Well, there's the pics I took.  We sure had a great time!  The weather was good, the food was good, and the people were first class.  Dave was an excellent host, as usual.  When is Moontree IV?

[TRACY]

Here's the hen that was in the shop last year, Wilma . Clint offered her a Pringles and then placed it on her back for later.

Thanks for posting pics Greg! I only took a few. Had an excellent time as always! I'm gonna request that you smoke some more pig at Moontree IV ;dD  I enjoyed meeting everyone new this year and hope to see you all there next year.

Dave, thank you for hosting this even again.  I really enjoy coming down to the moontree farm each spring. 

Tracy, thanks for the shirts.  I'll wear it with pride.

Greg, thanks for the cooler full of animal parts and thanks for the Kentucky round steak sandwich.

Joe, thanks for the skins.  Glad I could help you skin them.

The food was excellent again this year.  Thanks everyone for putting it all together.  It was nice to meet some new people interested in primitive archery.  You guys fit right in with our little group.  Hope you all can make it back next year.

Had a great time at moon tree.  Already planning on coming back next year. Thanks to every one  of you guys, made me feel real welcome. Loved hearing all the stories, shooting bows watching and learning some new stuff. Thanks Dave you did a great job putting everything together for your event. See every body next year.

Greg, you left your "scorched bow" in the workshop.  Is that a hint that your expecting me to finish it for you.

Guys, I had a great time.  It was so good ya'll again.  It was a pleasure meeting the new folks.  Thanks so much to all the photographers who captured the moment.

[Gsulfridge]

Glad you caught me busy Clint!  I worked hard all weekend.

[Pappy]

Looks like a great time for sure.

Pappy, it sure was a great time, but just a warm up for the Classic.  I'll see you soon.

I haven't had a chance to post my pics, but it was great seeing everyone and meeting the new guys, Marcus, Paul and Joe...  thats the only names I remember and I probably got those wrong... hell to get old..

Thanks Clint for helping me skin those stinking snakes!  I put the carcasses out in front of a trailcam along with the otter, beaver and coon trimmings..  well, the buzzards scarfed up the trimmings and snake guts, and the possums ate the snake meat...

Thanks Dave again for being such a great host, ya'll gonna have to start eating during working hours... lol
