Sorry Dan, it was a little late in the making. We always try to have this, but failed to get someone to run with it from the beginning. Hopefully next year we will have someone take on the photo contest a lot earlier. Bob

Skeeter, the TBBR awards run from Jan 1 to Dec 31 of each year. Plenty of time to start planning your next hunt. Go to the RECORDS section on LSBAs homepage and it will take you to the TBBR website. There are plenty of fish and game to set your sites on. Bob

Me too, I want to learn all I can. My goal is getting my IBEP instructor (July 27th) and getting kids into flinging arrows. I know a lot of single moms with kids that love attention and trying new things. Have one hooked on fishing and he wants to shoot my bow now! The banquet was loads of info and I can't wait till next year!
