Our banquet will be Feb 3rd this year at the Valley Event Center on Hwy 72 just East of the Publix's shopping center in Athens, AL. The doors will open at 6 and the food and festivities will follow shortly after that. We will be serving Lawlers BBQ again this year. If anyone has any questions or needs tickets let me know.

If you were cooking I would attend...

I've never ate his cooking but Lawler's is hard to beat.

I will cook for you later on, but I 'm not cooking for 100+ people on my little ole grill.

I will be there, gonna be a good time.

What items will y'all have up for grabs?

Guns, lots of prints, statues, camp, calls, knives, and lots of other hunting related items.

Stoney is going to donate a couple of his world famous pot calls that will ne super nice.

Most of all though I will be there to sign autographs and possibly do a picture with the wives and girlfriends that are present.

Meal only tickets will be $20 and a meal plus a NWTF membership is $50. We will be serving alcohol this year too.

Looking forward to it.

Glad you are gonna be there, you better bring that sweet wife of yours to keep you in line though. Looks like there ought to be several of us there this year and I will know who you are this go around.

I dropped the calls in the mail this morning. I threw in a call for people to try(guy never paid for it) and you can give it away too. Thanks for your help.

SWEET! I will make sure they bring top dollar. It shouldn't be to hard with n2deer and oleman both going to be there with the deep pockets they have. I probably won't be able to afford anything that night with them hanging around. Thanks again!

Looks like there will be several of us there.

Me
Redman
n2deer
Oleman
JUGHEAD - for all of you that owe him a butt woopin.
yelpz2006 is usually there
and a couple more that don't post much on here.

Stony has some calls on the way to me right now that are gonna be nice. Let me know if you are interested in attending.

Ya'll better gang up on me is all I can tell you.

Im letting yekrut go first then im going to kick you in the nuts when your not looking.

Unless he is talking to all your daughters under the age of 4, Y'all won't need any help!

Yall selling couples tickets this year? Let me know how to get em from ya and me and the girlfriend will come.

Yeah man. 70 for a couple with a membership or 20 a head for a meal ticket. I hope your gf if better looking than you are.

Ha what are you trying to say lol. I need to renew my membership anyway, when you want me to bring you the money.

I am still looking for some leases too, but havent had any luck yet.

Don't bring me any money. You can pay at the door and is the same price.

Count me in if you find a lease. I need one in a bad way.

Stoney.... The pres is going to call you and thank you as well as get your address to send you the donation form. Thanks again for donating the calls, they look great. I let one of them sing tonight at our banquet meeting and it sounded great as always.

Sounds good, see ya there.

I got your back JUG....






maybe

I figure me and you could tie our hands behind our backs and still beat the dog piss out of YEKRUT and n2deer.

I don't need n2deer to back me up.... by the time I get done beating the ugly out of you two there won't be anything but a greasy spot on the concrete.

You do realize that being a seasoned turkey slayer is not a prerequisite for being an accomplished arse kicker don't you? You and n2deer can kill turkeys unlike us rookies, but I believe we could beat the mess out of you 2 retards.

I have taken my fare share of jakes, ya'll two are not much different.

What JUG said exactly.

Yall better be sure to eat your Wheaties and pack a lunch...

What's the name of closest town to Banquet? If not to terribly far I might come just to meet some of you guys.

Don't do it Squeaky! Go support the NWTF by all means but be carefull around that crew! They talk about whipping each other so much I think its more man loving going on!!!...

The banquet is in Athens. We as about an hour and a half north of bham. We would love to have you if you can make it.

If I were you, wear a cup...Jughead has a weird facination with nuts! Seriously though, good group of guys...I don't get off work till 8 or I would be there too.

And I'm 3 hours south of bham so thats a little to far! Yekrut I thought you were gonna mentor Redman this year? Here he is talking bout helping Jughead whoop you and N2deer. I see a lot of briar patchs in his future!

You guys ain't right....lol. I work out in the gulf with some bad son of a guns until they hit land. If I had a dollar for every a$$ whomping threat I heard I'd be a rich man. I might have to for sure show up now just to see those guys jump on Yekrut and N2deer....lol.

I'm about 2 hrs away. If the wife don't have plans for me there's a good chance I'll make the trip. Yekrut I'll let you and N2deer know if I can make it.

Hope you get to make it squeaky. You don't happen to have a cooler big enough for a jughead do you. Needs to be about 5'5" long.

I got that big white one.

But don't mess it up to bad. We are going to need it for those 14 birds we get.

A cooler for Jughead? Try an 80 gallon drum that'll take care of his noggin, youll need your kids lunch box for the rest of him

Dang Jughead! These guys sure do like picking on you! They're just jealous of your turkey killn skills aren't they?

Im finally back on here now im bringing a crew with me too.

details?

Yeah....I'm sure that is precisely it.

Glad you are gonna make it.

It is either free or $5 for a bottomless cup. Not sure what they voted to do....I got a phone call right when it came up to a vote and had to step out.

Either way im damn glad theyll have it!!!!!!!

Me too! I almost didn't make it through last years without any. Half the people brought their own and of course I didn't have any.

I'm just wondering if you are talking about draft beer. I hope so.

No won't be draft beer, will be poured into a cup out of a can.

You can still come, it will be worth the price of admission just to see jughead get kicked in the nuts.

I'm thinkin I should bring a stripped shirt and a bowtie so I can referee.

