Illinois get together?
 

Just an informal poll, but if I wanted to put together a get together here in N. IL, how many folks would be intrested? Not a giant thing, just an afternoon & evening of BBQ, horseshoes, BS, etc.
(I'm sure the BS would be the main thing, right?)

Depending on when it was, my wife and I would probably come. The summer time is always very busy for us though. Between vacations, work, and other activities we keep pretty busy. But if it is open, we would proably make it.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

Why don't you guys just come up to the Benefit 4 Kids/HuntingNet.com 3-D shoot we're having in August? Raffles, auction, prizes, giveaways, big roast, 3-d shooting, etc etc.

I'll even give away a few personally autographed HuntingNet hats to some lucky individuals.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

Yeah, I might be interested depending on when, where, etc.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

Yes, please provide info. Depending on date, I may come up.

Good luck!

Same here if it dont get into the later part of August Elk season starts the 25th.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

I was thinking sometime after the summer heats passes. Maybe the weekend of National Hunting & Fishing Days at Silver Springs SP. I think its Sept 24/25 this year, but not sure.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

I would be interested. Also interested in the 3-D shoot for the site im hoping theres camping available............

RE: Illinois get together?

RE: Illinois get together?
 

The HuntingNet Benefit4Kids 3D shoot and Pig roast will take place on Saturday August 27th.

It will be in Garden Prairie IL. (close to big highways)

Be there. :D

RE: Illinois get together?
 

We can certainly make camping available at the club. There will be a very minimal amount of electricity hookups, and onlytwo water spigots on the outside of the building but that should suffice for an evening. I would imagine the clubhouse stays open most of the day and into the night as well.

I'll probably end up staying the night out there anyways just to help pick things up on Sunday.

Dang, Justin. You startin to act up, too? [8D];)

RE: Illinois get together?
 

where is garden prarie?;)
towns or roads near?
cost to shoot? and hopefully someone would have a chrono set up
to see how our bows are doing?:eek:
sounds like fun

RE: Illinois get together?
 

I would like to do anything, a shoot, a BBQ, anything, just set a date.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

Garden Prairie is between Marengo and Belvidere, IL. It's just a bit east of Rockford. Cost will be around 20-25.00 per shooter.. that includes food and a part of that goes to Benefit4Kids.

The date is August 27th.

I'll try to get a chronograph for the shoot. That will be interesting. My bow is soooo slow. :)

RE: Illinois get together?
 

Wow, that is like 3 hours away! But I will see what I can do.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

Drive faster and it's less than 3 hours. ;)

RE: Illinois get together?
 

I'm there.
Can't wait.

RE: Illinois get together?
 

That sounds like a lot of fun! But, I think my drive would be about 5 hours to get there and I don't get very good gas mileage. lol

I live in the Mchenry area so this might be something I might do,
