Guys I finally got some time to write up the story of our 25th. camping/turkey trip 2012.



We started out at 10:00 a.m.  on April 11th and headed toward the National Forest mountains of VA in Craig County.  We got there and parked the camper and unhooked it.  We preset up the camp for our 18 day stay and went to bed early and finished setting up the camp on Thursday, April 12th.  We went out on Thursday & Friday and listened for birds and completed the camp that afternoon.



Opening day started at 4:00 AM.  Although we all heard birds low on the mountain on Thursday and Friday, it was not a good day to set up and kill a bird for the 1st day.  Most of the birds were high on the mountain.
Sunday, April 15th we had our annual family/friend BBQ cookout.  All the guys at the camp provided the chicken and everyone else attending was to bring a covered dish. We had a total of 17 people there when we said grace before eating and we had a lot of food. The kids had time to play in the creek and we all had time of fellowshipping together.

We all heard birds and killed a few nice ones and here are a few pictures of our camping trip.









We had a great time and I am unable to tell it all but this may be the last camping trip.

Richard is 67 and was the man that took me out under is wing 25 years ago. This year he has not been in the best of health and only hunted a few days. He has been to the Doctor a few times, Richard had to go and have some testing done just before we all went to camp and he may have prostate cancer and its not looking good.  I ask that you pray for him and that the test come back good.

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Brian, that is one of the posts I look forward to every year. Congrats to all on the hunts.

Hope all turns out well for Richard.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Looks like a good time Brian, Richard will be in our prayers and I would bet that he would want you to carry on that turkey hunting camp tradition no matter what fork in the road is ahead....


Apologizing:  does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right. 
It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
