We have had a small private "BDO" It was a group of us that have hunted together, and we all set a date, went to the national forest, and bbq'ed, camped, and hunted. We hunted Sat Am, Sat PM, and Sun AM. Matt chickened out on the Saturday evening hunt. Something about his wife's birthday.....
I have seen the videos and heard too much negative to have an open BDO that I would want to be involved with. Too many people, too many dogs, and too many personalities.
The private "BDO's" are fun, as long as everyone's ego is left at the house. If someone wants to try to put one together, I will do what I can to help.
Diesel and second mortgage. You are not kidding, fuel prices have slowed us down.
