RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Duke, if you hunt in KY at HH with Germ, are you bringing Justin there to?? :eek:[8D]I dont know if i could see that [:'(]J/K:D

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Actually blood.. I really really want to hunt in KY this season with Germ. Unfortunately Justin is getting married that weekend so i will be unable to go.[:@]

I am bound and determined to hunt in KY in 2009 if Germ makes the trip again.

freakin' weddings keep getting in the way of my seasons... I have 5 during this next autumns deer season.. although i am only attending 2.. my poor wife has to go without.;) She's not happy.

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

scratching head :eek:so now your marrying Justin? :eek::D Man it would be nice if you could make it, would be a blast ;)

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

I know.. it would be. And I'd love to take a big KY buck down early.:D

But I'm the bestman at the Justin shindig.. I can't bail on him.. he's my boy. (in an extremely hetro way.)[8D]

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Duke being i cannot Kill a buck tell Mrs. Duke I will take her:D

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

I'll extend the invite.

I need to send you these broadheads which have been on my desk for like a month now.[&:] I am leaving right now for the post office Germ. 6 broadheads and a batch of 6 O'rings will be mailed today to please both you and my wife.:)

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Jealousy is a stinky cologne my friends. ;)

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

sorry[&:][8D]

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

O.K. It took me a few days but I did it. I've got 3bows to give awaylike we did two years ago. Like last time, they're not camo but hey, what do you expect for free?...;)

We'll do this the same way we did last time, the first person of each day that stops by the booth and introduces themselves by their HNI name will receive one of the bows. The winner each day (except the last day[8D]) will get to choose which bow they want.

I think I'll also add a new rule, past winners can't win again so...Christine...You're out of luck...

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

OK, well after reading this I have come to the conclusion that duke and justin are in some kind of relationship, bowtech might give me a bow, I am going to see some of you there, and someone is getting married..... at the expo? BAH you guys drive me crazy! and thats why I keep coming back! ARGH (:

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Aww.. [>:] I gave the one I won away as part ofa gift package to a friend. (Hey, I'm nice like that. [8D]) Thanks again BowTech_Shooter!


DeerSlayer, I could tell you stories of the many nights Justin and I spent in motel rooms and such. But nevermind... I do have some pictures tho'! I could never replace DukeMichaels for him though.

BTW, come check out our big fish. It's bigger than most deer. ;)

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Um...................[:-]

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

...and christine, just change your name[8D]

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

I don't care much for stories anyways.... [:'(]I'll take your word on it .... [:-]

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Never been to it, it would be a couple of hours away for me to go there.

Went to the Boat, Sport, and Travel Show in Indy today.

Would this be worth the 2+ hour drive for me to go to it for a day?

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

YES, what else are you gonna do in this weather?

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Christine, I could tell you stories of a time when Justin and I spent a weekend in an old farm house!!! But for the life of me I can't remember a thing????:DDarn whiskey anyways!!!! Walt

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

LOL, thats the thing I suppose, getting there in this weather and trying to find someone to go with!

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

And I don't wanna hear any whiny stories about how people couldn't make it because of the weather(Right, Donnie? [8D])-- seeing as how I left out from Jackson this morning at 7:45 in two inches of ice and have been driving through it all morning... There's still ice and sleet to each side of me as I look out my car windows right now at 70 mph... :D

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Greg, you got that right!! There's no crying in deer hunting!!

I'll see you Sunday, Greg. Looking forward to shaking your hand finally.....That is, if I can find you.....:eek::D

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

OK, I just pulled into a McDonald's here in Springfield after driving the last hour or so at 40 mph... You'll catch no grief from me Don if you don't make it -- it's terrible driving conditions right now out here. Hopefully, this will clear up some by Sunday.

If try and come, better come to theBowtech boothfirst thingas I might try to clear out early if it takes me as long to get home as it's taking me to get there...

I may have to have Pat or Dan give me a shoulder massage when I get there; this has been some pretty tense driving. :)

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

You guys please be careful out there. Driving on ice is no joke.

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

I am heading up Sunday. Hopefully the roads will be better by then.

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Here in Bloomington the roads aren't too bad at all. The snow seems to be to the south and east mostly. Should clear up by this evening in IL. (hopefully!) Be careful out there.

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Don't look like I'll make it. Right now the local roads are horrible, thick ice everywhere. Besides I'd have to drive myself. Good luck to everyone going and be careful.

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

Ahhh man...you mean I can't win again? Can I trade the shiney blue one you gave me in on the new color? I am not much of a target shooter, so the shiny blue really doesn't doo much for me. But you will feel good knowing that I have kept my bow even though I did not like the color. I mean really, I could have sold it or traded it for a better color, but it would have cost me some to do it!! I will stop in to meet the new guy in the booth, I met you other 2 yahoos when I got my new bow and then again last year.

I should be there sometime on Saturday, I will make it a point to find Todd this year. Don't go walking away from your booth!! I expect to get my signed copy of the new video while I am there!!

It sure would be nice to have a nice camo huntingnet hat to wear, the only hat I have is orange and I hate wearing an orange hat out in public. But I will wear my nice long sleave shirt from last...if I remember. It has huntingnet down the sleeve.

So if you see a fat dumpy guy wearing a camo JEEP hatwith a blonde wife and 2, possibley 3 blonde kids in tow that is me. Slap me upside the head and say hey!!

RE: Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic!
 

You guys are killing me! My Mom lives in Bloomington and I grew up in Macomb. I have been going to this thing since it started in Peoria. I would really love to be there this weekend, but I have to work. If you ever think of starting your own business, don't let anyone fool you with that "make your own schedule" crap ;). I hope you all have a good time and those of you who are driving any distance have safe trips. I look forward to seeing pics.
