Dave thats hilarious. It sounded like a jungle for a few minutes on sat nite huh? I have to say Im partially responsible. When the guy with the duck call let go I grabbed my mouth call and started doing turkey and wounded rabbit squeels and then it broke loose all throughout the camp. Kaw kaw is right.

When the Okie boyz started in with the sheep bleating "Baaaaahhh" sounds everyone was a bit concerned, ...but nothing untoward came of it.  ...that anybody knows about anyway.  (What happens at OJAM stays at OJAM!)

We took a few pics.  Enjoy.

The road trip began at 11:00 pm.  Driving throughout the night ... and the drizzly rain.



By the time we arrived at OJam rain was mostly gone.  Which made setting up campsite a bit more enjoyable.


Bow-making was a focus of the weekend.

Including Dave (DVS) and Chris working on their hackberry bows.



Dave began working on his stave at noon.  We were shooting it at 5.



Many vendors setup shop and lotsa $$$ traded hands or trades were made.


When the sun slipped beyond horizon there was plenty of time for storytelling and refreshments ... and some strange night-time "animal" mimicking.


All in all .... GREAT weekend!  Thanks to Oklahoma Selfbow Society for organizing.
