Tomorow night( Saturday) is the banquet for one of the local NWTF chapters. It is kinda bittersweet for me cause I was invited by the guy I have been turkey hunting w/ for the last four years in the absense of my boys who are/were in the service/Iraq. On Sunday my hunting partners unit a Nebraska National Guard Unit (a transporation unit) leaves for three months training than twelve months in Iraq. I guess I got off track;Anyway I think NWTF is a good organization. Are any of rest of you members ?

I went last night; had a blast! I didn't win a gun but get win a bottle of wine. The wife won a coat that she said she would like when we first got there so she was happy ( A GOOD THING). And most importantly I got to spent alittle time w/ my turkey huntin' partner on his last night home before he leaves for deployment to Iraq.

Those banquets are always a good time, and support good causes. But....a guy could go broke if he went to DU, NWTF, Friends of NRA, Pheasants Forever, RMEF, TU....those are ones in my area, I'm sure there are more. I've toned my banquet attending down, in the name of fiscal responsibility, to just the Friends of NRA anymore. Of course, my problem always was, it is a fundraiser, so I should help out and spend hundreds of dollars on chances for everything there... ;D That was always my excuse to my wife, until she started going along.... ...That's when I realized that I wasn't buying chances on EVERYTHING, now we do, hence one banquet...
