SikaPalooza - Oct 05-08, 2018 Official Thread

I made a trip last year, and definitely worth it! I went to Chesapeake forest lands and walked in. Probably walked a couple miles in to get away from everyone. It's unreal to hear those little things. I had bugles all around and had a spike stag come in right at dark, just to far for a shot. I will try my hardest to make it down for a day or two. I'm about 2.5 hours away l.
 
@donnieballgame is the campground hammock friendly? Can you give me some more information on the campground? Name? If I know which one it is I can do some more research myself. Thank you in advance, sir. Sorry if I missed this in the previous post.

Hammocks suck, and so does that Huck guy

;-)

I have to admit, that tent you had was pretty sweet.

And I think it only weighs about six or seven pounds. It's great for bringing on the Aeroplane where your limited on how much your bags can weigh.

Working nights. No way to manipulate schedule. You guys have fun!

If my kids missed school to go hunting it would be a sacrilege. Lol. I am definitely going to try. Shoot it is only 3-4 hours depending on traffic. Are you setting up Thursday night and are we able to stay on our own after Sunday?

I am hoping to add a day on each end for myself, we have a lot of flexibility.

Ah man that's a bummer, I'll guess I'll have to do the XOP Hand climber demo.

Don’t give the video to you know who or you’ll never see it again.
Man swamp mosquito’s and Sika deer. Sounds like a hunt made in heaven. If you want to use my job boat come and get it. I’ll be in Va in late Oct and early Nov and can pick it up then.
Hope I’m on the right page.
Make me proud when you climb your telephone pole.

I might take you up on the boat offer, I was looking at buying and then selling one, not a lot of rental options.

I've been wanting to make a few videos but I'm waiting til I'm healthy before I start climbing trees again. Not sure I can compete with you on the hand climber, I'll try and do some practicing this summer when I'm healthy.

That’s a bucket list hunt for me, I could probably rope up a good crew for that one! A couple guys I really want to get into saddle hunting.....
Well I can only speak from my experience with Saddlepalooza 2018, because my older brother is about as stubborn as they come and I think he was pretty darn convinced after the long weekend of big hunting with a bunch of Saddle hunters!!!
 
What is the latest that I can sign up @donnieballgame? October is still a pretty busy month for me. The grass is still growing plenty fast down here in South. So as much as I would like to commit now it may be one of those last-minute decisions. It sounds like a really good time and I hate to miss any saddlehunter event. If I can make it it'll definitely be just me making this one. I was willing to give up hunting hogs to bring the kid but not so much on this hunt. Besides I will have to fly. I do believe Maryland's a bit further than what I want to drive.

I didn't put a deadline down, yet, I'll take a look tonight and add one, that is a good idea, need to have a cutoff!

You take health for granted till yours is on the blink. Don’t push it just let it happen. Hope it’s better soon.
If you can’t handle it call Bowhunter 15 up. I still haven’t seen the video. I heard Red has it.
