catclaw Report post Posted June 21, 2009 I got home about an hour ago. I am only 2 hours away and I have to hand it to those who came from afar! It was a good time by all-especially the kids. We broke way too many arrows though! Next year I am bringing titanium arrows! To those who missed, you really missed out. Plan now for next year (I hope Lance is hosting it again) Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted June 21, 2009 A BIG thanks to Lance for hosting the fun event and providing tasty elk burgers and brats for dinner! And who put those trees in front of the archery targets??? Here are some photos from around the Friday night campfire. Are campfires really hypnotic? Do you want those marshmallows golden brown or charcoal black? An insect with extra "eyes" that would snap when its back was pushed on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 21, 2009 I had a great time up there visiting with everyone!! And I really enjoyed all the great cooking up there! We did some serious feasting this weekend! Lance and family cooked up som great elk cheese burgers and brats for Friday night dinner. Thanks to Lance's son Ty for sharing his elk with us!! I loved those. Gino and Tina made smoked bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers stuffed with cream cheese and a mix of mexican cheese. Gino brought up his propane smoker and smoked everything with apple wood. And Brian Marshall and others (not sure if Jeremy and his wife were in on this dish, too?) made up some killer potatoes to go with it all. Saturday morning featured great bisquits and gravy (with elk sausage in it). Excellent! Saturday night found us dining on a perfectly smoked prime rib and ribs provided by Gino and his wife. That was great and then Jeremy and his wife provided perfectly baked potatoes, salad and cheesecake! YUM! Oh, and I added to the mix by making prickly pear margaritas on Fri and Sat night. I didn't expect to eat so well up there! Thanks for such great food. We had fun throughout the weekend with the archery shoot, playing a variety of games around camp, having a raffle and several great guess the score bucks. Thanks to those that brought up there deer heads and sheds. It was great to visit with everyone that came up. Hard to beat time spent around a campfire! Thanks so much to Lance and his family for always making this an excellent campout. It's a real pleasure spending time with your family. I know he took several photos (and I didn't take any!), so I am hoping he will post some. Sorry Carrie had to be on crutches all weekend with her sprained ankle.

daryl_s Report post Posted June 22, 2009 The kids, my brother and I had a great time. A great big thank you to Lance and Carrie for putting it together and contributing so much. It was a lot of fun to finally meet the people whose posts I have been reading for the last few years. The company, food and activities were really good. I will post some pictures Monday AM. For those of you who missed it, you really need to put this event on your calendar and make it out next year or to the next get together. I look forward to meeting more people at the next one. I'm definitely planning on making it out to this event every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl_s Report post Posted June 22, 2009 My photography leaves a lot to be desired after seeing Doug's pictures but here they are anyways. The kids kept Tina's dog entertained most of the time. I probably need to get my kids a dog. There were a lot of really neat looking sheds and pickups out there. You should see the ones Jim Reynolds DID NOT want, Kevin (Peloncillo) brought them. Here are the resident CWT expert archers. Seriously, these guys can shoot. They all took turns shooting at 100 yards. Here is a short video of Lance hitting the target.

Lance Report post Posted June 22, 2009 Once again, it was a great time with great people! Thank you all so much for coming! I counted 33 in all that attended the Get Together this year. Some spent Thursday night and some stayed through Sunday making it a 4 day event! Sorry, I didn't get a picture of everyone that was there, or of all that went on, but here are a few pictures that I did get! To busy having fun to catch everything on camera I guess! You saw some pictures from Friday night, And I was one of the first to wonder about on Saturday Morning. We had a nice drizzle of rain of Friday night and woke to a cool fresh and beautiful mountain morning! Here a heavenly beam of light shines on a B&C class Coues shed as it lies in the morning dew of the rain soaked grass! That is exactly how I think we view every shed Coues anteler we find in the woods! That Halalula moment with a shining light! So I picked it up and put it on the table for a breakfast center peice. The reminant of the the friday night campfire. the Bow Tree But it wasn't quiet out for long and camp was busy once again! Ty and little Gavin. "You can pee on any tree you want Gavin". "Realy! Any tree I want!" "Yea! just pick one and you better hury!" Amanda was always a big hit with the kids! We ended up having 3 archery shoots! In the morning the kids had a shoot and the adults had a shoot. In the afternoon kids and adults had a shoot together and it got real fun and real creative! I just had my camera phone with me during the shoot so the pictures are a little blury. Jermey's arrow didn't care it the trees were in the way and scored a 5 right through an oak tree anyway! Thanks Amanda for this great site! Like I said before. Great time with Great people! Thank you all for coming, participating and contributing to this Get Together! All of you who come are who make it happen! I hope to see you all next year! Thanks! Lance and Carrie Crowther and Family Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted June 23, 2009 Oh man looks like I missed OUT! Tried making it but ended up having to go to Phx to get a new truck cause my old beater work truck is on it's last legs. I showed up later Sunday morning and everyone was gone... Ended up taking my family to Mormon Lk Lodge for some grub so it wasn't a total loss. Hopefully next year I'll make it....

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted June 24, 2009 We had a great time!! Good to meet those that came and I guess we missed a few while we were down at the shoot.... next time.... Some was said that the Fathers Day w/e is not good time for the gathering, but I'd like to mention that...IMO.. it is the perfect time to be camping and outdoors as a family!! I really liked that it was the same time as the Mormon Lake Archery shoot.... I'd like to have been up there one day sooner and shot a course or two on Friday.... Lance, Thanks for being such a great host!!! You and your family are very kind to put that on for everyone! And your kids are awesome in our book! All the kids at this deal had even more fun than the adults, I think.... they were all Great and our dogs are still wore out for all the playin' they did with everyone's children!! Lance... those burgers were Great! B-Dog... Thanks for the leason on dutch oven Taters..... They were Awsome!!! Next time you should make it a point not to stay so long... Oh.... and I noticed that no one has asked about the outcome of that 100 yd shot..... So I thought that I'd comment it! Although I know that I have not shot over 50 yards for 1 1/2 - 2 years and I only had less than 12 shots on my new string before I showed up at camp... I still managed be closest.... and just edged out my Bro, Jeremy (which does NOT happen very often)!!! Probably just lucky though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
