Ya they look good,and were.

We had 3 guys from Germany 1 from CA. and Joe from Wyoming.
Lot from up North, also the UP and Wisconsin. HatchA ,yes that is what that is,some forget but I try and get everyone to put a pin where they are from,pretty cool to look at later. Finely Friday,I plan on heading to the cabin this evening,still got some clean/straighten to do but about have everything back in shape. I need to take dow my deer stands,should have already done that but I always put it off till the Classic is over. I have a couple of blades to put handles on,Miss Joanie gave me my Fathers day gift early,1 dagger and 2 nice blades she bought from Jesse at our first shoot.
VerY nice and will make some fine knives.

Also got a bunch of Trukey wings to process.The one I killed and 3 more sets I think,who knows I might even get another,This is the last weekend
for Turkey so I may give them one more try. I have only been out twice so far. O ya also need to mow,that is never done.

Hope yall have a good one also .Life is good.

Sorry to here that Mike. I couldn't believe how many people were there Thursday evening. I didn't get one either. Those in the picture were for the guys at work. Next year will be different. I 'll be sure you get some. Chris, how is Arlie? Hope she's better and the water has receeded. See you guys in a few weeks.

Congratulations on the bird, Pappy. I hate to here you guy's are still cleaning up. It is starting to sound like Hurricane Season down here. Sodbuster, Butterbean told me to tell you Hi, and Pappy hope you can do that hog hunt in June.

Hey Otis, Arlie is out of the hospital and raising kane.......LOL Hey don't forget to bring the right peppers this time!!

sodbuster · « **Reply #4805 on:** May 16, 2010, 09:29:39 pm »

Hey butterbean, how is your hammer hanging? Are you going to make it to the world shoot in July -- I need some lessons.

Otis · « **Reply #4806 on:** May 16, 2010, 10:10:33 pm »

Sodbuster, are you going to make Cloverdale? If so you'll get the right ones then. Butterbean can't shoot a lick. Probably scared to even string a bow around you.

Did you get out and hunt this last weekend? I wanted to come down and give it one last shot, but had too much to do around here. Tell Arlie to stay well now and no more of those little fits of hers. David

WE are planning on coming, the flood has us in a whirlwind. I haven't had to go hunting, but I called for Case yesterday but it didn't work out, but we saw a big bird. We have fishing fever, all the boat ramps have been blocked off, we are impatiently waiting.
