It dawned on me, somehow, it seems so appropriate that the winner should turn out to be one of our most precious assets - a Youngster. After all, it is ALL FOR THE KIDS!   :archer:

Way to go Mills! Great heart Don! That's putting your money where your mouth is. Gonna try to do more myself. Thanks.
Title: Re: !!!!!!!AND THE WINNER IS!!!!!!
Post by: Don Batten on June 10, 2012, 04:38:00 PM
Thanks to all for the kind words. I first thought about this when I was at the Spring Fling at Tannehill back in Feb. I mentioned it to Joey and he said " Yeh , I'll come" and that was all it took. I consider myself lucky to have the land  and go ahead from guys who hunt there, to offer this hunt. also I'm really excited to go down to Marty's to hunt hogs. I spent about 30 years with Marty  one afternoon in a turkey blind in Nebraska. I feel like we are life long friends. Thanks to Marty for the hog hunt offer and to all who donated prizes to this hunt.  

It also is also un believable that Bernie drew Mills's name for this hunt.  three years ago I had this turkey hunt up on the auction . It came down to Biggie Hoffman, Charles Surttles, and a guy named Michael Langehams. Well Michael won and came down with his son, Woods. We had a blast and both killed turkeys. Since then we have became good friends and gotten togather a few times for fishing / hog killin and such.
I can't think of anyone that i'd rather have win than Mills. For those that don't know, Michael has 3 girls and one son. ages are from 10 to 17? give or take a year. I got 3 boys and they are grown. The Langehans kids are the most polite and well behaved kids that I have Ever been around period. They get on each other and I'm sure have their problems. But the times Ive been around, they make me want to make a video and show my kids about how to get along. I'm looking forward to Mills shooting me some hog and turkey. (My favorite things to eat)
