3rd Annual Moon Tree Gathering

[hedgeapple]

I thought I'd better make this official.

March 20, 21 and 22, 2015 at Moon Tree Farm, Richmond, KY

This is a small gathering as bowyer events are concerned, but it's been a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it again this year.

Activities include bow building, arrow making, knapping and 3D course.  And a lot of bull being spread around.

Dinners Friday and Saturday evening will be:
Smoke Wild boar one evening and Venison Chili the other.
Side items are appreciated.
RSVP will help a lot in the food preparation, like there's ever been a shortage of food.  haha

Camping can be set up in the yard with drop cords for electricity.  Some housing is available.

I look forward to seeing the founding members and meeting new folks.

Count me in!!  I can bring a deer hind quarter if that will help out, or I will have the Warden to make some desserts.    Can I crash in the house again?

[osage outlaw]

I'll be there for sure.  I can bring something for the dinners.  I might get the wife to make something for me to bring.  Thanks for hosting this Dave.  I always have a great time at the Moontree farm.  I wouldn't mind crashing in the cottage if there is room.  I can bring an air mattress and sleep on the floor if need be.

Dave, any chance of another pizza oven?  That was delicious. 

[PEARL DRUMS]

You and your pizza......big bad Bill had to make you a Totino's in Marshall.

[osage outlaw]

It was a Jack's pizza Mr. Drums.  Get your facts right     And Bill can make a great pizza over charcoals. I might have to think of another challenge for him.

I'm thinking about a Cornish game hen over charcoals sounds tasty

After that episode at Moontree 1, I'm surprised you go near chicken!   Glutton for punishment?

I'm glad to see so many of the Founding Fathers of the Moon Tree Gathering have already committed to the event.

I do have one goal for this event and that is to spend more time in the bow shop than I do cooking.  So let's keep meals simple this year.  Clint I love doing the wood oven pizzas, but it was real time consuming last year with the wind and rain.  I started the fire at 10:30; the last pizza came out of the oven at 4:30.  If by some chance I get my "new design" oven built by then we'll do pizzas.

Greg, are you thinking of smoking the venison hind quarter?  I could set up the smoker in front of the workshop so it would be easier to monitor the flame and temperature while still socializing in the workshop.

I shot a wild boar last a couple weeks ago with my Ruger Blackhawk.  I was thinking some BBQ pork chops would make a good entre one evening.

Last year there were some requests for clay pigeon shooting for this year's firearm portion of the event.  Are we wanting to plan that this year?

Greg and Clint, your indoor reservations are booked.

Pearly, are you going to make down this year?  It would be great having here.

[osage outlaw]

No worries on the pizza oven Dave.  We can eat fast and easy this year.  I would be interested in some clay pigeon shooting.  Do you still have the mountain man beard?  I thought PatB was there when I pulled up last year.

[hedgeapple]

Clint, I have beard.  I grow one every year starting the first of August in preparation of deer season. I usually shave it in January and I usually keep it trimmed.  Last year I let it grow and kept it for the gathering.  I imagine that I'll shave it before March this year.

[PEARL DRUMS]

Pearly, are you going to make down this year?  It would be great having here.

Dave I would love to, but this year I will have ZERO out of state shoots to attend. I just have too many other family deals going that eat up my vacation time. But, one day I will be down. Maybe I can catch a ride with Dan-O one of these times.
