well i take it we dont have alot of crow hunters in our district by the overwhelming response to my first post...lol.
so i'll offer up a chuck hunt this time. i've got plenty of spots for a handfull of guys to spend the day shootin and bs'in with me in the Meadville area.......
or maybe spend the day shootin your favorite spots on your home turf that your familiar with and then head to a central locale for a body count(chucks that is...lol) and a BBQ. heck...we could even BBQ up some chucks for that matter.....lol. (i think the second option sounds like more fun personally)
well???????????? who's game??...who's interested? who wants to meet fellow Dist 5 members????

Would a district 6 guy be welcome (hey, we're both in the west, right?) :D
I joined PPHA recently, and don't know anyone in my own district yet, but district 5 is our neighbor. I like to groundhog hunt, and if we mix that with meeting some people and having BBQ, how can you go wrong?
By the way, I'm in Washington county, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh.
-
SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE FUN. LET ME KNOW WHEN AND WHERE AND WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP!!!!!!!!
-
I'm interested. I'll bring hotdogs if you guys are fixxin' to eat chucks!
-
Is that the Meadville near Lancaster? or the one above Pittsburg?
-
dist 5 is in erie area north west district. I would like to see if we could get a chuck hunt going down in district 4 to .
-
Sounds like almost every district is interested in a groundhog hunt. Can we set up a statewide varmint hunt where all the districts compete against each other?
-
I'm planning on opening this one to the whole state... if that'll do for ya'll... :twisted:
-
Sounds like fun to me I am in.
-
hey let me know dale. I would like to play a little whack a chuck some saturday
-
Sounds good to me.
-
COUNT ME IN DALE....SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME :D
-
I'm in. :mrgreen: Just let me know....When??????????? I've got the where's nailed down. Lets just hope this year its not 100 degrees and humid like last years hunt.
-

you can say that again... I'm thinking in mid to late June, need to work out details yet... I'll be letting the cat out the bag in a couple weeks... :twisted:
-
:idea: If you want a nice day for a great hog hunt thats not 100 degrees, then we need to make this hunt sometime in May. Who knows what the summer will be like with the screwred up weather we've had this past winter. It may not be a scorcher, but then again, maybe it will be. Not only that but the Alphafa and beans will be up by mid May and all the hay and remaining beans and corn will be up in June in southern PA. Just my opinion for what it's worth. :mrgreen:
-
ok... then we'll shoot for mid may... let me see what I can do about a place I got in mind for a check in and picnic...
-
Let's do this...is it going to be a "team" or individual effort? I think two man teams would make things interesting. How bout it?
-
The team approach sounds good. I'm in favor of either but its always nice to have somebody to witness that moment when you pull of a great shot for future story telling. :lol: You make the call.
-
was talking with some people today about the mid May time frame... that's out, spring turkey... can't hunt till noon... ok here's the official announcement... June 10th... Ground Hog hunt... start at sunrise... check in at 5:00PM... location to be announced... there will be a a picnic afterwards details to follow... :mrgreen:
-
so....it seems my post got hijacked by District 2 folks(just kiddin)....LMAO...anyone from District 5 have some ideas?.....Dale is setting the pace with some great ideas. i think we should follow suit (but no neck ties...Dale dont wear them...lmao...you'll have to ask him sometime what neck ties are really used for...lol) with his ideas. come on folks...lets get this pulled together.

sorry Woody, didn't mean to steal your thunder... I started a post about this somewhere but people are still yapping on here about it...
ya'll find that other post, quit getting me in trouble... :mrgreen:
just went and found it, it's in the Upcoming Events at the top of the page...
-
:lol: ............... :wink:
-
Woody,
I'm in district 6, but not too far from you district 5 folks. If something gets planned, I'm interested.
-
just my unsolicited opinion but dist 2 and dist 4 are the only ones with enough members to hold any type of district events by themselves... until we get enough members in the club through out all the districts, I'd like to see anything held open to all districts... I know it's a lot of traveling for dist 5, 6 to make stuff in the east here but at least it's available if you want to... 8) hate to see my Brothers left out in the cold due to low memberships in their districts... :mrgreen:
-
Dale,
I think it's great if all members are invited to all events. I think it's also ok if district 5 or 6 wants to host an event from time to time as well. Maybe the turnout would be much smaller, but hunters, such as myself, would get a chance to see members from my own district at a local event, as well as members from other districts at a district 2 or district 4 event. You can never have too many hunting events (just my opinion). :D
-
that's for sure... never to much fishing either... 8)
-
Maybe all the western districts could get together and hunt as a group so there would be more members attending.
Hey Woody, if your hunt is on a different week than our hunt, I'll come up and hunt with ya. Maybe even bring another member or two. I probably wont' be allowed to hunt in more than one district but I don't have to actually compete, right?? :wink: It would be another great day out hunting if nothing else. :mrgreen:
-
I didn't mean to scare everybody off. I keep to my own neck of the woods I guess. :lol:
-
if we do it in May we lose 1/2 the state where there's spring turkey hunting...
-
sorry it took me so long to respond.....i very much like the idea of having other district members up our way to the N.W corner. but i think it'll have to be a post-hunt get together....ya know...bbq, suds(your pick), weight-ins...pictures and such. i'd hate to invite all these members up to my area and not have enough turf to satisfy everyone.....letting all my property owners know what i have planned...they might not be too keen to that aspect...(all these hunters they dont even know on their land). then it turns out to be a flop and nobody has a good time. i gotta worry about gettin everyone to their respective fields to shoot over and play tour guide beings nobody will know their way around....then if somebodys field goes dry i gotta worry about getting them to another to get some shooting in and such.
i can find a place to have a bbq and weigh-ins (if ya wanna) and have a general good time meeting and greetin and tellin tall tales of our 500yd kills and all. that wouldnt be a problem....but orchastrating a hunt on enough land to keep everyones barrels warm and content is the problem...at least in my eyes. i can however guide 3-4 fellas up on my turf if anyone is interested.....i got a cam-corder and we can have some fun with that filming shots and such.
so....lets shoot for June after the spring gobbler season is over. maybe saturday the 17th??
give me some feedback everyone

Woody,
I like hunting new areas. If you want to guide a few, I'd be happy to come along. I can offer you hunting in my neck of the woods if you're ever in my area (I hunt Uniontown a lot, my father-in-law's farm).

well i take it we dont have alot of crow hunters in our district by the overwhelming response to my first post...lol.

Chino.....I'm no longer the District 5 coordinator...nor do i live in District 5 anymore. please shoot "BP" a PM...maybe he can find another member in your area for a hunt. also, you can go down to our contact page and see if anyone is close to you for a hunt.
good luck..shoot straight.

This is an old thread, eh? It looks like we were supposed to go chuck hunting sometime back in '06. We didn't get around to that yet. :D
-
paul....i belive this post was about that groundhog hunt/bbq/meeting i held a few years back...you and your daughter, critter, trappinjohn, tmonko and huntingisfun showed up.
-
OH, yeah... that was cool. I hardly ever pass up a free meal. :D
-