Vote was $5

i will see you guys there. yekrut do i need to find you for a ticket.

I'll be there...Looking forward to meeting some of you turkey slayers...I'll be with JUGHEAD but don't judge me on this alone...He volunteered to drive...LOL

I would expect to get them at the door. Only thing you can get from him is some ego and lip.

Naaaa you can buy them at the door. Meal only. Meal and membership. Couples ticket. Find me once you get in. I will be the goodlooking guy with all the women flocked around him. Or just find the ugliest sucker in the room and ask jughead where I am at.

I'll check tomorrow and see if they have a changing table in the bathrooms for little kids. I figure he might try hiding out in there most of the night to delay the flogging as long as possible.

No doubt...Either that or he'll be "hiding" under tables trying to get you to tell him some of your turkey killing secrets!

Look forward to seeing, meeting some of you.

Jughead I have something for you.

How much is the couples ticket?

$70. 2 meals and a membership.

Most truthful post in the whole thread.

See yall tonight. Get there early and get you a table. If you need directions pm me and I will give you my number so you can just call me when you get close. Gonna be a bunch of aldeer members there.

Looking forward to it man! Gonna be a big time I'm sure!

I guess the wife and myself will be there . With everyone going to be kicking each other im alittle worried im to fat to run

You can just stand behind me if you want. The only one crazy enough to start anything is YEKRUT and I'm gonna mop the floor with him real quick-like and then the drama will be over with.

I'll just go ahead and cut me a switch so I can strip them legs real good for you.

Hey Jughead and L. Thompson....I think when they say couples, it has to be the opposite sex!...Two Nancys can't get in together.

That's discrimination. I ain't going.

Me and JeffPike83 will be there. What kind of prizes are going to be given away?

I dont know, but the ones I have been to.

You buy tickets and put in for stuff and there is a live auction and sometimes a silent auctions.

Usually prints, calls, small statues, house decor, guns. all kinds of turkey related stuff.

Me and the wife are going to be there.

All of you fools are hurting my chances on prizes and will make the beer line longer.

True that, why dont you just stay home?

That's the best burn I have seen on here in a while.

He's just lashing out due to unbridled jealousy.

Its auction time......waiting on somebody to go "yuuuuuuuppppp"!

They should be back by now. Who ended up taking one in the nads?

It was ugly.. I left jughead and l Thompson laying in the street.

Btw... thanks for the help...

I kicked jughead 3 times in the nuts before I found our he squatted to pee.

Nice meeting all you guys tonight. Thanks for coming.

nice to meet all you guys

I had fun fellows, it was good too see everyone again and nice meeting everyone else.

And dixiepatriot thanks for holding your wife back so i could escape with my cooler lol.

It was good meeting everyone tonight (AU coonhunter, Yekrut, Dixie Patriot, LThompson, Jughead, Redman1, oleman and anyone else i might have left out.

It was even good seeing you tonight N2deer.....it had been a while.

Sorry Redman1....you should have bid higher

Thanks again guys. Lots of money spent tonight. I will post pics tomorrow.

Nice putting some faces and names with handles...It was a good time and I'll see some of y'all next weekend in Nashville....

For the sake of conservation and America's wild turkey....we decided to delay the brawling to a later date.

Had a blast men! Nice to see the guys I had already met again and nice to meet all of the aldeer guys I never had met!

Rough looking bunch there, I must have been in a bidding war against the wife.

We had a good time and it was nice to meet everyone. My wife called it our annual date night.

It was nice, for a change, to not stick out like a sore thumb for being so ugly.

Yep....but she won.

Good, due to my intensive ugliness I have successfully avoided pictures again!!

Sure was good to see eerybody again and meet new people. Had lots of fun and Teague, glad you got the call and to everyone else that got stuff.

Nashville is going to be awesome next weekend!! First time for me going cant wait to go to the calling competition and just to see everything

We delayed it because there was not enough room in the parking lot. So we gonna to wait until Nashville so we can get out in the Opry Mills parking lot and have and much room as needed for an all out brawl!

Maybe, maybe not.

My eyes! My eyes! Good Lord, check your camera for cracks!

I ain't got a clue what you're talking about. I was by far the best lookin sumbuck in there....which ain't sayin a whole lot.

Whatever! I had three different women come up to me and ask if I could have you removed from the building. They said "That ugly, bald headed, knuckle draggin, Nancy is scaring my kids and husband" I had to pull some strings to even let you stay all night.

It really was good getting to see and talk with everyone lastnight. I appreciate all of you coming and supporting our chapter. If any of you would like to get involved in our chapter let me know and we will get you on the comittee.

We will have another shin dig at my house as soon as turkey season is over with and it is nice outside again.

Sounds like a plan to me. Had a good time too and it continued on at the Hard Dock afterwards!

I was to polluted to continue anything afterwards.

And this morning.

I was thinking it was time for the first annual preseason turkey calling, gun patterning, shot shell testing, beer drinkin, wimmins dancing, cookout at Yekrut's house!

That would be a good idea, Yekrut could just run his mouth.

Hes shooting Nitros.

I got my son a mossy 500 20g today, hope to get it going some. Gotta look for a choke tube.

No. I was up.at 5 with a well rested almost 2 year old ready to play this morning and had a big ole greasy breakfast at cracker barrel shortly after that. There were no long term ill effects.

Lightweights!!!!
