10 days left boys till we chase mules across the lands again!

New business to be considered:

It appears that several (actually one) member(s) of the esteemed FAMHC (Friday Afternoon Men’s Hunting Club) who has been on “Special Probation”, will not be able to hunt on Friday’s again based on his current physical condition. IF said member attended ANY ONE of last years FAMHC events (see rule 33[b]iii), consideration for continued membership would have been contemplated. Now, that being said, since a valid doctors excuse will most likely be presented (or death – which is good as always) – it (FAMHC membership) most likely will be revoked until a satisfactory result is attained, based on last years lack of attendance.

Active current member’s in good standing will convene for council, on WEEK TWO – first Friday. Location is to be kept secret.

Watch out for flying wrenches and sockets Joe! 🙂

The Rangers gathered for the yearly preseason festivities in fine fashion! Crews performed the regular work in the hills, as others got the camp in condition for the upcoming backcountry pursuits.

A feast of yardbird and ribs was consumed, with copious amounts of adult beverages as well.

NO CHEAP FIREWOOD WAS CUT – however it was brought to table that “organic firewood” sold at fair market price may be considered for next year….and not a penny less!

Chip wins the first “F your buddy” game, which half +/- was “donated*” to the camp fund.

Ray attains “Trailhugger feels earthquake and flies off the chair” status, and proclaims much affinity for Ftroop.

* – Donated = forcibly removed from the pocket of said winner with much humiliation during removal.

Feel free to add comments as you wish, for those who attended.

Work Weekend 2013 – A first? “No Cheap Firewood!”

Six bold Rangers,(actually four, with two RIT) sans the Polecat, and “others”….made it to the target -T-Lake Falls- via a unconventional route. A twelve mile round trip jaunt, with some through familiar trailess hunting territory resulted in a magnificent day in the woods, not to mention a two hour “rest” at the falls! Many badges were earned, and we even brought Polecat back a treasure from the hike to be cherished forever!

P.S. – No “Spike-isms” will be tolerated in the comment sections! You know who you are! Violators will be placed on probation permanently and will forever have to hunt the bowels of Gitchy-GooMey!

Now we need to figure out where just where is…we “go” to?!

See Polecat’s reply, all looks good!

Toucher says his knee was “hurt” playing with his endless pile of firewood. Sort of like Stosh’s roof it appears. Will he show up and keep the Denmama company? We’ll see!

From your Denmama: (unedited version):

“Attention all Rangers
Its a go for this week end May 4. We walked in yesterday (4/28/13) Could have drove. Stil mushy at the camp. The weather looks GOOD. No snow on the north side of Irondatwat.
Call me ASAP if you can make it.
I have my doubts about the Toucher. He’s got the love bug bad. Last year it was a deck, but he still managed to slither down to Albany for a pipe cleaning. I wonder how many week ends he’ll miss this huntin season.I’ll call him anyway.
Bring your own beer. I forgot to see how much Gin is left.
