My first time to hang out with my northern brothers. America's Backbone of the Traditional Bowhunting. When Jerry invited me to speak, i couldn''t turn down again...I assembled my bookends (Biggie and Marty) and we had to go scout this out...here are my raw first impressions.
I actually met guys that talked slower then me.
Two Tracks has the best looking wool felt garments hands down. he left the show with my vest.. i will have to order one now. i could talk bowhunting with Chuck for hours. wealth of knowledge
Although Denny Sturgis looks like a TapOut competitor on the Net, in person he's a smiling gentleman with a pranster twinkle in his eye....love it
Whip has continued to keep in shape with his mountain workout regiment. he sold me the ugliest hat ever. it's perfect.
Steve O..bought arguebly one on the nicest bows there. A Bocote TallTines..He let me shoot it. I would not let marty shoot it because he would dry fire it...I will now Will my Osceola bird slot to Steve if something happens to me. he can hang,great guy
Rick Shepard's Great Northern Qiuver Co. Feather Grinder.....Buy it!!.....buy the dyes too!..great people and extremely knowledgeable..coolest fleece noggins out there
Gene ate my desert. Barry had 2.......Susan and Donna raise the bar for them. the women are class acts....have you thought what this sport would be like without the twins?....they are always alot of fun and one heck of some flashlight salesmen.
Monty made me up my best turkey prop ever. 22" turkey beard..i'll have to make him another box call...News Flash!..he told me he's thinking about buying his first computer!!!
Biggie as usual lied about his ETA and beats me to the show by driving most of the night from Ga. He took a nap at a truck stop but woke up when mercury hit 7 degrees in his truck....if he would have froze..how would u get him out?
Someone pick pocketed my 3 Ben Franklins or i spent it? I told my wife the ATM charge was a mistake and i will take care of it.
Easiest Money? I made $10 by walking down the hotel hall to get a coke in my underwear and Whip's hat on from Marty. he paid in cash....sweet!...Robin Conrads almost busted me but i was fast. TJ hasn't aged one bit.....hunting 13 months a year is his secret
Herdbull is with holding information. He is a smart rascal. I'll let him get his weight up and then i'll take him on in an arm wrestling match. starting on his book tonight.
Great Northern has Green glass.....what a solid and crafty bow Jerry makes... you have to check it out!
Mike and Mary with Woodyweights had the best value there with Plaid wool jackets and shirts that had prices George Stout would have blushed at....Woodyweights are ingenious....definite buy
I bought my 11th turkey blind in 20 years Sunday. Bought this from Apache Blind Man. I spent 2 hours trying to tell him what i needed in a blind to shoot a recurve hidden from turkeys finally i gave up....so like a good redneck....I bought one New so i can take it home to fix it.
Kananti Quivers.......just an expectional funtional quiver John Dill is making. It is so well thought out and made. it's hitting the turkey woods with me in 3- 4 weeks in Fl. Batman is perfect company representative..He knows bowhunting, bluegrass, turtle sticking, catfish grappling and buck dancing. he's the real Carolina deal...enjoyed meeting ya'll immensely.
Surprise award for me was knifemaker Wayne Hendricks from Allendale SC..i have not seen wayne in 17 years. Monty and I talked turkey with him for an hour after my seminar..Wayne is a tremedous outsdoorsaman and turkey hunter..Loved swapping stories back and forth with him. he's sending me a trick wooden call to duplicate.....
Regretably i did not get to spend enough time with my cyber buddy Todd Smith but i know we'll get to spend some ABS booth time together in the future. great meeting you Todd
Speaking of Smiths, Thanks Marty Smith for the pack frame and your help.
Thanks Blake Fisher of Eclipse broadheads for getting Marty lined out with a quality BH that he nows says he can sharpen. I will give him a pop test in 3 weeks. Please keep up the good work in the Cat depredation program around Boise.. Your work there is legendary.
Great putting Hawkeye's name with a face. good luck with your birds. Anything your learned from my seminars i am not legalily liable for unless they work out then i'll have to charge you!
Lastly thanks jerry and sharon for a great time I had. I had the best time ever, never have i talked so much turkey that my throat is killing me from gobbling 765 times in 2 days...i did not miss my grits a bit!

