[Ronny]

This is going to be fun

[DoubleB20]

yes it will! I'm going to make me a practice target out of those foam "floaties" for babies and then blow up a ballon to stuff in the middle then throw it up and shoot.

[Ronny]

That sounds like a good ideal

[Trad Pole]

Sounds good but scheduled too close to the Beaux and Reds trip for me...Have fun everyone

[Bisch]

COUNT ME IN - LONGBOW IN HAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just might be able to hit a bird with that bow.:hammerhead:

[Speak The Language]

Wow. It would be fun just to watch this event!

[exit110]

I want to be in Brad's group

[biggen]

Now if I can just get bountyhunter to make me some flu-flu's.

[Chunky]

Deposit sent!

[Ronny]

Deposit sent!

The stakes just went up again.

[Tomme]

My money's on Chunky, though with that big sight that Biggen has on his bow, one can never tell.

[Chunky]

Well, in a deal like this, one lucky shot and be the the difference in being on top or the bottom....so anything can happen for sure.

I will say that I know how "careful" Tomme is with his money, so if he is putting it on me that is quite a compliment....Thank You Sir!

[axisbuck24]

Deposit Sent...please confirm once received.

[DoubleB20]

Mark and Jo Ann's checks arrived today....this is going to be fun!

[Ronny]

I got to get that check in the mail.

[Chunky]

Who's coming for sure?

Do we need to post this over on TBH trad section?

[DoubleB20]

It would be great to post over there, or anywhere else for that matter. I tried out my flu-flus at my homing pigeons yesterday...man those birds are fast.

[axisbuck24]

It would be great to post over there, or anywhere else for that matter.

So only two peeps are going? Come on slackers!:D

[Texas5o]

I'm hoping to go. The wife is figuring the finances to see if we can squeeze it in or not. We'll see.

[axisbuck24]

I'm hoping to go. The wife is figuring the finances to see if we can squeeze it in or not. We'll see.

Hope you can make it Steve

[Ronny]

I'll be there. I better get a check in the mail

[Bisch]

I'm in for sure! Money is in the mail today. I did this last year at a place in CO and it is a blast. I never hit a bird out of the air (grazed a few) and am determined to get an archery pheasant on my wall.

Bisch

Bisch,
I have faith that you will connect! I think that bird is going to get the "Mark of Bisch":fencing:

I am looking forward to seeing everyone there.

[DoubleB20]

TTT - just a few days left.

[biggen]

Rns and I have booked a room here!

I know chunky is looking for somebody to share a room.

Are you staying Friday and Saturday?

[biggen]

Are you staying Friday and Saturday?


yep!!!!!!!!

[Bisch]

Just to make sure I have to schedule right....We can get there on Sat (2/5) and spend the night. then the hunt is Sun morning (2/6). Is this correct?

Bisch

[axisbuck24]

Bisch

Bisch,
I thought hunt was on Saturday?

Brian or Hunt Committee,
Please clarify the actual day of the hunt. Also, do we need hunters orange?

[DoubleB20]

Let me clarify. The hunt will begin Sat morning and will overflow to Sunday if we have too many to get it all done Saturday. As of right now we will complete it all on Saturday. Sorry for any confusion.

[Chunky]

Should we be shooting broadheads on our flu-flu's?

[Bisch]

Mark, no broadheads are allowed because they don't want the dogs to get injured. In the flyer it says to use snare-o's or judo kondors. I plan to use regular field points.

Bisch

[Bisch]

Thanks for clearing that up. I need to go up Fri then. Please verify that my deposit was received. I have not been notified of such and I sent it in on the 3rd of Jan.

Bisch

[DoubleB20]

Sorry Bisch, I do have your deposit.

I think I'll extend the deadline until Friday, Jan 14. I've only received five deposits so far. You can use credit card through LSBA Paypal too, if you need it.

[Ronny]

Mine should be there any day, it is in the mail.
Thanks Ronny

[Texas5o]

I got mine done over the phone with Dena (actually it was Bobby) 'cause I was gonna be too late to get it there by the deadline (Thank you Kanas!). It is done though so I will see everyone there. Ronny it will be good to see you again; it's been a long time.

