I'll be Turkey hunting that week about 5 hours away and have thought about heading over for a day or two. The Bowsite meet and greet would definitelly be on the itinerary. I just need a date and time so I can make some plans.
From: Charlie Rehor

In all likelihood it will Friday 3 pm to 5 pm. When it's finalized we'll let you know. C

"Beer Brawl"... Hmmm... settle some bowsite scores, eh? Maybe bring in some "trad guys" and "compounders" to debate?
From: Brotsky

I think we need to have a cover charge So Pat don't have to pull out his card . I have been to every one so far and its good to put a face on bowsite posters. Every lunch or dinner has a ticket you have to buy. And I know Pat is having to put out some coin to get a room add the booze and I think its got out of hand. and if all had to buy a $10 ticket it mite help the bill.

Be great to have a cover high enough that we could not only cover expenses but have a little for Pat to donate to St. Jude or some other worthy cause.
Be good if something GOOD could actually come out of our lies,tales and distortions....

Is Zac going to volunteer to be the bouncer?
From: Mark Watkins
10-Jan-17
If Zack is our "bouncer" we are all in deep sh!t!
Genesis nailed it (as he often does)......$10-$20 cover...

From: Genesis
10-Jan-17
As Dan said...let's get out in front of this.... $10 Cover for every no shootin,can't scoutin',string jumper that walks in $20 for guys posting here over 10 years....Executive Membership if you will. If you don't know how long....$20 for being clueless :)
Is their a second????
From: kota-man
10-Jan-17
Can I second it if I'm not going to be there this year?
From: TD
10-Jan-17
I thought our Bowsite membership fees covered it..... .
$10 cover would be cheap. When the beer ran out last time a CAN of beer was $6 or$8..... might as well been Hawaii.....
Make it $30. I'm not gonna be able to make it this year..... =D
From: Buffalo1
10-Jan-17
I favor a cover charge.
Would there be an single event charge and then maybe a life time charge fee ( with fee break for 65 and older) ?
From: The last savage
10-Jan-17
Im in the 20 $$ range....I second the motion....
From: Heat
10-Jan-17
Heck the way some of you guys are talking you could live stream this event and sell pay per view access!
From: Forest bows
10-Jan-17
I have seen you guys drink 10$ is not going to cover it
From: midwest
10-Jan-17
All in favor....aye!

Oh..... never mind.... wrong place..... different tags....
From: IdyllwildArcher
12-Jan-17
Looking forward to it. A cover is absolutely a good idea. And 10 bucks is not going to cover the kind of beer we put away. Pat, I still say you just look the other way as we smuggle in some booze. Many of us have done this sort of thing on many occasions in many different venues. We probably have as much cumulative alcohol-smuggling experience as we do cumulative bowhunting experience.
From: EmbryOklahoma
12-Jan-17
Okay, I'll smuggle and take money at the door.
From: TD

Geez Embry.....it's amazing.... just like the last place I recall I paid a cover charge...... would you wear a suit???

13-Jan-17
I really thought that you guys had more smarts than you are showing. The show is in St. Louis, Anheuser Busch is in St. Louis and the Clydsdales are in St. Louis. A very reliable source has told me that Pat has contracted to have the horses and their wagon bring the suds to the meet and greet. Our fearless leader will always go the extra mile to take care of his boys. Stay thristy my friends.
From: EmbryOklahoma

TD... I sure would. I could bounce if needed. :)

I am probably getting into town for 2 days only, and am trying to plan which days. I've been trying to find a schedule of the seminars and haven't had much luck. I'm thinking Friday-Saturday, but Thursday-Friday is probably in play too. Waiting on the M&G and schedule to be finalized.
Also wondering how long the banquets last? Anyone care to fill me in a bit?
From: JSW

The schedule for the convention should go out this week. Things are really coming together so be prepared to have a great time.

