Reggy, your ongoing  support in youths to our heritage has always spoke volumes with me....as I'm sure it has with others that know you.

Very nice, very much appreciated. Lemme see what I can round up.

Well thank you for the compliment. We do what we can to help the future of outdoors. Our kids today must be properly educated because they are being raised by parents who still believe that overpopulation of the speciaes is a good thing, and that mother nature will eventually get around to taking care of herself.

LOL, I was not avoiding the question ... as a matter of fact, I didn't even see it. If your birth certificate puts you at 14, sure ... come on. If you are like me, old as dirt but 14 at heart ... sorry, no bueno.

Thank you all for your support.

Ok, if Al's going to donate calls like THOSE, I will come up with a birth certificate indicating I'm 14.

Very classy Al :yoyo:

THO ... if we sponsor another contest, where I just happen to be the only entry, can I count on you to donate a couple dozen calls like those again?

LOL ... beautiful calls by the way.

Thank you Al ... if you don't mind, could you send a dealer price list and minimum purchase requirements for your products to us?

If you don't offer a dealer program, it's no problem.

Thank you:

No rush, just checking in. That'd be great, we look forward to seeing them.

Also, for what it's worth, I'm not 100% on what all went down with the video contest, but I'm here to tell ya, I'm glad you stuck to your guns and are going through with it especially since it's for the kids :wink:

You can't make everybody happy no matter how hard you try, and the harder you try the more you fail. It just aint right.
This is about the kids, and an excellent oppurtunity for them to aquire some recognition and possibly learn from it all. Kudos to you, Reg.

The pictures are developed, and I should get them up this evening. In the pictures, you can see some of the kids blowing the calls that were donated, but they are at a distance, and the quality of the calls cannot be seen. But they had a blast ... literally.

Will get them up this evening.

We thank you all for your support with the kids, and we that you for your support through time and donations to help them out.

This little feller below, is blowing one of the THO Calls that was donated. Look through the pictures and you'll find that this feller couldn't keep it off of his lips.

We couldn't do it without yall's support. We thank you all for your help. Maybe when we finally grow up as a company, then we will be able to sponsor everything ourselves ... but until then ... Thank you all.
