DUDE! I agree...it's been waaaaaaaay too long. You should contact Greg Campbell...he's making a new head similar to the big sharks..I think you'll like 'em!

I feel the energy. Can you say group hug? LOL. DB

Biggie Hoffman · April 30, 2010, 08:11:00 AM

I'm in as long as we keep our shirts on.

Don Batten · April 30, 2010, 08:02:00 PM

Biggie, as I read above post my eyes drifted over to you avatar. Hate to sound like Dude, but we might have to make a few more rules. LOL DB

Yall boys are having too much fun for me not too join in.Don, if you need a camp cook i think Brent is available to cook the biscuits over a campfire.I wish we lived a little closer together,Craven county is the only place not two hours from Moncure in your famous words(i'm moving to Moncure you are two hours or less from everything).I guess i'll see you and Bernie before too long.Congrats on you fellas for the donation and for the birds.Don,if a bear hunt comes up i think i'll outbid em if i can.Later,Preston

What the heck.....Take your shirt off Biggie. You too Joey. Smear yourself down with lard and wrestle it out. Thats how we do it hear in Carolina.

John...........no

Don Batten · May 05, 2012, 06:06:00 AM

alot of old threads brought back lately. Thought I'd bring this one back as we are fast approaching the st jude bid wars.

On forum 5 I have put this hunt back up for the 2013 season. With a new twist.

I'll be starting a new thread on pow wow soon with more info. Let's just say that I hope the winner is close enough to drive. Got alot of prizes donated for this one. Don

John Dill · May 07, 2012, 08:37:00 PM

So glad you found tis thread, Don. I was still looking for the pics from it , and about to go to CDs that I had transferred a lot of my photo files to - and that's a veritable "dark forest" to enter unaccompanied - LOL.

I really enjoyed re-reading the thread and re-living the hunt. Looking forward to the fun this year in the auction - and the hunt (next Spring) - good Lord willing.

My take on the new "Twists 'n turns" Don has planned for the offer this year is: "BIGGER 'N BETTER" for the kids of St. Jude!!!

ALSO and this is important FAIRER AND MORE POSSIBLE FOR EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF TRADGANG.

Trust me - BE AT THE AUCTION, and check Don's offer out, or you will be kicking your butt all over your own back yard next Spring - when you just as easily could have been here with us - no matter What your status is, or what shape your "pockets" are in. DON HAS THE PLAN that may help define a lot of hunts in future St. Jude Auctions, IN MY OPINION.

GO, DON (always knew Tom raised him up with good sense for some worthwhile reason -

)

ttt - for the kids!

Cory Mattson · May 09, 2012, 09:56:00 AM

Friends - EVERYONE must buy a ticket - This place is an excellent property for wild turkeys besides being totally beautiful and a bunch of other wildlife lives there too. Joey has forgotten more than all the other "turkey pros" put together know - worth the travel just for the learning experience - and Don B is an awesome host - he is CONSTANTLY scouting and planning - putting up blinds - and he does this with a soft footprint - NOT spooking game - glassing long distance - NOT overcalling -just "knowing" where to put you and when to put you there. You are going to learn a lot from him too - I have never seen a guy make taking a turkey with a bow look so easy! He did it twice this year and hardly even worked at it

joebuck · May 09, 2012, 01:50:00 PM

Thanks Cory! i will bust my tail to get whoever a shot or shoot myself

))

Besides

forget the hunting!! i am coming for the vittles!

Don Batten · May 09, 2012, 07:09:00 PM

Cory, nice pic. and thanks for the nice comments. We are gonna start a new thread soon and advertise this hunt for what it is. Joey, you better drop 20lbs before this hunt.

joebuck · May 09, 2012, 07:45:00 PM

Why? you dont think i can fit in that golf cart now?

ber643 · May 09, 2012, 09:14:00 PM

It couldn't hurt to look through this again (but don't miss the tail end either - LOL)
