Off Season Prep

Off season isn't all fun and games. There's work that needs to be done.

Ram versus Deer

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait until you see this video of a ram and a buck locking horns. Who's going to win this one? ram said, "You goin' down MOFO" The buck said, "Bring it on little man. I eat punks like you for breakfast" - GAME ON!!

Thanks Chris Toliver for sending this one over.

Ballow's Famous Texas Chili

I just received a case of my favorite chili seasoning mix. This should last me from BBHE until the end of the cold season. THIS is what makes BBHE chili taste so awesome!

OK, so now that I study it a little more, I may have to get one more case before Spring. 

Guest Hunter Profile - Jonathan Burnett

So, who is this guy we'll be hunting with? Good question.

Jonathan Burnett (JB) is a master stone mason from Richmond Virginia. I met JB at the beach in North Carolina about 5 years ago.

JB is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran (we appreciate your service), an avid podcast listener and an insatiable listener of self-help audio books.

JB is dedicated to his family and in my opinion, one heck of a family man. I wasn't sure we were going to ever be able to pull him away for this hunt.

JB says that his main goal on this trip is to learn how to skin an animal. The idea that he is a meat eater and doesn't know how to take an animal from hoof to hearth is unacceptable to him.

I am super excited to have JB as a guest hunter this year. (He's the goober in the middle)

Mixed Emotions

It brings me great sadness to announce that Yagermeister Martin Riedel will not be joining us again this year for BBHE. He will be sorely missed, however, if we get another buck like we did last year, he may be prohibited from returning. (Only kidding Don Martin)

On a happier note, Martin will not be joining us because one of his sons will be married in Germany. That's why he can't join us.

I will post wedding photos as soon as they become available

BBHE 2019 - We Got Us a Live One

This year my good friend Jonathan Burnett has accepted the invitation to join us on the hunt. He bought his license last week and his plane ticket today.

THINGS ARE HEATIN' UP BABY

BBHE 2019 Kickoff - 10th Anniversary

Good Morning Buzzard Bluff Hunters!!

Yes, it is that time of year again, only 66 more days. Time to start thinking about what we are going to eat while we sit around the campfire and telling lies about what we did while hunting and killing animals. Yep, this kind of stuff isn’t for the faint of heart. Only the men of men have what it takes to belly up to this bar and trade licks with the likes of us. For those who have the “Right Stuff” and can survive until the next meal, you will be rewarded with sustenance that will fuel your engines and build your stamina so you can re-enter the arena and fight again.

If you’re thinking something fancy-schmancy, then you should probably sit this one out and come back when you become a real hunter. Our motto is, “If it doesn’t hurt when you eat it, then it aint worth eating.” Our coffee is served with a knife and fork, the beans are scraped from the bottom of the pot, and all of the meat is served jerky style. If you’re not up to the challenge, then you might consider moving back in with your mom and letting her cut your meat for you. There is no space around the campfire for people like you.

This year, the menu will probably look very similar to the menu from last year because the response was overwhelmingly positive. We consider a positive response any meal that doesn’t end with uncontrolled projectile vomiting, botulism, or salmonella. Last year everybody was POSITIVE that all of the food was not fit for human consumption.

However, nothing is set in stone. If you have any special requests, or if you feel up to lifting your lazy butt off that log and cooking something special for the boys, then now is the time to voice your opinion. To request a change to the menu, simply mail a letter to BBHE, c/o Vice-President of Gastro Stimulation, P.O. Box 275896, Rudy, Arkansas. All requests must be received in the office no later than noon on the second Tuesday of the third week of October. All requests that do not arrive in time for the deadline will be processed into toilet paper to be used during the 2019 hunting season.

Cooler space is limited so it is important that the Gastro Stimulation department have an accurate head-count so that the correct amount of supplies can be flown in. The menu committee needs to know who will be attending which meals. If you sign up for a meal and are unable to attend said meal, the food supplies that you ordered and did not use will be air dropped onto the windshield of your car sometime between Monday and Friday of the week following the annual hunt, between the hours of 7:00am and 10:00pm. You will be responsible for all damages that may result from the air drop.

The same rules apply this year as they did last year. For all of you numb-skulls that have already forgotten the rules, I will review them again.

1. The cook does NOT have to clean dishes, pots, pans, and eating utensils after each meal. He has sacrificed much to ensure that you have a camping culinary experience that is second to none. If you don’t care enough to do a little clean-up after the meal, then he may, at his discretion, urinate or spit in the next meal he prepares for you.
2. Anybody who complains about the quality of any meal will be required to prepare the next meal. (“It tastes like shit, but GOOD shit”)

That is all for now. It is time to start polishing your guns, sharpening your knives, and pulling your hunting clothes out of the closet. Shine your boots and get ready for the 10^th Annual Buzzard Bluff Hunting Extravaganza.

WHO'S GOIN' HUNTIN' WITH US?
