I've only used a Facebook account once, trying to contact Kathy Long.  She never responded, so I have never used it since.  I just activated it again and "entered", I guess.

I'm telling you guys.. I love this forum!!! it's the only one I'm a part of and it seems to have some awesome members!!!! Bandito I just had to put one of those little guys in there.... LOL... 

This Elk hunt will be absolutely OFF THE FREAKIN CHART!  I am really looking forward to many more great discussions and tons of good feedback... I thank you all so much for your support. My only Guarantee is.... I will NEVER and I mean NEVER endorse a product unless I sincerely feel it is what I'm saying it is... Sponsors can take their money and shove it, I Respect My Name more than a paycheck. Now if I'm wrong about something, I expect you guys to tell me I'm wrong, but my opinions are tested and sincere. 

I can't wait to see who I'll be hunting with. 

Our outfitter is Brad Carnahan and his outfitting business is Trout Creek Elk Hunts. this will be a memory you never forget. troutcreekelkhunts.com 

thanks everybody!

Hey, Robert... say an OT member or members ends up being selected to go on this hunt.  Would it be possible for another OT member who didn't get selected to tag along as a non-hunting guest just to enjoy the trip if said guest pays their own way?

Ted, asking if you can tag along when I win the hunt?  Little preemptive, but I might just take you along, maybe.

This is all about a dream hunt.... under the right circumstances I don't see why there would be a problem with that.... Please understand that this is a Burris deal but I'm kinda brokering it.... I'll work for my boyz at the OT!!!Yippee 

Why don't you guys blow up some emails and get this thing going... I don't want to have to wait till summer to give the trip away.... sooner we get to a thousand, the sooner we find out who needs to start packing! Shocked

Thanks Chris for putting this post up! 

Hollar at you boys later.... I'm about to go test drive an extremely hot Blonde haired Rifle that stands about 5'9", is wearing high heels and is currently wondering why I'm still on the computer!Mean Computer

Alright, I can't use Facebook for professional reasons, but I liked it through my wife's account.  I hope that is kosher.

It would really be something to win a trip like that. 

If I win, do I have to use an Eliminator?

I'm sorry!  Just kidding!  Just Kidding! I couldn't resist.  I think it would be the best field evaluation I can think of!

BTW Robert your really coming along on your emoticons!  Wink

Glad you stuck around.

I really appreciate all the OT support. You guys are a fine group and I'm honored to be a member. Alan I think it's cool you picked up on my TGBTG.... if you go to my website and read the "Who we are" page, you'll get the full story of where that term came from..... the short version is me sitting on a porch in Fiji when i was 19. no cars, no electricity and no idea how the heck I got there... the man I was sitting next to, looked at me and said "you had nothing to do with getting here, your just living what God has for ya" 

I finished my journal entry that night with "To God Be The Glory".... many nights later and to tired to write much, I simply wrote TGBTG. it stuck! That phrase is a part of my everyday life. 

not to preach guys..... just thought I'd through that out there so you didn't think it was some kind of souther cracker swamp slang.....

later.

I can see it being a huge help to much of what I do.... putting together a couple videos of the Eliminator today.... will post them.

I'd like to put in my request now for a medium rare prime ribeye and some good single malt scotch for at least one dinner.  Whether we eat smoked cornish game hens, lobster, or grilled sea scallops wrapped in bacon on the other dinners, I'll leave entirely up to you.  After all, I'm easy to please and don't want to appear greedy.

Hey you guys... I just explained the next trip we're giving away. you and a guest will join me on an incredible 100% free range, fair chase Gator hunt in South Florida. If we tag out early, we can hog hunt or go out in the boat fishing off shore. (Bahama 41 triple 300 outboards) 

the fun has just begun!!!
