Finally actually home. Got here and left for a couple of ball games. Went out to eat. Came home to sit on my recliner and watch some TV. Damn thing wouldn’t power up. Breaker was tripped and won’t reset. So no TV but this recliner feels fan-fucking-tastic!

Operation clean out starts tomorrow. So I will finish this beer and might have another if I can talk a kid into getting it. 😂

It was my first time there and I will definitely be back. Had an absolute blast. Thanks to beaner and dan for the awesome grub and everyone for the welcome and fellowship. And thanks to Joe for being a kind soul and not leaving my fat ass out in the woods to die in the cold cold dark on Friday night.

A few noteworthy observations....

Giles can drink beer.
Those hills out there are no joke.
SBR does not stand for short barrelled rifle.
Drawing is preferable to tracing.
According to some, Joe should switch to a crossbow shooting a rage.

Ha. I knew what laid ahead of those guys and there was no way I was going straight up either. Yeah if I was shooting a rage two blade it would have blown through that bucks shoulder knuckle and completely cut him in half.

You forgot the part of he’d of been so traumatized that he’d of ran too the truck before dropping dead....

So glad we made the time to come Saturday evening. It was great to finally put faces with names! I can’t tell you all how much I appreciated the welcome and especially for my son Allen and mom Sheryl! She laughed her ass off all the way home and even kept talking about it all today before we headed home. Big thank you to @Beentown for all the hard work and an incredible feast that night. We all enjoyed ourselves and want to thank all of TOO for everything!

Y’all looked to have had an awesome time as usual and great food as usual! Wish I could have made it this time but just too much still on my plate around my house that needed done. Thanks for sharing plenty of pictures for us to view too! The weather prolly ranks up there with the best this Strouds get together has ever had! Glad to see some new faces amongst the group and I’ll be looking forward to meeting them next year. TOO ROCKS👍🏻

Glad you had fun buddy. You walked in the door at peak shenanigans time though, by that I mean usually don't meet members for the first time dressed as a 70s pimp. 😅

Good Stuff Fellas! Glad it all went down well for everyone. And thanks for all the pics!

Crossbows and Rage mix well....... Get on board or keep looking for your deer. It's really your choice.....LMFAO
Well it's not the broadheads fault.... If he was on the ball and not playing with his Ding a Ling he would have seen the buck comming and planned his shot better.... Just saying...

I saw him coming. There was a smaller one in front of him that picked me out like a queer at a gun show. The smaller buck took off. The bigger one hung up at 40 trying to figure out what was going on before making a move. There was a small tree at the back of the lungs in the liver area. Knowing Murphys law that if you intend to barely miss a tree, you will inevitably center punch it, so I held a little further forward thinking I would barely miss the tree. . Nope, hit him right where I was aiming right in the ball joint.
