I too thought you got a ticket JW! and as I clicked on the post, memories of my distant past came up and I remembered getting a ticket when I was 18 for not camping in an established spot in a wild life management area.
Your story is way cooler than I thought when I saw the title.
This year thier holding the Northeastern Rendezvous 25 minutes from my house, opening day is this Fri. and I'm itchin' to get things set up. Got about a dozen of us Hawkeye Bowmen members goin', were gonna set up together and make our own little Hawkeye camp.
Hope the mug turn's up some where, a drinking vessel is a mighty important piece of equipment at a rendezvous!
