Stevo,
If you could print a bunch of those, I'll pay you for them.....My printer is down.
ps.....Just standard size paper will be fine.

Well, it doesn't look like we're going to miss the rain (not the 1st time). And I know a little rain isn't going to stop a hunter....We've ordered two big tents. So, the show will go on.....Rain or shine.....
Hope to see many of you there.

Come hell or high water, we're having the turkey tune-up.....The tents are up and I think we're prepared for a LITTLE wind & rain.....lol
ps.....Saw jakes and some nice strut marks in Camp Hope & the corral.

Great event today guys! Met so many "like-minded" guys who all have the same highs and lows as we do when it comes to gobble hunting....no draw for me this year, but met my mentor @ilovesprig and got a hunting location tip from Jeff (Palomar Ranger Dist.)
The calls from this guy were amazing as well...

That guy is our very own Matagi (Gen).....And I'll say it again, the best caller in SoCal.
Scott,
Great meeting you today.....Truly a great turn-out.....383 paid customers.....Congrats to all that got drawn.....If there's anything I can do to help you.....Please let me know.
Mark (MJB),
Thank you so much for all your help today.....Great time in the shooting/patterning station.....It really does show what your gun will do.....Patterning also showed that a little gun (Benelli M-2, 20 gauge) can throw just as good a pattern as the cannons (3 1/2", boy do they kick.....lol).

I was lucky enough to go on and get selected, 4/1 Browns Cove. I have a question on the location though, I guess its hunted on the side of the hill facing the corral, since I have seen its accessible with 4x4? Anyone have info on BC and can you hike back there to get a look?
It was a pretty cool event. Tanx everyone that assisted.
Oh yeah sprig, if my kid gets drawn for San Ysbel can we request a mentor?

Congrats.....Every kid has a mentor/experienced turkey hunter with him (or her) and you.
Brown's Cove is accessed from road that takes you to The Corral.....Unfortunately, you're not allowed to drive or scout that area before your hunt.....I will try to get intel for you before your hunt.
Haha you're too nice Steve. I was beat yesterday so I wasn't on my A game. It was a amazing turn out and all the volunteers did an amazing job. I wish I could do a longer segment for calling and hunting techniques but honored to be there to share the little info I can provide. I used to "guide" the luckybhubters back in the day when they allowed NWTF board members to assist so if any lucky hunters need any tips please feel free to holler at me.
I was sorry to miss the event, but had a chance to join Mark (center mass) on a SHARE program hunt at Rush Ranch on Grizzly Island. Report will follow in another thread. Glad the event was successful, and was bummed to miss Gen's calling as well as the patterning. That's a great addition to the event! Thanks to all who volunteered and organized the event.

Don,
You probably would've just had an enjoyable day.....We had lots of help....The shooting gallery was fun.
Stevo (Steveo007).....Thanks for remembering the targets.....They were well used.
I'd also like to thank DFW for having 2 wardens on site to answer questions.....CNF reps to answer questions about the Cleveland including marking a few spots where they've seen turkeys before.
Renee.....It was great seeing & talking to you.....Nice to see The Bow & arrow Shop represented.
A huge thank you to the Kiwanis for bringing the food and drink.....Look forward to having you back next year.....The brats were killer.
Lastly, I would like to thank Diane, Matt, & AJ from the city lakes for all their help.....You were all great.....See you all March 3rd for the bass/lake opener.
