kindly donated last year--she's a pleasure to handle and own--nice work Ru!this hunt was the best !!shawn puts on quite an event!!and thanks to all the folks-family ,friends,the fire company --and of course the TG'ers--see ya next year for sure!!!

"In any Clime and Place....."

Are ya ready for your "marchin' orders" Bernie?????

Chuck...what are you doing man?

Stone Knife · February 26, 2008, 05:27:00 PM

Mike, must be you rubbed off a little of that on Joe, he has one of the arrows that you made, it came with the bow you made. It hangs on the wall in his room and he will never shoot it because he doesn't want anything to happen to it. I think it's a good idea, I know that I shouldn't risk my Killdeer arrow but, it will mean so much more to me if I can take an animal with it, then I'll hang it up for good.

woodchucker · February 26, 2008, 05:48:00 PM

What am I doin'?????

C'mon Jamie.....This 2 day Bunny Hunt is TOUGH!!!!!

(The only thing "fewer" and "prouder" than MARINES.....is "RETIRED" Marines!!!!!)

ishiwannabe · February 26, 2008, 06:00:00 PM

woodchucker · February 26, 2008, 06:08:00 PM

Bowspirit · February 26, 2008, 06:10:00 PM

Something's aweful wrong with your dancing Chuck...just can seem to make the weather work the way you want it to this year...

ishiwannabe · February 26, 2008, 06:28:00 PM

Maybe next year he should do a rain dance Chris??
Is that what you are saying?

Bowspirit · February 26, 2008, 06:36:00 PM

I believe so...

Kingstaken · February 26, 2008, 07:47:00 PM

I hear parts will have 2' of snow by tomorrow.

Chuck turn and face SE towards the Ilsand here. We haven't had a good storm yet. The sleds are getting webs...

bbassi · February 26, 2008, 08:27:00 PM

One thing I wanted to post before we wrap this up is a picture of My daughter with her new bow that she (I) was given after the raffle on Saturday night. See it seems the person who won it didn't have any kids and didn't want to give his better half any ideas. I want to thank the two people who made it happen (and I hope I get the names right, if not please forgive me), Tim Kosteczko for gifting the bow, and Bamboo for building it. Thanks guys! Emily loves her new bow. Hopefully I can bring her along one of these years.

woodchucker · February 26, 2008, 08:37:00 PM

Now THAT is Cool!!!!!

Yes Sir, My Buddy Bamboo (Mike Robin) sure does make a fine bow!!!!! Should last her a LOOOOONG time!!!!!

Kudos to all involved,Well Done My Friends.....

joe skipp · February 26, 2008, 08:59:00 PM

I'm here at work...so I'll give my closing comments:

As usual, a generous thank you to Shawn,Cindy and everyone who worked so hard to make this event a success every year.

Honestly, the group of guys that showed up this year and in years past are some of the finest bowhunters and people you would ever want to meet and spend a weekend with.

No Complaining, no bitching just guys working hard to get a few shots at some rabbits. To most guys who may never make it out west for the larger game, this IS their elk hunt or caribou hunt and they put all their energy into making this weekend enjoyable not only for themselves, sons or daughters but to EVERY OTHER HUNTER.

Thanks again...now...I'm off delivering some parts to the Mfg line...
