Glad to hear you are coming, Richard! YOU have some "bean spilling" to do, but not til the banquet! Keep us guessing...
Yes, we need some more kids! And some more turkey callers!
I just saw an update on numbers...outstanding! I hope I don't forget anything...!

Check out the PBS website to see a newly posted list of vendors coming to set up at the banquet!

Speaking of PBS banquet vendors, I just checked out Ed Wentzler's website, Lost Arts Trade Company. Really cool stuff ya got there, Ed!

Biggie Hoffman · March 06, 2008, 11:21:00 AM

Ed is a Master craftsman...plus he's a cool guy :-)
I have a box call he made oh, 15 years ago...a functional work of art

Just received an updated room list from the hotel. We are gonna have one big crowd of bowhunters! Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

Kevin Bahr · March 08, 2008, 01:39:00 PM

Wow, Tom! Coming all the way from PERU...now THAT'S impressive! See you there!

Kevin Bahr · March 11, 2008, 07:12:00 AM

We have now added a slide show presentation that will be shown while we are eating the evening banquet meals. The photos that will be included have all been contributed by PBS members across the country so it looks to be fun and entertaining! Thanks to PBS member Terry Receveur for stepping up and volunteering to oversee this great idea!

I am just finishing this bow for donation at the banquet. It is a 66" LH longbow that is 56# @ 28". The riser is Bocote and Wenge and the limbs are Maple and Zebrawood.

Well for a variety of reasons I'm not going to make it:-( Was really looking forward to seeing everyone but I guess I'll have to be there in spirit only. Dang.

Kevin Bahr · March 11, 2008, 06:46:00 PM

That's not good news, Don. I was looking forward to meeting you! Hope you can sneak away and show up anyway.

Ken, thanks for the beautiful donation! We will most certainly put it to good use!

alligatordond · March 11, 2008, 08:21:00 PM

Thanks Kevin,As they say, family first. I do want to hear all the stories though when y'all get back .

I'm starting to wonder...
Did Joey Buchanan's article in TBM scare off any potential challengers in the PBS Turkey Calling Contest?
I bet there might be SOMEONE out there to give him some competition...
Make sure you sign up for the contest if you are coming to the banquet. We have some great prizes for the winners! Besides, it will be fun and that's what this is really all about.

JohnV · March 13, 2008, 01:48:00 PM

I've heard Joey call turkeys before. Goes like this...

"yelp, yelp, yelp, y-all!"
"yelp, yelp, yelp, y-all!"

alligatordond · March 13, 2008, 04:06:00 PM

Turn yella on Joey B??? Nahh If anything I would have entered just to give him someone to whip.

joebuck · March 13, 2008, 05:13:00 PM

I am going to get smoked! Pa is turkey country. There is some ole boys laying low KB, trust me. i might have to wear my Gobbler costume for style points. JohnnyV is right, i'm trying to shorten up my ya---lp. i wish i could bring my 5 year old son..he has the prettist little hen yelp with his natural voice...of coarse I just swell up when he does it

Biggie Hoffman · March 13, 2008, 06:48:00 PM

If you can get Joey into the right rythm, he'll break out into the Ole Miss fight song.....

joebuck · March 13, 2008, 08:28:00 PM

"Hotty Toddy ,gosh almighty yada yada yada.....Ole Miss we ain't worth a dam"........Biggie and Marty are going to enter as a couple team event.Biggie works the pot call while Marty whispers on the cell phone.

Kevin Bahr · March 17, 2008, 04:09:00 AM

Well, by all indications from another thread on Tradgang, maybe we should change the turkey calling contest to a Double Bull "erecting" contest... We could have time trials and everything!

PBS in Pittsburgh, Who's going?

It looks like everyone will be there! The PBS site just posted that the Friday and Saturday Dinners are sold out. I think you can still get in on the BBQ and day activities, raffles and such, but the evening dinners are maxed out.

That's a lot of good people in one place!
