    The ones from this year looked like tons of fun. I wish I would have been able to make it one.

    No, I don't think it's too early to start talking and planning. For most people the earlier the better. I know at this year's GTG a lot of guys said they wanted to keep it around the same time next year - towards the end of June. That would put us with the weekend of June 20/21 or 27/28. The 20th/21st would work better for us, but we're open for suggestions. As usual, we'll host everything and provide the facility/targets/food.

    Justin, the weekend of 20/21 is father's day weekend. Probably a lot of people would have plans, especially those out of state. I would shoot for the last weekend if it's possible with you guys, afterall your place is hosting it. In case you haven't heard it before, thanks very much to you & Todd for putting those gtg's. It's amazing how complete strangers can come together w/a common interest in hunting & act just like we've known each other for yrs. Now we all have made old friends both on the site, & at weekend gatherings.

    Good call - I guess that wouldn't work for a lot of people! The 27th/28th would work fine too. Anyone else have any suggestions or input?

    Aw come on now BC, that ain't fair bring up bad memories like that! :bash: Okay here you go just for this yr though; :hail: :hail: :hail:
    You best be getn' that guardian tune up real good cause next yr it's going to be a different story ending.
    Can't wait to hook up u Bcrik.
    27th/28th look good for me. Let's try to lock it in, & start the advertising. Maybe get a big time sponsor out there, I'm talkn' real big gtg, the kind that'll make one of the outdoor shows. Bet if we put some invites out there to the likes of Waddell, we just might get him. what do you guys think?

    cool, lemme know... we usually drink nearly as much as we brew... :beer: I've got a pretty wicked hoppy pale ale, a nice hefeweizen, my irish red and oatmeal stout are both some of the best examples of those i've ever had... any requests so I can plan??

    A solid Belgian Wheat Ale or a HefeWeizen would work and maybe a Pilsner for those that like a more Americanized brew. The Oatmeal Stout sounds good for a celebration drink after we take a buck or two this fall:d

    Justin, what do you think about maybe contacting some big names for this gtg? Or least maybe one of the bow manufacturers? Let's get the word out, & see who we can get to attend.
    As for sandwiches no problem. I'm acutally looking to come on thurs & hang out for the weekend. we should contact the paradise so we can get the shooting thing squared away.
    BIG question is who will be the next park police nabbee. Dubbya got the honors this yr. Mobow boys how but you?
