My apologies to each of you.
Each of these call makers offered calls for the Rabbit Distress Contest. When only 5 of the 9 contestants in that contest sent me addresses to receive there calls, I was able to cover that obligation.
Since I never offered calls or any other prize for the Pup Distress Contest, I failed to coordinate with each of you on sending calls to the contestants in that contest.
I am sure that anyone would have loved a call from any of you and I am sorry if you feel the least bit slighted by my actions.
You each have my sincerest apologies.
Al
I should have made a better effort Al, to be honest, it slipped my mind after the initial communication....you owe no apologies Sir!!! You did a cool thing for the guys, and are to be commended for it.
Joe
Al, I would like to jump in here with a comment. You set up both "contests" and while I only participated in one, (didn't have a mic for the first one) I feel that all that participated were winners. And nobody felt that they needed a "prize" for participating. The "prize" to me in participating in the pup howling contest was hearing the wonderful rendetions that each contestant put up. That was all the "prize" I needed. I feel that after listening to the wonderful sounds that each posted, it made me a better caller. Wasn't that what the contest was all about? I have to take my hat off to you, Al, for running both these contests and providing all of us with the "prize" of listening to a number of different ways a sound can be made. I'm sure it helped all of us, and give a "prize" to each who takes the time to listen, and not just something for those that participated.
Again, a big thanks to Al for do this and I look forward to more of the same.
Same as Joe said. You owe me no apologies either. You did a great job running the whole thing. Besides, I still have the call and it will still be awarded to a member of this board one way or another.
Brad
No apologies needed here either. Twas a great thing you did and you are appreciated. And as Brad said, the calls will find a home.
Heck if ya'll are all feeling bad about not sending calls, then just get over it and send the calls to me. :iroll:
