I'd really like to make this an LSBA event. I think we could make it happen. Maybe even couple with the LSBA Expo. I got a lot of ideas!

I think this would be a great addition to be sponsered by the LSBA.

remember, this is not inclusive to only colorado county. thats just where we hold the awards banquet and where most of the contestants were from when we started this event. teams can hunt and reside in any county. just gotta come to colorado county if you want to participate in the banquet.

that would be cool. already got a few idea to run by dena this weekend.
