[lonehunter]

no ted-mister !

hey ,where's the nudge !

we want nudge , we want nudge !we want nudge !

[lonehunter]

yes , it's a hard decision to make . either become a celibrity or just having the satisfaction of knowing you don't have to boast that you got a bigger buck than a vast magority of the other guys there .
i bet it's been rough , how many guys have tried to "buddy up to you " just to get your secret location for next year ?
i bet plenty !
the only person i'de let know about it is that "stormey jr." in the pic , keep the rest of us guessing , lol !

WHAT TO DO? TAKE THE BUCK OR NOT?[crazy][:/]
With a bow Nov.10 2003
10 pointer with a 19 5/8 inside spread
green scored 138
He is the biggest buck ever for me.
But one thing, he came from washtenaw county and I have seen lot bigger bucks come from that area. I'll take a BFT poll to see do I go or not.

[davetclown]

with the show being so close to home I would. you can go right after work.

there are a couple hoops to getting in, (pre registering) check out the post above for the link.

you cant go wrong when it is that close to home. you may never get the chance again, ya just never know where the show will be next year or if it will be in years to come. and if you ever get a bigger one you can always go back.
