GIVEAWAY Merry PBS Christmas from Steve & Steve

Benha · December 04, 2010, 02:12:00 PM

I'm in and thanks!

I would love to become a member of PBS, but for now will have to forgo a membership due to the loss of my second job and the extra income it provided... a $800 a month loss I might add.

I am a member of the PBS forum, and love the information that is available there. I have but one way to hunt, and that is with a traditional bow in hand with no gadgets, no extra's and passing on the traditional values that we as traditional bowhunters so passionatly love.

Its just a way of life for me.

I agree! I'd love to be a member as well!

You know, as a person who has been on the PBS front lines (not only at the buffets) for many decades, I have seen dozens upon dozens of examples of the types of people who make up this great organization. PBS is a brotherhood unlike any fraternity I have ever known. When I hear hotel employees comment at our banquets "I've worked here for over 20 years and never seen anything like this. Not a single ashtray request. Doesn't anyone in this room smoke cigarettes?" "Why do your members get all choked up when its time to go home?" "You people sure seem to be close. Is this some sort of family reunion?" We know why we are the way we are because we understand each other. There is a sincere element of pride in knowing we all think alike. We don't belong to PBS, we belong IN it. For those who haven't had a taste, I encourage you to join for one year. Put my name on the list to donate a membership. I am also forwarding this link to multiple people on my mailing list and encourage other members to do the same.

ArcticArcher · December 04, 2010, 08:13:00 PM

Like many, I've looked into joining and have been procrastinating. I would be honored to be considered for membership.

Thanks Gene! Very well said! These guys even have a little fun once in a while as well.

This is our very own Biggie Hoffman putting a beat down on Too Short (Paul Brunner). That's Barry Wensel making sure Biggie doesn't hurt the little guy!

Steve O · December 05, 2010, 07:31:00 AM

Come on TradGangers put your name in the hat for a "test drive" of PBS. I'm partial, but I'm certain that you will become a life long member after the free trial. It really is made up of the best bowhunters and people ever. Just as an example of the people who are PBS quality, take a look at the photo. This is a great photo of two phenomenal bowhunters (Paul & Bart) who were taken from us too early, but who I have no doubt left the world knowing that they truly LIVED!

One I have not investigated please put me in. And thanks

Biggie Hoffman · December 06, 2010, 10:10:00 AM

Browning is a Regular Member and also a regular speaker at our banquets.

Winterhawk1960 · December 06, 2010, 10:52:00 AM

Please put me in for a chance. I thought someone had to pledge for you to get into the PBS or something.

and......Thank-YOU for the opportunity.

This post got me off of my butt, I joined yesterday. I can honestly say that I haven't yet met a member of PBS that I didn't immediately gravitate to.

David

IndianaBowman · December 06, 2010, 11:59:00 AM

Welcome David! I'm surprised you weren't a member. I'd thought Holchin would've sold you on the idea! You will fit right in. Thank you for joining. I think by posting here you are eligible for the drawing and if you win you can be reimbursed on get a 2nd year.

Here's another one of Monty with his World Record Asiatic Buffalo. A true Southern gentleman!

5deer · December 06, 2010, 02:22:00 PM

please add me too for a chance and thank you.

He did Terry, and I was for a couple of years and then let it slip.......not this time though.....

bawana bowman · December 06, 2010, 09:20:00 PM

This is a great opportunity for anyone that has considered joining to see what their missing, free for 1 year. Best magazine and group you'll ever be associated with!

Steve O · December 06, 2010, 10:33:00 PM

Winterhawk--another one of the misconceptions people have about the PBS. Anyone can join as an associate member. And you can stay an associate forever. If you want to apply for regular membership, you need to be sponsored by a regular member who works through the regular membership application with you.

L. E. Carroll · December 07, 2010, 04:15:00 AM

Thomas Burns, whom I met and had the great pleasure of sharing my "Spring Black Bear" hunt with Homer Ocean Charters with, and subsequently has become a good friend, recently did "Just This Very Thing" for me..

"Thank you so much Thomas".. It was something I should have done years ago, and I'm enjoying so much now...

I am really looking forward to seeing Thomas again, and meeting his whole family when the PBS Banquet comes to Portland Ore. in 2012.