I don't think you missed anything. A fun time for sure. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Good review Joey. It was both informative and enjoyable to read. Maybe next year I'll make it up there.
-
Thanks for the great update. Living in California it is a trip I hope to make in the next year ot two.
Scott

I have a picture of that lost 10 bucks! Anybody wanna see it?
That's a beter review than any report u ever write in school!
-
One item that should be added to the above review was that Joey put on a very informative and fun turkey hunting seminar.
-
I seen it Marty, I dare ya!(better ask Terry first.It ain't pretty).
JoeBuck I sure had a great time chattin with you and your pals. Your turkey seminar was GREAT, I hope your info can be my hole card to break my 7yr. skunkfest.Stay in touch and thanks for the kind words.
good luck with the turks
Chuck

That's a great review Joey, sounds like great time :thumbsup:
I even asked Marty to call me Sunday morning and leave the phone on so I could at least listen to the seminar...but I was a day late...it was Saturday :(
Oh well, someday we'll get together and "talk turkey" :campfire:
Good Luck this spring buddy!
-
I think I like that review best of anybody, not that I would wish anything bad to happen to Joey...
It sure was nice having the southern contingent at the Expo--they are nicer guys than they appear on the computer :notworthy:
I'm looking forward to catching the turkey seminar again at PBS. LOTS of things to learn from the master!
-
Only thing missing was you Curt!..would have loved to met ya...Sitka booth needed your help and experience badly! Steve O stayed in the Talltines booth most of the weekend trying work Brian down on $ i think for that gorgeous bow......i loaned his son Daniel $100, he said his daddy was good for it.
-
Daniel hit me for 100 bucks too! Kid worked the room like a pro!

He was trying to raise some money for some rabbit arrows!! :thumbsup:
Great review Joey!! I wish I could have seen your seminar. We got there a little later than I wanted to on Saturday morning! :banghead:
-
Wait a minute.....he got me for $100 also!!!
-
I just LOVE that boy :-))
I like taking him to the traditional event so he can hang out with QUALITY people--like the MRS. Wensels ;-)
-
Sounds like a great way to spend a cold weekend
-
Daniel hit me up for some photos, which he quickly sold to some other kids. The boy is resourceful! :>) HA!
Seriously, Daniel has become very helpful with other youths. Keep up the good work Steve. Mike
-
Joey, good review. You about hit it on the money except for the fact I never ate any dessert. You did a great job with your butterball seminar. I wish I could learn to call better than the ways you were teaching people NOT to call! I was almost in the front row. The guy behind me was taking notes. His partner was snoring. You did a fine presentation, except no one told you about that booger hanging out your left nostril and the dried food on your shirt. I even enjoyed listening to your southern accent. I really feel bad about your team losing that war......
-
Daniel is a special kid for sure. He traded me a wrinkled $100 bill for a spanking new $50. Maybe someday he'll learn that the hand is quicker than the eye. Steve O.... I told him you were buying him a pony next week. Don't let him down.
-
I think Daniel had Gene's magic tricks almost figured out. Thankfully, the joke about the money to be made in field passed safely over his head.
-
Hi Joey, it was nice to meet you, i ate Gene's dessert i had to sneak it away from Brian Wessel. you should have stayed at our motel we had high school girls running and screaming up and down the hallway at 3:00 am Gene came out of his room and i heard him yell shut up, he said he got up at 5:00 am and called their room every ten minutes for awhile, great stuff.
-
Daniel told me a pack of cigerettes cost $100 so that why i gave him the money. he also told me his dad had $173 dollars in his wallet for some strange reason........this kid's burr been flipped 2-3 times, he's sharp.
Mike, great to meet you and put a name with a face although you do not look your age. Either you have 22 year old wife or you found the right vitamins or that Sitka Gear makes you look 15 years younger.
Gene, i noticed the guy behind you snoring. Thats an art i greatly admire. I thought first he was of Chineese decent till his eyes completely shut. It was a Primal Dream!
-
Steve's getting him a new Blackberry so he can stay in touch. Loved Marty's pictures on his I phone OH Yeah.
-
We gave Daniel $200 and 3 quivers. He said it was for the PBS auction and we could write it off. Never did get any paper work on it.
Joey, I will be in touch about the Bear craklings and stump hole .
Biggie. I really enjoyed finally getting to spend some time with you. and thanks for breakfast. next time it's on me.
Marty, I'll never forget you. you should have come up to the room and checked out my red speedos and orage ATAR T shirt.
Bill and Tracey, thanks for the brownies the company (mostly you Tracey) and the free shipping.
If anyone did'nt have fun at Kazoo, it was your own fault.
-
Joey,
You schooled me during the seminar! Anyone who missed it... Too bad for them! I just might get a turkey now this Spring.
Thanks for the re-cap, you were spot on.
Holding back from Herdbull? I guess that makes the two of you even! :biglaugh:
I enjoyed the conversations after your seminar as well. Good stuff!
What a show! There's never enough time to share with everyone so we do the best we can.
Had a great time!

