Re: NORTHEAST SMACKDOWN III

Art checking in.

Thoughts on this year's Smackdown:

Well of course I was late again - what did you expect?

New name for NYBuck: "Mouse Roaster" grin.gif

Maybe we should be calling this the "Smack" instead of the "Smackdown"? Note to self: Stop messing up on 5yd shots!

It was great meeting new commers Ranger Clay, and Cliff - great guys to have in camp.

Thanks to Wayne for the arrows, and arrow rest (broke mine at the range on day 1), Ranger for the wine, ALL the Smackdown participants for trying to help me find my deer, and of course "Mouse Roaster", our gracious host. Jim and (I think) Dan provided us with great looking hats form Realtree and Mossy Oak respectively.

Thoughts for "Smack 2007":

Now that we know where the deer really hang out, I'm already looking forward to next year's event. Can you say "food plots in new locations"?

Thursday

I arrived at camp about 2:30. Shortly after Wayne (Nosdog) showed up and then Art (Bucknrut). After greetings and unpacking we shot the bows and Art hung his stand and went hunting for he evening. Wayne and I did some work around the camp and got ready for the busy week-end. That evening we went to the Lodge to have dinner and Wayne Picked up the bill. What a great guy, thanks Wayne !!!

Friday

Hunted in the AM and did a few more things around camp. Hung another stand. Bill showed up around 3 PM followed by Dan, Psycho, and Cliff. Shortly after Ranger showed up. Everyone did a little hunting except Bill and I. Wayne saw a doe but no shot and some turkeys were spotted. In the evening we ate sausage and peppers, venison sausage and marinated tenderloin thanks to Nosdog. Man was that good. Then we had a little fire and told stories and had a great time.

That night, everyone went out for the evening hunt. Bill and I stayed back and got things ready and I took a much needed shower. Art came back a little earlier to let us know that he had hit one. Bill and I headed out and looked with him but it got dark fast. I will let him fill you in. After that we went to dinner at the pine lake lodge.

Re: NORTHEAST SMACKDOWN III

Thanks for posting all those pictures Jim. I was a little tired when I posted yesterday and forgot to mention another newcommer, Phycho. It was great meeting you, and I'll be looking more closely for your posts Kelly. Thanks for joining us this year.

Jim, I casually mentioned the possibility of a spring get together with family members welcome. The wife says she would be interested. I have some Imperial Clover and Secret spot, 1/8 acre each that we can plant. The "lane" behind where I saw that doe would be a great location.
