Little wagon is in.... he just doesn't know it yet..... ok... one meeting and dates will be set... ill drive north if that helps... we are going to need some boats!

What evening works for everyone?

how big is your lake?

Any evening but tuesday evenings for me.

and I more then likely can barrow a boat, its only a 14 footer, and no frills, but it will work.

18 acres

I got a 12' Tracker all decked out. 2 seater but has foot controlled trollin' motor. I can bring it. I paid $375.00 for all that you see except fishfinder. Stole it.

That will work!... details soon

I'm fishing with Bean, if he'll have a crazy a$$ Army guy in his boat.....OH and I'll give you 500 bucks for the boat, lol

Let's start by nailing down some possible dates.... march is out for me

. Ill ne gone most of that month.. turkey season is out.. so what does everybody have in mimd

We could do the week before season and combine it with a mushroom hunt?.. fried mushrooms and crappie...just a thought

what time frame (month) are you talking about?

Late february. Early april. Mid may?

I am good for just about anytime. I sorta am in charge of my own calendar. Pick a date and I can work around it. April/May might be better fishin possibly. I like the idea of the week before turkey season.

Recon - heck ya I would fish w/ a crazy army guy BUT no on the $500 for my boat. I got a couple grand sitting in my garage right now.

Mid may might be the best, per the comment above. I'll be in Kentucky the week before the Indiana turkey season opener. Mid May would really work good for me but I'll put a strong effort to whenever you try to get it set up.

+1 for mid May, that way all my other bs is done!! Fishing is great then as well.

MAY 12th????? Is this a campout as well???

May 18th for the help and prep. Tourney on the 19th.. rain date is the 20th... more details to follow...

Shift work on the 18th....

Change it weed
.... last call.. do these dates work?

Good for me.

Yep.

I'll do my best to get the shift off, Keith.

My son is in as long as the gaurd doesn't tell him otherwise ...
Joe are you good with these dates as well? And how about your neighbor?

May date works for me

Looks like we are set on the date.. more details soon!

Im game.

Been gone since Thursday. Dates are also good for me.

yep, I'm in on both days

ARE BETS OPEN, AND TRASH TALKIN STARTING????

I won't ask my buddies until later, but probably at least a couple will be in.

Camping is available or you can camp in in my garages.. I have 8 bays heated. sinks water and fridge.. I keep an air bed out there. So don't even think of taking my spot. I have a gas grill and firewood... plenty of spots for campers too if somebody wants to bring one..
I have been contacted by a couple of gracious donors from this site that wish to remain anonymous. Thanks to you and your contributions. We will probably have one meeting and discuss a few things.. I have a couple of hunts with Joe coming up so we will discuss the details. Same with littlewagon and weed. Ill post details after that and then set a meeting date if needed..
So far we are off to a smooth start to a fun time and a worthy cause...

Jack your a vet... im sure we have enough people to load you in to a boat..... are you coming or not?

Would.somebody wake up the old man and see if he's coming or not...
I think we have plenty of help now but all are welcome. I am picking up some donations today from local businesses ..
Im going to limit this to nine boats.. more details to follow... oh there will be some shooting mixed in as well.. probably.will get to meet the Owen county sheriff at some.point.lol

Send them a invite with date & time....beat them to the punch!!!

Impressive outcome to this.

You may or may not be surprised how many times the sheriff shows up when we start shooting machine guns.

The chief of police lives only a mile away.. ill give him a heads up........ I also have se really nice areas for a bow range if you want to bring tagets

Picked up a nice 3 piece 18volt cordless tool kit today for a prize.. Includes drill, circular saw and flashlight from True Value today. Thanks to them and their contribution.. I have a lot of things to consider on exactly how to run this shindig but there is plenty of time to work all the kinks out... This does not have to be restricted to just fishing.. Volunteers please feel free to contact me with any suggestions you may have as well.

Indianashooter.com will have an Esee knife or two to thrown into the pot.

i am planning to be there. honeing my guide skills (the lake is over there). cooking skills, (this aint mcdonalds). and lastly THANKS TO ALL THE VETS I WILL GET TO MEET FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY.

Does IDHA still have any of those tee shirts left?

JB would know. Once you've identified how many vets will be there, we'll crank it up so we try to get something for each of them.