You guys are giving me some great ideas :saywhat: . A few more shows and Daniel will be able to cover his food bill from the weekend :clapper:
Todd, just saw the Compton photo pages, thanks for putting those up. The whole site looks great!
-
I saw Daniel pull back a 44# TT without a hitch...so I would say if Daniel asks for money you best give that boy money...otherwise he might have to take it.....LOL
-
Joey, Still a slim chance I'll get to see your PBS seminar...slim, but still a chance :pray:
I'ma hopin'!
-
Curt- .. Joey's seminar was great! I hope you can make it to PBS. I am planning on giving a talk at the PBS as well, but I'm sure all of the folks that fill the front rows won't really be there to hear me......they will be coming an hour early to claim good seats for Joey's seminar that will follow mine. :>) Mike
-
Joey, it was nice to chat a little bit with you. One of these years, I'm gonna make it to one of your seminars but sometimes duty calls. It was a great weekend and nice to see old friends and make a couple new ones as well. Hope to see ALL of you at PBS.
-
Joey gave a seminar? Biggie and I heard turkey and we thought it was a turkey dinner! No wonder we didn't get anything to eat. Biggie told me a long time ago- if it has feathers it's ok to use a shotgun- thank God or we'd never eat an Osceola with Joey!!! Fried in progresso bread crumbs and flour-gotta go........
-
Joey, thanks the seminar was awesome, you did scare the older fella in front of us when you cut loose with a gobble, poor old guy came about three feet out of his seat. Did'nt say hey to Biggie, I've never met him before, I was standing near the entrance and noticed this giant guy standing next to me, I'm 6'1 about 240, and this guy dwarfed me, didn't realize, who he was until he walked off really big guy! Daughter made the comment of the day for me, I was wearing a long sleeved green shirt and one of Asbells green wool vest, I walked in the house and she says, Hi dad, you look like Shrek! sweet kid huh?

"Easiest Money? I made $10 by walking down the hotel hall to get a coke in my underwear and Whip's hat on from Marty. he paid in cash....sweet!...Robin Conrads almost busted me but i was fast."
You weren't that fast Joey! :)

Joey, you, me and Ron LeClare need to talk......
-
Uh-oh- Denny , I'm gonna warn you- Southern Fella's never forget! He's still talkin about the farms in Mississippi that were burned during the Civil War! He will get you back!
-
My eyes, oh, the humanity!!! Hey, wanta go huntin' pard?
-
Does white make me look fat or Whip's hat?
-
A most enjoyable thread and, "REEE-PORT!" :D
-
Joey I think it is the hat.
Jack
-
It's not the hat. Actually, that hat is a special slimming model that makes the wearer appear much thinner than they really are.
Thank God you had it on Joey or everyone would have been able to see how fat you REALLY are! :biglaugh:
-
This thread has really gone downhill...
Let's get back to the willing of the Osceola spot!
I think you look "distinguished" in that photo Joey (insert "buttkissing" icon here)
:biglaugh:
-
Is it just me or does that picture remind you of a character off of Deliverance???
-
Ned Beatty lives!!!

Ned Beatty! Hahahahahahaoooooooohahahahahaha!