[axisbuck24]

This is shaping up to be a great hunt.

[DoubleB20]

I've worked out a deal with the preserve owner for overnight accomodations, IF...you don't mind bringing your own cot or air mattress and sleeping bag. There is a restroom, but no shower. It's a nice clean place with a couple of couches, TV and fireplace. We'll still have to go to town for food, but you'd have to go out to eat if you were in a hotel anyway. If we want, we can bring steaks and cook on the grill... He said he'd charge $20/night per person. Please keep in mind, this is just a big room and everyone would be snoring/sleeping (and other bodily functions) in the same room. We can accomodate 10-12 folks. I think it would be fun, but I'm an old country boy. Let me know if you want to take advantage of this opportunity.

I'll be sending directions and other general information the week before the hunt. If you have questions, please feel free to call me 817.368.3337.

I'm looking forward to this!

Brian

[DoubleB20]

Ronny - received your check - finally. I think our country mail man has skipped us a few times in the last week or so...guess it's too cold for her to stick her hand out the car window.

[biggen]

Season is over for the North Zone, guess it's pheasant season now!!!!

[biggen]

Gettin better at hitting that nerf ball!!

[Ronny]

Gettin better at hitting that nerf ball!!

I'll bet $1 you can't hit them pheasants:p:p:p

[Bisch]

I'll bet $1 you can't hit them pheasants:p:p:p

I know before I went on my hunt last spring I practiced with the nerf football. I got to where I could hit it often enough to feel like I had a chance on the pheasants. Well, lets say the pheasants are probably still laughing (or would be if the two guys hunting with me had not have had shotguns).

Bisch

[biggen]

I'll bet $1 you can't hit them pheasants:p:p:p


Your on!!!!!!!!!

[Ronny]

I'll bet we laugh more than we kill birds.

[axisbuck24]

I think secret weapons are in the works from Bisch and Texas50. Looks like a good time in the making.

[biggen]

The time has come but it looks like it will be cold and possibly snowing how cool is that!!

[Texas5o]

I've never hunted anything in the snow with a bow. I always wanted to so I could follow a blood trail in the snow. I don't see this as being much of an opportunity for a blood trail, but it might make the birds a little easier to see.

[axisbuck24]

Your photographer is getting scared of the snow! Especially since it will be a late start for me on Friday.:chatterbox:

[BOBSTER]

Those pheasants will look real pretty against the white snow. Makes me wish I was going to be there even more. To many irons in the fire all the time.:(

I will get rns to carry you where ever you need to go!! :muscle:


You are one funny man Sir Brad! I will be watching the weather to check road condition before making finally decision. Rubber tires and ice do not mix

[biggen]

Well Saturday looks nice!!

[DoubleB20]

The weather is anyone's guess. I understand the apprehension from the folks towards Houston. The weather at Gainesville is basically the same both days. I have a significant conflict on Sunday that I really can't reschedule. I have the birds reserved and scheduled for pick up, the meal is ordered and waiting pickup, the hunt club has reserved fields for us, etc. I really need this to stay with Saturday. I can't get my home email from work, so please post here for comment.

Thanks!

Brian

[biggen]

Saturday is best for me!! Maybe if people want to drive up Sat. morning avoiding the weather you could start the hunt later in the day say 11:00?

[DoubleB20]

Yes we could start later on Saturday. I'd have to clear that with the guides and their dogs, but that's something that's more doable than Sunday.

[Bisch]

Me and Steve will plan on being there Fri eveneing then for the hunt on Sat.

What time on Saturday? Road conditions are not expected to clear up till Saturday afternoon in my area and I have a four plus hour drive. This is sounding more like I will not be able to attend. :(

For once, I hope the weatherman is wrong!!!

Bisch,
What time are you leaving tomorrow? PM me your phone number so that I can let you know whether to carry my bow with you.

[DoubleB20]

Let's shoot for an 11am start, Saturday.

[axisbuck24]

Have fun everyone, I am staying of the icy roads!

[BOBSTER]

It looking like Saturday is going to be a pretty day. Good luck to everyone,
Bob

[Hot4huntin]

I don't want to marry it , just get it in the books!! :)

[bountyhunter]

Good luck everyone and y'all be safe in your travels, it is nasty out there.