Who all plans to shoot in the 3D tourney? I am driving so I could bring my bow so Ed doesn't go postal when no one shoots;) Plus, it will be a much more sober event than the golf outing was in Phoenix!
From: Teeton
23-Jan-17
I've been trying to find someone for here in Pa to drive out with me. So far I have not found anyone. Where I live in Northeast Pa it's about 15 or 16 hour drive. So if anyone's planning on driving out from out this way and would like to get together and drive out with me let me know. Ed

I was just looking at the registration info from the email blast and also wondered about the 3D. I'm flying down, but I'd bring my bow to shoot in the 3D.
From: Charlie Rehor
23-Jan-17
My understanding is all entered will compete in a shoot off until a winner is determined who then faces cityhunter in the finals. ha ha ha!
From: midwest
23-Jan-17
Charlie....who's cityhunter? I think he fell off the face of the earth.
From: BOWUNTR
23-Jan-17
I'll tell you right now I'm pulling the last convention thread and will have roll call for all those that wanted the 3D... you know who you are. We're gonna have it and it's gonna be fun. We can have a shoot off, money shoot, naked shoot... whatever you guys want. Ed F
From: Buffalo1
23-Jan-17
I thought everyone was going to have to use the same bow so there would be equality. Then the winner will have a face off with City. City drew a "bye" in the first round- his amazing shooting skills exempted him from eliminations.
Also heard that everyone is going to get a trophy- don't want anyone going home with feelings hurt.
From: EmbryOklahoma
23-Jan-17
"Naked shoot"? Yea, I'm out. I draw the line at hugging.

Pat,
Are you going to pull some political strings and have Donald, Jr. at the Meet & Greet?
From: TD

Geez Danny.... looks like ya even fooled Melanie..... she's about to move to the next table..... heheheheh.....

Lotta big dead animals among that bunch! Got my schedule rearranged so I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to it!

Lou,
Your retired and you had to rearrange your schedule ? LOL
From: Ward's Outfitters
13-Feb-17
Here's an Idea, Lets do a raffle, $$ a ticket winner get a free Az Coues deer hunt, and we can donate the funds to a good charity ? What do you guys think?
From: Jaquomo
13-Feb-17
Great idea on the raffle! I'm also all in favor of paying a "cover" to defray Pat's expenses.
Greg, I'm as busy as I was when I was in the corporate world, just don't have to get on airplanes every week. Get up and turn on the coffee maker, get dressed, drink coffee and read the paper, breakfast, check Bowsite, shoot bow, work on an article, run errands, take a nap, maybe fish or go for a hike or bike ride or work out while wife is fixing something I broke, check Bowsite, piddle around with some hunting or fishing stuff, check Bowsite again, watch wife make dinner while I read some more, eat, watch a little TV or a movie, check Bowsite for the late night drunk posts, sleep, start over again. Grueling, but I've trained all my life to prepare. Like training for a sheep hunt, only different!
From: Mad Trapper
14-Feb-17
Just got registered. Now I have to start working on my tales.. err accurate accounts. With the sucesses that Pat had this past year on whitetails, I understand that he is going to be holding a seminar on scent control. I can't wait. I am bringing the hot dogs!
From: Zackman
14-Feb-17
Somehow I missed this and all the trash-talk earlier. Mark/Kota/Buffalo, I would love to volunteer as bouncer.
First of all, I would let everyone in because I don't discriminate when it comes to drinking. And I would enforce a strict "two-drink minimum" to ensure that everyone is having fun. And if anyone gets rowdy, I would make sure they are escorted out of the event and over to my section at the bar, because I have many a good friendship with others that have a different description of "moderation."
This should be a lot of fun!
From: Genesis
14-Feb-17
Steven,that's mighty gracious ,but for me I'm already booked for your august hunt! I definitely think we should raise a little money for charity if someone like Pat /Charlie will scheme it for us
From: TD
14-Feb-17
I thought Bowsite WAS a charity????? Have I been sending my checks to the wrong place????
From: Genesis
15-Feb-17
TD..... makes sense....
From: Mark Watkins
16-Feb-17
OK, am registered, we have our "bouncer Zack," Steven's Coues charity giveaway, the meet and greet, 3D shoot, some awesome speakers....
St Louis will be a blast!

I would love to go and get rowdy and bounced outta there but timing is awful as I'll be getting rolling on Spring bear camp baiting and setup. Wish it was held in March so I could attend but will have to wait til I retire from guiding at age 97. Have fun boys and give Pat a noogie for me.

Pat is like Trump, doesn't like hostile press spreading fake news. That's why he isn't responding.
