Happy New Year everyone!

As you've already heard, LBL was a little disappointing from a hunting standpoint but that's why it's called hunting and not killing I guess. The company and time in camp was good as expected. As for the food...

Don't let him fool you...Greg likes to pose for those eat'in shots....lol.

...after all this time of trying to dodge Pappy taking pictures of me eating, you finally just get wore down and take the picture and get it over with so I can eat!

Ryan and I hunted several times together and although we hunted over some decent and fresh traveling sign, we didn't have any luck spotting deer. I did enjoy spending time with Ryan riding around LBL and getting to know him better. He started the trip off on a bad note with a virus that took him a couple of days to get over.

But did finally get to feeling well enough to hunt. I didn't have any more episodes of my throat swelling, so that was good. I'm still taking medicine for it.

I ate my groundhog I killed earlier in the year...not venison, but it was pretty good.

Grant also got his pair of walking sticks finished,One for him one for his better half,he is getting to old to walk without a stick.The bow in the picture is one Gary Davis gave me at LBL last week.Very
nice bow,he told me to do what ever I wanted to with it so I gave it to Grant,it was prefect length and weight for him and a little light for me at my short draw.It's 50@28 Osage he spliced at the Classic last year.68 n-n with Diamond back skins on it.

The first picture is Curtis and his little Osage bow,then him helping finish tillering his IW and
getting to shoot it.

He is pretty good with a scraper.

Then Terry's boy ,that is a bb gun with no bb's

Supper Sat. night and my ash bow on the tiller stick and at first brace. Hope yall had a good on also.Life is good.

Maybe next year we can do a hog hunt or something

The idea's appealing -- but finding hogs between LBL and New York might be tough. I'd hate to think of you guys travelling further south.

I heard that greg ate so much that he broke 4 chairs is this true?

Pappy · « **Reply #2587 on:** January 06, 2009, 05:35:33 am »

As a matter of fact he did.He broke both of his 1 for Ryan and I don't know who else.
We finely put him on a stump.

I did take a picture of his trophies but can't find
it now.

It was only three chairs! If there was a fourth broke, someone else isn't facing up to it!

I appreciate your revealing that to the world Mr. Yazoo! I'm sure others were wanting to but were showing a little mercy. Several in camp out-weighed me, I guess my getting out of a low chair technique was bad because each of the three broke when I went to stand up and put to much pressure on the arm. I know...excuses, excuses...go ahead and laugh!

Looks like another great weekend. When I get my home built I think I may be putting on some events there. I'm definatly putting in a fire pit like Pappys!

Got to have a fire.And it was a good weekend,hope to have another just like it this one coming up.
It is the last weekend for deer season so I plan to give them one more hard effort,then back to the bow shop and start getting ready for the Classic.

Good looking bunch of kids in action. I thought those were some magnum chopsticks that Grant had being the cook and all
