Winnie GTG Dec. 5-7 let the fun begin

[MJ1657]

Well guys its getting closer. We need the weather to cool down but that can change fast.

I'll be dragging Mollie with as usual. Hope we can have a big turn out and maybe get a couple new people into the sport.

What are some of the Resorts we should look at for rooms?

Dixon Lake Resort is where everyone usually stays. I'm not sure if I can make it this year or not going to depend on my wife's work schedule

[MJ1657]

Gosh Dam place has rooms for rent to. If I remember correctly its about 30 miles to the landing from there.

You better be there!

I won't make this one, I will make the late one or one of the Saturday ones at fish lake so I can put some faces to the forum names.

Wish you could make it hopefully you can make the second.

Fish lake is on Sundays.

I can't wait to get back on the ice and watch my new decoys get some teeth marks. The GTG is such a fun way to kick off the season.

[Neighbor_guy]

I will be there and the goose will be in tow!!! Can't wait.

I will have Bowhunts decoy stic and a slew of decoys as well. This one is a good time and if you can get there it's a great way to start the season.

[fishuhalik]

I'm still pretty salty that I'm the guy that talked y'all into doing the gtg here & I've never been able to go. Probably never gonna get to go now that I'm living in Texas

[MJ1657]

You'll get tired of Texas and come back....

Looks like cold weather is moving in fast. Bring on the ice!

Glad to hear that. Its great that you always introduce someone new to the sport.

[mwal]

I have to apologize about the article in the darkhouse news.

There was some confusion with the editor thinking the east central chapter sponsors this event but that of course is not the case.

The darkhouse association will still supply decoys for the youngest kids and the $50 decoy for the look and release prize (winner will be voted for on these forums) but HSO is the official sponsor of this event.

Sorry for the mixup we will get it right next year.

At least there is some free advertising out there promoting the event and the nord lord traveling trophy finally gets it's due... :-)

I sure wish I could make this but finals are the week following and my time will have to be devoted to studying.

Good luck to all the participants and I'm sure a great time will be had.

Link to the article Merk?

[Neighbor_guy]

It made me pause a second when I read it, but there were a few typos in the paper this time, so figured it was a mix up. But when you look at the number of east central chapter members who attend it could go either way.

Just set up a table in the shack and multitask.

There is a lot of things I really do good in the dark but studying is not one of them;)

[hawkeye43]

I too will not be able to attend the GTG this year. Some things are out of my control. I hope everyone has a good time and I will be back for the Nor-Lord, again.

I guess the trophy is up for grabs this year then, hopefully see you at the late season one Ken.

[smurfy]

and again this year I cant make it either. work gets in the way. at some point that trophy needs to come back to the first.....one and only true nord lord!!

RIGHT GORDIE!!!!!!!

[MJ1657]

I talked to Dixon's and have pizzas on standby for Friday night.

They have a couple inches of ice.

[MJ1657]

I figured I'd give a little run down of events.

A lot of us get up there Friday morning and set houses. Pizza and beverages in the lodge Friday night. Potluck on the ice at noon saturday. I'll have a bbq grill if anyone needs to use it. Official Nord Lord presentation at noon on sunday. I got a peek at the 1st 2nd and 3rd place decoys and whoever gets them is a lucky guy or girl.

I'll have a bump board by my house for official measurements throughout the weekend.

If anyone needs anything or if someone wants to come that doesn't have a house or equipment let me know. Between all of us we could probably set a small army up to spear.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
