Title: Illinois Fun Shoot 2018
Post by: JoeShmoe on May 02, 2018, 09:13:34 PM
Hello Folks!

Now's the time to vote. Which Saturdays would you be UNABLE to attend a fun shoot at Hickory Hills Rod and Gun Club? I plan on hosting two this year, and they'll be spread at least five weeks apart. This poll will stay up more or less indefinitely, but the dates will be set roughly three weeks from now. Let me know if these dates coincide with some large event I'm unaware of.

Happy shooting!
Joe

According to my calendar, September 22-26 is Rimfire Central's annual Shawnee Forest Squirrel Hunt.   ;D

Looking forward to this. I'll have to check for "unable to attend" dates and post back.

If I get to come I will try to bring buddies! 

Of course, the deeper it gets into squirrel season, the harder it will be to drag folks out of the woods!!

I did not pick anything but would love to attend.  My life is not planned out well enough to know anytime in advance but I WILL make at least one of these shoots this year!!

The first month to six weeks of squirrel season is what I affectionately call "snake, bug and tick season".   It's usually quite warm and undergrowth is still heavy, lots of sweat and scratching involved.  Of course, I have been known to go anyway...

Ahhhh! See date change. After all that work trying not to overlap things, I was told I have to be at an art festival on the 29th.
