I think when we get together you guys have to taste the best beer in the world. I refer to it as Vitamin "Y" also known as Yuengling (No they aren't chinese). Brewed right here in Pottsville, PAthey are officially recognized asAmerica's Oldest Brewery. They have the best line up of beers in the country.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I haven't met a beer that I was afraid to introduce myself to as of yet, so I'm down with that.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Sounds like a good Christmas present to me......:D

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

:D Chad you buy the gas, Don and I will buy the beer.:D Rob can videotape...

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Don, Maybe i'll have to put together a few sample packs for christmas;)

Dustin, I too have never me a beer I wouldn't introduce myslef too. And I have the extra weight to prove that.;)[8D]

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Hey if you want to check Yuengling out look them up at www.yuengling.com

Man how did this thread get so off track?[8D]

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

i used to hunt NJ because they start earlier then PA and run until end of nov with short gun seasons and then they have a winter season. not sure exactly how it is now but should be close and its not crazy far away. used to be loaded with deer but some areas i hear are slowing down but others are just as over run as ever im hoping business picks up so i can afford to go out at least january and then ill have my lisense for the fall next year hope to try for a velvet buck in one of the zones that opens early in NJ.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

No doubt. I lived in PA for 9 years and drank lots of "lager". It's still one of my favorites and I buy cases of black and tan whenever I am down there.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I'm down for the MO leg of the trip...And beer... umm I don't drink that yet...:eek:[:-] But next year I'll be 21.:D

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

MO Bow dont lie. Anyway im down too. That would really be sweet. And as far as beer goes my girlfriend's parents work for Anheuser Busch. And I dont mind shooting does, but i only have one tag left. Sounds like it would be a good time.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

You guys are killing me.

PA is in the stone age. 6 week season and no Sunday hunting.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Me buy the gas?, I'm getting the bargain in the deal here, you guys have never seen me put them away when I want to. Don't do that very much anymore, maybe once a year if i'm lucky. Usually just a beer or two here and there to relax.

Rick James, you know what i'm talking about with Vitamin "Y". You should be able to get it in NY. I know their distribution area is into NY. I grew up less than an hour from Pottsville in the Coal Regions so I was practically bottle-fed the stuff. They love their Yuengling so much in Pottsville that on the opening day of the rifle season the people who don't hunt go to the bars and drink all day. The call it the first day of "Beer Season"
Yuengling Premium is and will always be my favorite, followed closely by Lager and Black and Tan.

Mo_Bowhntr, ah a young pup huh? Well atleast we'll have a designated driver.;)

MOMightyMite, Budweiser? Your kidding right? YUCK![:'(] I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Anything by Anheiser Bush doesn't even come close to Yuengling.

So the list looks like this:
PA Hardwoods
dwd2001
mobowhntr
MOMightyMite
MO_Bowhntr
Rob/PA Bowyer

Anyone else want to join in?

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Here's my advice to you PA guys......

PUT $5 ASIDE SOMETIME DURING THE YEAR SO THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE A DOE TAG AND EXTEND YOUR SEASONS!

That'll be all....

Jeff

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

SBGobblers, I still have 3 tags to fill here in PA. But my favorite time aka Early Archery Season is now over. I will be taking my rifle out when the Orange Army hits the woods but that is just one of those traditions, it is more so to go to hunting camp to drink and play cards and tell stories. I will be taking the bow out during our late bowseason but deer are real tough to hunt then. So I still have tags left to fill, I'm not like a certain moderator for this forum that didn't get a doe tag this year. I won't mention any names... Cough! cough! ROB!!!

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I want to be added to the list but I have to ask my wife first. I will be glad to host in Tx when the caravan makes it here if I can't join the road trip.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I was kinda ribbing Rob, PA. I hear your woods are full of weekend warlords when the gun season opens.....and it's not a real safe place to be at times!!! I guess I'm spoiled, here. Rob will be here Friday and Saturday.....and we won't have anyone within a mile of us.

I'm also gonna loan him the $5......for next year:D

jeff

Consider Yourself added txjourneyman; Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.;)

Now the list looks like this:
PA Hardwoods

MOMightyMite
MO_Bowhntr
Rob/PA Bowyer

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

You ain't kidding about the weekend warlords when rifle season comes in. Oh the stories I could tell you. We really aren't kidding when we say the "Orange Army". Consider yourselves very lucky. Even during our early archery season we only have about 2 weeks of peace and quiet. It is not too bad since I hunt on mostly private ground, but get on public land here in PA and it gets out of hand.[:@]

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I gotta learn to keep my mouth shut. [8D] ;) And I learned my lesson. I'll get a doe tag next year, I promise. :D

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Rob,

I believe I read in one of your posts that you didn't want to take a doe off the property this year and thats why you didn't get a tag. Next year get a tag for 3B and you have an open invitation to come up to my place and take one. We really really need to trim down the doe population and I honestly could use some help because between the 3 of us we can't pull enough tags to trim the population where we want it. We have 3 tags between Dan, myself, and my Dad this year and honestly I don't think it's enough. We have 7 different family groups of does that frequent the property that I know of and out of those 7 groups, there are about 13 does that are 1.5 years or older. This is only a 120 acre patch. We are only about an hour from you and I could put you up in in a pretty nice place as well.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Im sorry to hear it. Our season starts at the end of Sept. and doesnt end till Jan. Mind you rifle season starts in Nov. so you got to deal with the deer acting a little more skitish. Im also lucky, when season ends here, we got hogs all year round. Acually, the hog hunting picks up late in the winter. Im such a lucky slob.:D

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

It's Official! Burnie YOU SUCK TOO!!! Just kidding. I could just imagine having seasons as long as yours here in PA, Very quickly there would be no such thing as a whitetailed deer in PA with the Orange Army marching around[:'(]. I think PA is only second or third in the country to I think Michigan and Minnesota in the numbers of hunters in the state. Some rifle seasons it really feels like there is a hunter behind every tree, especially on public ground.

