Short, but sweet Grayling trip
« on: October 26, 2015, 09:01:00 am »
Greg, bad Chris, Dan (Buck McNeely) and I met in Grayling, MI last weekend to hang out, hunt and BS. Our plans started as a full week, but unfortunate circumstances cut my time to just a weekend with them. Greg and Dan are up there for at least a few more days. I snapped a few pics during Greg and my scout/walk around Saturday afternoon, we did quite a few miles and I think I may have wore the ol' man out  ;). The weather was dismal, but we made the most of it.

Deer movement was slow. We all seen deer, but always on the hoof and never on stand. I had a very express trip up and mostly visited, I'm sure the guys will get an arrow off this week. It takes a lot of boot leather and hard work to get the chance up there, but its very doable. For me? The view I have while I wait for deer to show up is worth it, pretty easy on the eyes terrain. No wonder Fred hunted it so much.

Looks like fun. If I was hunting in Grayling I'd have to be using my 59 Kodiak.

Good lookin camp - Grayling always seems to be a Magical spot to Me. A Bear Bow in hand would be very appropriate. I sure miss the annual Selfbow Camp that Matt and I put together long ago. Bob.

I was using an osage self bow Eddie, but I did have some old greenies glued on my arrows. Had to have a bit of Fred on-board.
