VENUE CHANGE (See 1st Post) - Strouds '24 - October 13-20

[Outdoorsfellar]

I plan on dropping by Strouds that Saturday night to shake hands with some of you fuggers.

Well, what about the others ? ...

Here's the breakdown.

I’m about a 20 minute drive. If anyone wants a side trip on Saturday or Sunday to hunt my place, you are more than welcome. 84 acres…there’s room for more than a couple. I plan on dropping by Strouds that Saturday night to shake hands with some of you fuggers.

Great offer and potential for even greater memories to be made.

You should also come over Monday or Tuesday evening and hang out with the early birds. Bigcountry will be there Tuesday

I'm not looking good for a weeks worth of firewood. Let's figure that out.

I know a guy that can get some decent firewood lol

I’d love to but can’t get off work. I’ll be down to my place Friday night. I’ll swing by then and Saturday night also.

Haven’t decided exactly what I’m doing as far as if I’m going to attend the whole week yet. If I do may try and just find a dump trailer and fill it up

We can pitch in if needed

If we dont start getting some rain, we wont need firewood.

 

[Dannmann801]

Aye tis true

 

[bowhunter1023]

Forecast isn't favorable. My food plots are just dirt plots and I can't even overseer with oats because there's not any rain forecasted for the next 15 days. One hell of a drought to say the least.

@Dustinb80 has got first fire watch!

 

[brock ratcliff]

Jesse- I’ve got a buddy that is determined to save an alfalfa plot.

 

[Smawgunner2]

Change of plans, I’ll be down to my place on the 14 and 15 so again anyone wants a place to hunt then you’re more than welcome. I’m about 15 minutes from Strouds.

 

[Dustinb80]

$ sent Jesse.

 

[Dustinb80]

Nobody has been looking forward to this week more than I.
But I'm just gonna put this out there - help me work thru this thinking.

Instead of taking October 13-20th and going to Strouds and bear hunting, maybe I ( or we/some of us) should take that time and fill the truck/trailer with relief supplies and head south into TN/NC and try to do some of the work that FEMA isn't doing. Maybe instead of taking this next week to work on hunting gear I should spend that time marshalling stuff that I could take south. Maybe instead of being pissed at our ineffectual government I should put my money (and my precious vacation time) where my mouth is and do something about it.

Maybe I/we should step up.

I'm 3 months from retirement and have the rest of my life to hunt. The people in NC need help now.

Maybe our brotherhood which we celebrate for a week every fall should look outward this year.

How effectual could one guy be? Govt is making it hard for volunteers to help, and is confiscating supplies.
Would my effort even be worth it?

Anybody wanna go with?

Should I be saving my time/effort/resources for what may come to Ohio in the next few months?

Talk me through it.