So guys do we have a name for this little road trip we're gonna take? Realtree Roadtrips will have nothing on us!:D

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

PA....

My bow season starts 9/9.....and ends 12/19.

I then go one county over.....and hunt with a friend on his lease until 1/1.

That is......unless I tag out!!.....lol (Which would be THREE more deer!)

Jeff

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Alright good deal, we have a clan ready for this trip. Yeah PA, I'm more of a flavor drinker as well... I like my brain cells. But your gas bill is increasing, by the time TXjourney and burnie make it to my house up here in OK, then we drive to Missouri to pick up all the MO's and then you and Gramps (AKA Rob)meet us in Montana...

Burnie, these pictures are from my buddy's ranch on the Brazos... I know you know the Brazos.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

:D:D:D. Its a great thing for me, but my wife dont like it much.lol.. If you could get to Tx. There is loads of public land. Hogs everywhere. And since the market is down on them, no one is traping them. Im seeing more and more. I almost hit two this week on the road coming and going to work.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Man I gotta move out of Pennsylvania! Naaa! I couldn't as much as I might complain about PA I really do love it. But if the morons in the cities keep voting for idiots like our Gun-Grabbing Govenor "Fast Eddie" Rendell I may want to move[:@][:'(]. But that is another story.[8D] I guess i'll just have to find some friends out of state who would be willing to let me come hunt with them. Hint! Hint!;)

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

dwd
You bet. My land in Jayton is on the salt fork of the Brazos. I live in knox county, next to two forks of the Brazos, actually watched a bunch of hogs crossing the River yesterday. I also hunt in Brock right on the Clear fork of the Brazos. Actually lost a doe in the Brazos there three weeks ago. The river was up, P.K. had the dam open, and I shot a doe about 20 yards from the river, she ran to the river and piled up in it. The river washed her away. I was not real happpy. We could never find her.

I use to go to Norman quite a bit. Back when I was in College (1990s), I set the O.U. Record for the Highjump in their indoor facilites. I also like to ride my harley in those parts. Either up through Ardmore or Lawton.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I'm going through the same thing as well. I rarely harvest a buck before the rut, but did this year. It's killing me not being able to hunt, but still see all the rutting activity. I'm able to tag along with my friends though and hang double stands, which helps...

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

GRAMPS!!!!! ROTFL Maybe we can get that emboidered for him on his Enigma Hat and his Jacket. It's official Rob/PA Bower will be refered to as "Gramps" from now on.;)

I am serious about a road trip next year guys, Maybe not as many stops as discussed, but I think we could work some kind of middle meeting point out. It would be so great to meet all of you guys in person.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

PA.....

I'm older than Rob by a few years. I'd say come with Rob to NC.....but we'll likely just be slammin' Geritol and talking about the glory days (ya know.....when we talk about the 70's.....we're not tlaking about temperatures).

Jeff

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

But SB you don't have near the gray "Gramps" does. The 70's huh? I was just crawling around drooling in the 70's. I guess your gonna tell us next you loved growing up listening to disco.;) Oh by the way ask Gramps to see his "Mullet" pics

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I'll trade my driving duties for a designated camera man. Nobody wants to see old guys on camera anyway.:D

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Ok who wants to be MO_Bowhnter's Designated camera man. Us young guys are too pretty to be stuck behind a camera.[8D] When the ladies see these vids there will be a be a mad rush to learn to bowhunt.;)

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

i am also not very happy about the PA archery season. I know for one thing my wife is very happy to have me home for two weeks. We started on removing wallpaper.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Ah, the imfamous honey-do list rears it's ugly head once again!

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I've got ZERO mullet skeletons in my closet......but I can out-grey even the old gummers. On my drivers license.....it lists GREY as my hair color.

I am NOT kidding.

Jeff

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

I have to admit I had a mullet too.[&:] But Rob's was worse than mine! Grey on the license huh? Hey thats better than having "None" listed under hair color. Too much Grey = Camera man on the road trip

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

How'd this turn into a rib Rob thread..lol ;) Technically it wasn't classified as a mullet, it was my 80's/90's rockin hair and really got the women and the picture that he's (PA HARD) is refering to is this one. Rob in his younger years, no grey, a "mullet" and first ever archery buck.

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

Dude.....

I dont care who ya are....

THAT's a mullet.

I'm just sayin..........

Jeff

RE: Already going through withdrawl!
 

What is all thishattingon a mullet for? Here is my mullet from the early 90s. It was the style back then. Notice Willie has one too. This was taken back stage at Farm aid in Iowa.
