Rifle Season

2012 rifle season begins nov 17th.To all Diamond BackArchers . And to all hunters keep it safe out there . I would hope that you all would  send me your pictures so we can post the on the blog. send to   kecker40@hotmail.com  .. We all look forward to the opener of gun . It has become a northwoods  tradition we all have grown up with. We all love the outdoor's,  the fun that comes with just hanging out with the guys,, My crew will do the normal we will hunt sat then go to the kasmareck shack and see how the boys have done out there and tip a few with them.. Then hunt sunday morning and come in to veiw the packers in the afternoon.. I wish the best of luck to all our members new and old.. Let us all say a prayer opening morning for all the animals that God will bless us with.. so that we can live from his grace . Nature is  a wonderful gift from God and shouldnt be taken lightly.. our jobs as sportsman are to manage the herd. and in turn help us support our familys,, When I was a younger man I never thought of it like that . I took it all for granted, I wish I could turn back the clock I would have done things differnt. We as a whole have to keep hunting alive so that our kids and their kids can have the joy that it brings us.. Also I would like to wish the schoeneck family the best and safe hunting. They are a great bunch of guys. also I will try and get on and post our luck before The weekends out.. but If I get busy I would like to say happy Thanksgiving to all of the guys.. My thanks giving will be here with my friends on friday the day after.. anyone that would like to utilize the range building for hunting. or just get together for a beer that would be cool.. I will have the heat on all weekend.. God bless you all.. have a great nine day hunt with your loved ones and friends..          D,B.A

Freemans 2012 -10 pointer congrats. This is why we shoot all summer so we can harvest animals like this. we are all happy for you.. nice job buddy . It would take one heck of a buck to top that one ..

sorry for the long pause

sorry all ,I have been busy and alot has been going on. I took a new job driving truck . I have not had the time to post on here as i would like,, we have a few new members this year. scott. jason, don. and glen. we are always wanting to promote the sport of archery and we welcome all who want to become a future members of our team.. The last few weeks has started of slow but as fall aproches, the smell comes in the air .. bucks are in velvet and fawns are on the rise. last week it was a great time hot . but all and all was a fun time.. freeman picked up the roofing material. As soon as it cools off. we will have to slap it on.. my son mat has been gone in bomb training in alabama for the last few weeks . The guys all miss him hope he can join us again soon.. Also he and his wife are expecting a little one in dec. That will make me a grampa. I cant wait that is so cool.. I have not been shooting this year, like I know i can so i will buy some arrows next week and start geting back with the program.. we all hope that tony and mike will be able to join us soon as there jobs have been geting in the way. we all miss them . scott schoeneck has donated some cherry boards for the front and back of our range building our thanks goes out to him that saves us a ton of cash that can go twards newer targets next year.. we all missed ray brigs last week as he was under the weather and wasnt up to walking the course.. as hot as it was I would have just set in the club house with him. but I decided to shoot. Seems to me all the newer members are starting to realy injoy themselfs. it always takes awhile to get to know everyone and settle in with the group.. our main goal this year is to complete as much of the range building as posible so next year we can up grade and improve targets and the range.. i would also like to do a summer party and a fall party this year I would like your input on that. see ya all next week .. mike
