stanley Report post Posted August 18, 2005 Last night at the monthly ADA board meeting, I was talking to Amanda about the various plans I have for this fall. It made me realize that I have VERY few weekends planned at home this fall: Weekend of 8/26 - Archery deer in 23. Weekend of 9/2 - Dove opener! Weekend of 9/16 - Possible Kiabab archery & archery cow in 6A Weekend of 9/23 - Second weekend of archery cow in 6A (if necessary...). Weekend of 10/7 - Quail opener! (can't miss that!) Weekend of 10/14 - My son's junior 6A cow elk hunt. Weekend of 10/21 - Unit 23 Youth Deer Hunter Camp (VOLUNTEERS WELCOME!) Weekend of 11/11 - My son's junior 12A doe hunt. Weekend of 11/18 - Unit 36A Youth Deer Hunter Camp (VOLUNTEER WELCOME!) Then it's quail, quail, quail..... 9 out of 13 weekends with something outdoors planned. Of course this is no top of work (several business trips to NYC - YUK...), 3 kids to chase around, pop-warner practice & games. Oh, and of course a little time carved-out for my lovely (and HUGELY supportive) wife. Awe..... mi vida loco.... I love it! Have a nice fall everyone & good luck! S. PS: If anyone is free during our ADA Youth Hunter weekends, you really should consider coming to one of our camps. They are a good time for all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted August 18, 2005 I think you win! It seems like everyone I know (and offered to help if they got drawn) all drew tags that start on 11-11. So now I have Help on 6A Muzzleloader Bull tag 5Bnorth General Cow tag 31 Deer tag And for me... 32 General Coues tag (that may be donated to hunt of a lifetime since I don't think I'll be able to use it. ) The worst part is that I got my first choice for deer, the 6A tag was second choice, and the 5Bn tag was a third choice. So... now who do I help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

az4life Report post Posted August 19, 2005 Stanley Great guns dude. Hope you have time to take a breath! I did think you were bound to be busy listening to your plate full at the last 2 ADA meetings. Glad to hear we have some High energy folks like you to help out the Youth. I had my calendar on upside down and missed the ADA meeting. thought it was next week. Anyway maybe next month. Looks iffy though but I will put it on the calendar. I am supposed ot fly in that night around 6:00 and if I actually do get back in town on time I will drop by. Keep up the good work and remember to smell the roses along the way.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
