The annual banquet and meeting will be at the Copper King in Butte on February 10th. There will be vendors and some great bowhunters in attendance. I will be there too. Hope to see some of ya. Good time to share some stories and plan new hunts.

I will be there, made reservations for both Friday evening, for some socializing (can we say moose drool), and Saturday. Everybody is welcome to attend, things will get started at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday with dinner at 7:00. Contact Lenny Brown for dinner tickets at 406-582-8678. Chad, on the topic of new hunts, I am thinking bout either Australia or New Zealand in 2008, are you interested?

Walt, Of course I'm interested....but my bank account doesn't always support my interests. The timing for next year sounds good though, we will talk.
Gotta ad this comment on the banquet. I've been to more than a few banquets over the years and the food was as good as I have had anywhere. Prime Rib AND Halibut, it was mighty good and the service was excellent.
Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Thanks for posting this Chad....I'd have to second the food critique. I've been to quite a few banquets myself, and last year was the best ever, food-wise.
The TBM banquet is more laid-back than most, but you can rub elbows with some mighty fine bowhunters there...and also have a great chance to win some good prizes.

Umm, Kevin? I think they have airline service from Ill-noise (or is that Ill-noy?) to someplace in Montana. You're not doing anything else right now, anyway.
I'll find out in the morning if my truck has any kind of terminal drive train damage after the last chukar hunt. Butte is just up the road for me, so may try to make it.
-------------------- So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing. Don't even wait for your annual vacation. Go at every opportunity. Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Well it was a great time. Didn't get to visit as much as I would have liked but did renew old friendships and made some new ones. Excellent food again. Got lucky in the raffle too.

Chad only told part of the story. He won his own knife twice & had to redraw twice. Thanks Chad nice to meet you. It was a great time & those who didn't go really missed a nice time. Frank

Chad...you need to put your raffle "system" up for sale to us losers!
The TBM banquet, heck..all their events, have become my favorites simply because of the company shared. Thanks to all that came and gave so generously.
Good luck to new prez, Billy Lewis, and to Todd for taking on the treasurers duties.
Frank, you're right...those that miss the TBM banquet and/or the shoots are really "missing out" for sure.
