Turkey Bluffs Chapter of the NWTF will be having its annual banquet March 8th 2008 at ST. Johns Luthern Hall in Chester. If anyone is interested in going or if anyone has anything they would like to donate, please PM me for details. This is always a fun gathering, and a good chance to meet fellow turkey hunters.:)

I"LL BE THERE! HAVEN'T MISSED ONE FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS! AS A MATTER OF FACT I THINK THIS WILL BE MY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY FOR THAT BANQUET, MAN TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' FUN

Thanks for asking Fun, I only have tickets for the banquet/dinner, we have a bunch of raffles throughout the evening along with silent auction, live auction, games, lots of giveaways, in the past we average giving away over 20 guns, there were a few years we gave away 30 guns in one evening, pretty good odds for a room with less than 300 people in it. I have won several guns over the years, Someone at my table always wins a gun or two, my one buddy has won the gun of the year twice.
let me know if you're interested.

I wish I knew, sorry, don't get to go to the meetings like I used to. I think last year it was stuffed pork chops, always good food. believe it or not, a few years we actually had TURKEY!
always good sides, mashed taters, green beeeeenZ, deserts and such,
HEY, Free Beer & Wine too! those ladies at the Luthern School can COOOOOK!

OMG The ladies from St. John's are doing the cooking??? Let me check with Critter this evening..we may have to attend!

some of the prints we will be auction, Bob, I thought you might especially like the lab prints. and the core package prints are giclée printed on canvas, they look awesome in person, If I didnt already have a closet full of prints I'd be buying a few of these.

I think I counted 28 guns to be given away tomorrow night! some cool ones too, there is a remington 700 Budweiser 30-06, stainless barrel, laminated wood, the gun of the year is a weatherby 300, engraved, fancy wood,we are also giving away a springfield 45 semi auto pistol, very nice pistol, wish I had more money to spend, there is really some nice stuff! pm if anyone is interested, there are a few tickets left.

Those are sweet .. I'm gonna buy a 30-06 soon.

hey fun compare the ballistics of the 30-06 to the 270, thats what I did before buying a rifle and I ended up buying a 270, bigger choice of bullet weights, I have bullets from 100 grain to 150 grain, that is good for just about any game around here.

I have not ruled out a .308 yet.. I just want a long range rifle that will chamber a common military round.
