I added a serving and some finger protectors on Marget Ann's bow, much easier for a kid than dealing with a glove or tab when they are young. ;)Then Saturday morning Conner got his Turkey, he was a happy lad. :) While we took what was left of the turkey to my bone pile I collected a bunch of deer bones for future projects.I love that bone pile. ;) :) :) Annie wasn't sure what to think about the dead Turkey.  :)

I softened the blade BigA gifted me and got it cut and shaped  to the rough shape of what I want. My girls just resting and staying out of the rain. Got my 2 bows ready to finish final tiller next time i get the chance, it was awful damp out so I decided to give them a break for a few day in the dry. :) :)

We had a great time regardless of the weather.  Always fun to be at Twin Oaks.  Connor was a happy camper.  He enjoys coming there about as much as I do.  Thanks for letting him hunt and putting up with me Pappy.  Looking forward to then next trip down.
Hello Pat.  :D  I don't post much but I do get on here to see what's going on.  Hopefully we'll get time to talk and hang out at the Classic.

I'm sure we will, Dave. Congrats to Connor for his twofer.
 Pappy, I hope Mother Nature is getting all this rain and bad weather out of the way in time for the Classic. And to paraphrase Dave "great time regardless of the weather.  :OK

Good job on the Gobblers Young Man! Hawthorn makes a pretty darn good Bow Pappy, haven't heard about it in Years. Thanks for sharing.  (=) Bob.

You are welcome Dave, really enjoyed it. Ya Pat hope it dose but as always we will just carry on either way. ;) Thanks Bob, it seems really springy and think it will work out, very light kind of like Yew. I had it at about 40@26 and wanted a little more weight if possible so heat treated and flipped the tips, hope that will pick it up a few pounds, we will see in a few days after it rest for a while. :-\ :)

Congratulations again, Mustardhead! Two sweet birds. Pappy, Doug left here yesterday. He got a nice 19# Tom here after chasing him for two days. I've got another friend coming down Wednesday from Canada to do some hunting before Doug comes back to get me and we head up to see you. We're getting the rain here now, hope it quits soon.

Ya Eddie he done good and a fine young man to boot. :) Dave is coming back tomorrow and also John and Bo from AR. to hunt a few days, looks like the weather will be a little better so they should do good. I will probably go out opening morning myself for a short hunt just not sure yet, :-\ got a lot of other things on my mind right now. ??? It will be good fun either way just getting to hang out with them. :)

Heading down this morning to try and get a few more things knocked out, was planning on Turkey hunting in the morning and still may for a short hunt, we have a working tomorrow and are in the middle of setting the ranges for the Classic so it is a big job and I will probably put off the hunt and help with that. Love to hunt but this time of year I have a 1 track mind. ;) :) :) Got Dave /John and Bo coming in to hunt so may just let them have them nasty Turkey. :) Hope yall have a good one. Life is Good. :)

I will do that Pat and thanks. Had a great weekend, I decided to work around the club and not hunt but my buddies hunted and had a great hunt.I did take a little while and get the scales fitted to my new blade, ready to clean up the blade, heat treat and temper. Dave got the job done first thing Saturday morning,It was a jake but a nice one. :)

First donation for the raffle table, from Bo my buddy from AR. I spent the day getting signs up and cleaning up, we also worked on the ranges and target bail area.
