We originally had like 15 people ready to go, then they slowly backed out until it was just 2 of us, and we had a blast.
Very comfortable cabin in the woods, quiet... that is until we got there! lol .. we were shooting rifles off the porch every free minute we had! LOL
Weather called for 18 mph winds and rain all weekend, so i packed a .223 just in case it was too windy for a bow shot..
Well, we arrived in NY at the cabin Friday evening, and the radio said "monsoon comming, heavy rain and 65 mph winds"... what a let down!
I didnt sleep all night due to the lightning flashing through the windows in my face, and the rain pouring on the metal roof.... very depressing when i knew i had to hunt the next morning.
we woke up at 7AM and the rain let up a bit, and actually stopped by 8, when we were getting set up in the stands.. camera men were supposed to film for their new website, but due to weather they stayed home
well, the wind got nasty and the sky turned black... but it was all a hoax! it went from dark to bright blue skys with fluffy clouds and the wind dropped down to a respectable speed. by noon i shot my ram and my buddy got his 300 lb russian boar with a 7mm
1 oclock we were bass fishing in T shirts and by 6 PM we were trying to shoot rifles at plinking targets but the HAIL was blowing under the awning and we were freezing cold, so we went inside, watched some hunting DVDs and went to bed... waking up the next morning, MOTHERS DAY, in MAY, to 2" of snow!!!
Here are a few pics from the hunt:
PS, i shot my ram with a 2 bladed rage... SWEET
Looking forward to seeing the Ram mount when you get it finished. Are you also doing the boar?