[biggen]

The Hunt has officially been canceled and will be rescheduled! Good move Brian!!!

[DoubleB20]

OK..everyone is wimping out on me...:rolleyes:

Just kidding, the weather has forced us to postpone the event until later. Those that have signed up, please check your calendars for the next available weekend. I'm open except for Feb 19 for now. We can probably go all the way to the end of March if necessary.

Thanks!

Brian

[axisbuck24]

The Hunt has officially been canceled and will be rescheduled! Good move Brian!!!

Glad to hear everyone is staying off the road! Agree canceling hunt and rescheduling it was the best move given the hazardous conditions.

[Trad Pole]

Brian,
I am open on the following dates:

Saturday Feb. 12th
Saturday March 12th
Saturday March 19th
Saturday March 26th

Please let me know when it is rescheduled. You might also want to post on TBH once the date has been set.

[biggen]

Feb 26th works best for me!!

[axisbuck24]

Feb 26th works best for me!!

Brad,
That is the same weekend as Beauxs and Reds. Plus some of the same LSBA members that were committed to the pheasant hunt are committed to beauxs and reds.

[Texas5o]

" I'm open except for Feb 19 for now. "
Thanks!

Brian,
Are you referring to that entire weekend or just that particular day. That's the only weekend I could do it unless it's in April. If it has to be a Saturday then I may have to catch the next one.

[Bisch]

I cannot go on 3/12 or 3/19. That is spring break and we already have family plans.

Bisch

[biggen]

Just pick a date. If someone can't go maybe they can sell or give to somebody else!!

[BOBSTER]

Sorry to hear that the hunt had to be canceled. I know everyone was looking forward to it, just mother nature at work again. Hope that it can be reset to help most out. Bob

[DoubleB20]

I could do the 20th, that's a Sunday. I also have the weekend of March 5 and 12th open. Mar 19-20 is G&G. How does everyone look for the March 5?

[Ronny]

What ever works for everyone else works for me.

[Chunky]

I could do March 5th...the only weekend that I am committed is Feb 26/27.

[Bisch]

I could do March the 5th also but just to remind everyone that is the TBH Bonanza weekend.

I think that Feb 20th is the only time Steve Shedd could make it until April.

I could do either of these.

Bisch

[Trad Pole]

March 5 would not work for me, I have a family function.


Also Open the following dates:
Saturday Feb. 12th
Saturday March 12th
Saturday March 19th
Saturday March 26th

Let me look at Feb. 20 to see if I am open. I will post up later...busy work week ahead.

[biggen]

March 5 does not work for me! I like that you are trying to meet everyone's date but that may be impossible. I suggest as before that you pick a date and then it is others responsibility to go or find a replacement!!

[Texas5o]

March 5th I'm out...have to work 6th Street for the Mardi Gras celebration. It's tough standing there all night watching all those drunk women flashing everybody for some beads (and I'm getting paid, too).
Y'all do what works best for everyone and I'll make it if I can and try to catch the next one if I can't.

[DoubleB20]

Sorry I've been MIA, they are making me actually work at work, aren't they rude? The weather has had my home ISP up and down. Let's do March 5th, who can come? I'll try and send email to everyone too. The Pres, Dena, said if you can't make it then you could either sell your deposit to someone else or trade it for future hunt.

Who's in for March 5th? We can stay at the ranch for $25 a night. Please let me know who can hunt and who wants to bring their cot and stay at the ranch.

[DoubleB20]

Also, if anyone wants to join that didn't before, just let me know, send your deposit. I will pick up the birds on March 4 - so I need to know by March 1.

[Texas5o]

If someone new is planning on going, I'll sell my deposit to them 'cause I can't go on the 5th.

[axisbuck24]

Someone please take lots of pictures, I will not be able to makethe rescheduled March 5th date.

[Chunky]

I will make March 5th. I think I will get a room and not stay in the bunk house if that is cool.

[DoubleB20]

Ok, so I have Bisch, Ronnie, Mark and maybe Buff. Anyone else?

[biggen]

I have a replacement and his son!! The deposit for the son will be there shortly!!
Brad
