Wish I could attend. Just spent $1500 on the front end steering for the 08 Tacoma. Some one said, " Oh, those Tacoma's' last for a life time!". Yea, who's life time?. Yea, 5 cents at at time. Have fun guys.

From: IdyllwildArcher

Jeff, sounds like a lot of fun with some adrenaline thrown in.....
From: Shug
09-Mar-23
Pat… Just for your consideration… The Fred Bear Society reception falls into that time frame….. 4:30-6 pm
From: Charlie Rehor
09-Mar-23
Shug: So you’ll miss the last 30 minutes of the Meet & Greet or you can show up at at your Blue Coat affair 30 minutes late. Play it by ear and make it a last second decision.
From: Pat Lefemine
09-Mar-23
Shug, it was PY who provided me with the time slot, not my call.
From: BOHNTR
09-Mar-23
Shug:
I’m making a quick appearance at FBS, without my 60’s polyester sport coat, and then heading over to BS! Improvise, adapt, overcome! :)
From: DEMO-Bowhunter
09-Mar-23
Wouldn't miss it!! Unlike Cory or a guy named Mark...
From: Treeline
09-Mar-23
Looks like I’ll have to leave a little early as well, but will get to spend at least a couple of hours with the crew.
From: bigeasygator
09-Mar-23
Sweet! Will have to duck out early for the FBS event, but that should be plenty of time to shave Treeman's head.
From: Shug
09-Mar-23
Ok I guess I can find a way to squeeze in a bit of time with the common folk… see ya there

From: Zackman

Got to spend some time with Marv, a living legend in bow hunting that I’ve known all my life and is a very close friend. We got this picture taken together, then no more than 45 minutes later I was able to see him and Judy inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Also got to meet a bunch of awesome bow hunters that I’ve heard about all my life. Awesome first P&Y convention!
