[Terrierman]

For several good reasons, I'm looking forward to this jigfest a lot.  Really looking forward to seeing you all again and sharing some good times.

Looking like I will make it.  What should I bring fishing equipment and living quarters wise? I will arrive Friday around noon, stay through Sunday.  

The houses we stay in are fully furnished so you don't need anything special there.  This jigfest, so bring a couple of light or ultralight spinning rods with 2, 4 or 6 lb mono or whatever premium line you prefer tor throwing light weight baits. Your box of trout jigs.  Jerkbaits are provisionally allowed.  So bring that stuff too if you want.  You'll have a great time, guaranteed.

I'm enjoying deer hunting now too, but feeling a little bummed about the one lost this morning.  Second one ever in my life.

Yeah my hunting was a roller coaster as well.  Busted scopes and ATV rides in snowstorms mixed with 3 beautiful days in the woods...

How did you bust a scope DJ did you drop your your rifle.

my money is on butterfingers.

Well I have 16 down for lodging now - if that is the case that works out to 112.50 each, but we can round it up to $113.  If it's 15 it will be $120, so bring some extra cash in case someone cancels.  Remember Riley's only takes cash or checks.

I have no problem being the treasurer, I'll have a big envelope we will put the money in and hand it to Miles, come see me when we're there and fork over the dough.  

I am claiming dibs on the first bedroom to the right on the ground floor of Cedar Gables, I am bringing my pooch and it's a convenient place to put him.

4 wheeler battery died, flat tires on the more reliable one... Riding back in with my buddy on his, had rifle over my shoulder and not over my head.  Hit a huge rock and rifle popped off shoulder swings around and caught the back rack right on the turret leaving a big gouge all the way down to bare metal.

Zero'd it back in when we get back.  Was knocked way off... Shoot at deer next morning and they didn't even move.  Shoot it again back at cabin and it's 3 foot or so off again... 

I'll give it another go at the range or if I go back out, but it seems like it won't hold zero anymore.  I only brought 10 rounds or so down with me lol.  

I had a great spot setup but all with long shots.  I had my 30/30 with me so hunted some other spots rest of weekend... Great days in the woods, but no deer to bring home this weekend.
