Hey Art.....you gonna invite me back for next year's banquet??? Hehehehehe. 'Twas a good time last night as Mullis56, myself, Art and his family attended the banquet. Some INCREDIBLE bargains on the auction block.....things going for half as much as they should have went! I'm still kicking myself for not picking up one item in particular....... Anyhow.....I did manage to skarf up one of the guns that were given away so that was pretty cool, as well as a few door prizes. Hunting-Indiana's popularity is growing as a couple of guys knew who I was...that I hadn't met before. Ahhh the power of the internet! The highlight.....or low-light of the evening was when power was halted to the rec. center where we were due to the massive ice-storm. People were running rampant with thieved items from the auction tables in the darkness. Luckily the evening was winding down and there wasn't too much of a problem...except for the people paying via credit card. It was a great time for a great cause! Get out there and support the groups that keep the skies filled and the woods full of the animals we love so much!

That gun you won is a trader for the one you really want, right?

C'mon guys.....do you really think a room full of turkey hunters would steal auction items? Maybe a room of rabbit hunters, but certainly not turkey hunters. LOL. Nothing was stole that I was aware of, however......it would have been easy with the lights out! Prize hogs indeed Art.....prize hogs indeed!!! The joke's on Art, as soon as I got home I canceled my card and alerted the authorities that some guy in Pendleton Indiana was trying to steal my identity. Art.....you remember that fear of handcuffs that you were talking about last night??? You might wanna leave the country! Videos......turkey fryers..... at least you guys know what you won, I still can't figure out what that one camp thingy that I picked up was! No Woody..... even though Art called the gun I won a "crow-bar" I'll keep it. Firearms are like gold in my book....I've never gotten rid of any that I've accumulated to this point....no need to start now.

Mark.... The item I had my eye on was a coffee table of sorts.......it had a very cool pair of bronzed mallards taking flight, complete with cattails and such. I was sure it would go for close to $300 and it instead went for around $110. I just wasn't sure what the wife would say if I came home with it....... (there's always that voice in the back of my head.......)
