« on: June 01, 2008, 05:25:45 PM »
Helen and I were happy to host the event again. I am glad that you all made it here safe and I hope you all made it home safely.We met some new people this year and had some of the Great people that make it a yearly event.Digger was a great help this year and did a great job in Friday nights cooking.On Saturday Digger and Snowbelt were a big help with the cooking of the ribs.I wasn't able to do much shooting with anyone till sunday but on sunday I had a great shoot and a lot of laughs.Hope you all had a good time and I hope to do it again next year

I can not even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed everything!!!!!! A special thanks to you and your family for the hospitality!

I think everyone I met (excluding the guy below) had a great time. I will upload some shoot videos to youtube and post the link in a day or so.

I have GOT to get in on this next year!  Maybe I'll be on leave or retired next summer for this...  If I'm on leave it wouldn't be too long of a drive from Lawton... I'm hoping to be able to make it!!!

Yep,it was another great one.We lost 1 good PD town due to some kind of disease,but Helen found us a really great one,only about 4 miles from Dans house.I don't think that anyone that has ever came to this event will forget it,Dan and Helen are the greatest,and the food is spectaclur.The wind was terrible this yr.,but everyone did some good shooting,and made some shot's that they'll never forget. We had some good door prize's,and everyone ate to much. I can't wait till next yr. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  Digger

Thank you to everyone for a great trip.  Ed and I got home last night without any problems.  We had rain for a couple of hours at the beginning of the drive but clear the rest of the way.  It looked like we were right behind the storm at times.

It was good to be able to put faces with those I have had a chance to chat with and also do a little trading with.  A special thank you to Dan & Helen for their hospitality.  Even though this was our first trip to the GBO p-dog shoot, we felt like we belonged there.  T.J. thanks for the trip to the Texas state line.  We had a great time even if the p-dogs didn't want to cooperate at times.

Stimpy, thanks for organizing the door prizes and putting that together.  And thank you for all of the donations.  Let us know where we can send a letter, email or phone call to let the folks know we appreciate their support.

Fuzzy, thanks for putting up with Stimpy ::)

Many thanks to Dan and Helen for putting up with us...again!  I've already sent a thank you to Mueller for the scope I won, I'm going to enjoy using it for many years to come.

Looks like a few prairie dogs aren't going to make their family reunions this summer!  ;D

Thanks again to all for another great hunt.  Many thanks to Dan and Helen for their hospitality!  Dan and TJ did a great job putting us on some new towns this year!  It was great to see some old faces, and meet some new one's.  I think we had a really great group of folks attending this year, and as always, look forward to next year, if Dan and Helen are gracious to host the event again. 

Thanks will be sent to the sponsors who provided door prizes for the event.  We had some really good prizes this year!  And of course thanks to Stimpy for his humor and running the door prize event!  ;D ;D ;D

I want to thank Dan and Helen for puttin us up again also TJ and the friends and folks who let us invade thier lands. Also every one who helped make this a very fun hunt. It was great to put the faces to the old names again and to the new ones that have come into our family in the last yr great to meet you all. I think we may need to get Helen to take over for Dan and let him do all the running around for stuff as that town she got us for Sunday morn was fantastic I burned up a little bit over 2 boxes of 5mm there alone in a couple of hours before having to hit the road for home. Thanks to Stimpy and Graybeard for getting with donors for the drawings and all the others who had anything to do with that I will get all proper thanks off when Stimpy returns with the formal list unless a big ole hog gets him down at Diggers. I did ask him if he could out run Fuzzy and he didn't think so . That being said he better be right on. Again thanks to all. Kurt
