Hey guys,

I only got here late last night-(late plane flight). Wasn't able to connect up with anyone until tonight on how the hunt is going. I know we have great attendance, because I couldn't buy my way into a room here last night at the Comfort Inn!

They told me there was a bunch of hard core hunters that had booked up about 90% of the hotel so it was the Motel 6 for me last night. But I got a real nice room here today. About dark, hunters started coming in. Reports were pretty good with all the hunters I talked to getting shots, and kills on coyotes and fox the last few days. Some were also looking for cougar. There is an abundance here of Turkey, wild boar, some deer, elk, and other wildlife. Everyone is having a great time.

I have some pictures from tonight-They are not the best, but give you some idea...

22-250 took down 3 today, I think he mentioned that he took a few yesterday also-



Others looked on as we "loitered in the parking lot"....





I wonder who's got a ladder on the back of thier truck...



Could be someone that paints for a living-MJM?

We then headed into Country Kitchen. Don-(the owner), and the staff there are always a pleasure to see and take care of us....

RanUtah and others ordering dinner-



22-250-(on the far right) and crew sitting back...



Dogboy-3rd on left with some of the others. It looks like Michael J is taking a well deserved rest....


James Lindley, a old friend here, and his younger brother-

There were so many others that I did get to meet, but can't remember all thier names right now. The bauquet tomarrow will make it easier.

Here are some other pictures of hungry guys getting something to eat....







It sure was great listening to all the stories of seen and shot animals, missed oppurtunites, and other humurous stuff that all hunters can relate to! It has been a great night, and there is growing anticipation for the drawings tomarrow.

You guys don't forget to bid on that African hunt in the clubhouse! that is a once in a lifetime hunt for most of us!

We will also be privileged to have a Spokesman from the San Carlos Reservation speak to us tomorrow.

Critr, Nasa, Crapshoot, and RanUtah have done a great job in putting this thing together. Everyone is having a great time!

Thanks guys!!!

Mike,

Thanks for putting up those pics and giving us a little head's up. Some of us are just sitting home pouting.

Randy

Thanks Mike!

Can't be there so this is the best most of us will get. Looks like everyone is trading stories and sharing the good time. Hope to make it someday. Again, thanks for posting and keep the pictures coming. Nikonut

That's what I needed to know.

I see some "familar" faces from the photo gallery at least. Did ya'll get many looks loitering in the parting lot will all that hardware visible?

Durn I wish I could make one of these.

Second picture down, someones a drinking vineger from a plastic jug. Beer that high priced out there?

Thanks for the shots Mike.
Anybody get a group shot this year, I hope.

[THIRD] picture down. My fault.

That might have just been his cover scent, either that or a little moon shine.

Well all, I had a great time. Struck out big time on the calling (which im sure you all will hear about many, many times) but met a great bunch of people and had a great time. Here is what I was supose to be looking for.

Guess they were smarter that me and my partners were. Here is ShootToKill. We hunted with him on Saturday. Had some great fun and a little excitement.

I hope to meet those that atended again sometime along with many new faces in the future. Thanks for making this a sucessful hunt. Lance

You musta really cut some rug getting back

crapshoot-

Where did you go?

I looked over at you one moment-the next moment you was gone! I took a plane back to California and you beat me back!!!

I just got into Stockton-(my home away from home ) I just uploaded 57 pictures to post tomorrow. (wow!-they are cool pictures)!

For those of you that missed this hunt, you really did miss out. We had a great time! It was the best hunt so far out of the last three years.

I am certain other staff members would agree with me on this. I heard someone mention-I think it was Rich from AZ-that we will have to expand in the coming years to accommodate all those in attendance.

We pretty much "owned" the Comfort Inn, and The Country Kitchen"-thanks to their part in making us feel at home in Globe. We would like to thank them for thier hospitality!

More to come tomorrow!

That is "Super Predator Juice" made by the Acme Co.

Great set of pics so far.

Hey Mike, those are great pics man!
I recognise quite a number of faces and am very very jealous!
Next year we have it right here in Joburg.

Congrats 22-250! remember me? I met you at Rich's place in Phoenix.

Some more pics please.
Lochi.
