I am headed to the convention (Feb. 9th through the 12th) on that Saturday and was wondering about those from here who are headed there who would be there on Saturday. VaTurkey and I were talking about getting everyone together in the front lobby at a certain time and have a group pic made for the site and email to those who want one so that they could print one out. I was also wondering about purchasing a Banner....I checked with Vista Print and one 8' long would run around 50 bucks total, and could be here in time to hold infront of the group, I had this in mind...... in very large letters....OLD GOBBLER.COM then under it .... NATIONAL CONVENTION 2012 ... THEN UNDER THAT ....PUTTING FACES WITH NAMES.....on a white banner with black lettering. If you think this will work, I would appreciate some help to offset the price, so if everyone who was thinking on attending donate say....5.00 each it would only take ten to make the purchase price...or anyone willing to donate till we reach the price that would be good too, then put everyone's name in a hat and draw for the banner. We could all sign it too...what do you all think? Pappy
Pappy, I think it's a great idea even though I'm not attending the Nashville Show in 2012 but plan on attending it in 2013.. However, I will be attending the Unicoi Show In North,Ga. in January 2012. With that said and even though I'm not going I'd be more than happy to donate 5 dollars on the banner for the Nashville 2012 show in support of this site,our group of folks here and the cause being the wonderful sport of turkey hunting. Let me know by pm if this shapes up to the point where you'll need my donation The Cohutta Strutter...
I'll be in the Hooks booth that morning working. But if it fit into my schedule I would defiantly like to meet some of the guys, and would kick in $5 for the banner deal and if you don't do the banner, we should still plan on getting a pic with everyone that is there.
Thanks guys for your responses on this, I just think it would be a great thing, callmaker or not, it would be super to see some faces to go with the ID's here on the site....pappy
I met alot of mighty fine folks from OG last year. CASH, HARDCORE, FLYDOWN, 4NWTF, CATDADDY, HEADCRUSHER, & a few more. Just dont ask them if there are any birds in BAMA ! :TooFunny:
vaturkey :newmascot:
If it works out that me and Wes (gob09) can go, we sure would show up for a meet.
Starting to think about going. Only 7.5 hrs from here. I'll definitely pony up for an OG pic to help out.
I hope this list keeps growing
That was sure a good idea you had Pappy ! :icon_thumright:
I may be there.
I'll be there and pitch in.

If you will be there then Chaz will be there holding your hand. :TooFunny:
Maybe you can show us folks some of the new dance steps that Chaz has taught you . :icon_thumright:
I will be there this year.
Jack,
Great idea, sign me up!!! The show is a real zoo on Saturday, and I would suggest meeting in the Ryman Foyer which is the long hall that literally bisects the show floor and is to the left of the show entrance. The Ryman Foyer isn't as crowded or hectic as the main entrance and seldom has much foot traffic and you can enter or exit the exhibit floor at the end of the foyer. I think that you ought to be the "Keeper of the Banner" for use at future NWTF events, the date on the banner can be changed for future shows, and everyone can sign w/ the current date. I think that that could be the start of a neat annual tradition.
Craig
I will be in attendance as well! Mainly moreso on Friday but Saturday morning as well. Hope to see some of you folks! :firefighter:
this was done a few years ago, we meet upstairs next to where everyone registers and get tickets for the show. i think the first time old gobbler done it was 09. they had the pic taken right after the nwtf fourm guys had theirs done.
i think there was about 25 or so folks there. both groups met before the show opened. someone should have some pics of that group of turkey killers. i think i had a couple but dont know where they re now.if you have early enough the folks working the show can show up then get back to their booths before the show opens. for those who has not been there when the show opens on saturday it is packed from the folks wanting to get in the show.
scott
ill be there
I'll be there and would love to meet up!
I will be there for the third year in a row!!! Wife and kids will be in tow (they made their first trip last year and had a blast), I would be happy to pitch in if need be...or maybe we could find a banner sponsor? I look forward to seeing everyone again and meeting a few more folks!!!
I'll be there too, just not sure what my work schedule will be on Saturday. But would love to meet more OG members!
bumping this up to keep it going....

GO PAPPY GO PAPPY GO PAPPY :z-guntootsmiley: :you_rock:
I'll be there! :z-guntootsmiley: Let's make a date :you_rock:
I'll be there this year.
I'll be there also Pappy just what ever you need....Johnny...
I will be at derby city booth please stop by and say hello.
Scott
I should be there Saturday and possibly Sunday as well, depending who goes with me.
I'll be there Saturday! Sounds pretty neat.
Ok, here's the deal....looks like most will be there on Saturday, so I would like to get everyone together in the front at 11:00 a.m. for the picture .... that should give everyone time to be there, and those in their booths could setup a few minutes with someone so they could be there. The banner is going to be ordered today, it will cost 55.00 ... so, I am asking that whoever wants to, gift me a couple bucks, to paypal, as that is where I will be sending payment from, to: pappy@pappyscalls.com ..... I will monitor to make sure we don't get over the amount for the banner, and post when we have enough to keep anyone from sending anymore.
It would be cool for folks to try to bring their OG caps, if they have one, also, we will need to number individuals, during the pose, so we can have a list of names on the photo, you know how they do in the news papers when there a pic in there.....don't want to put the wrong name with the right face...lol....
SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE THERE SATURDAY AT 11:00 COME ON OUT TO THE FRONT AREA, I HOPE TO HAVE THE BANNER OUT IN THE OPEN SO EVERYONE WILL SEE IT AND KNOW WHERE WE ARE....AND IF YOU CAN, PLEASE DONATE TO THE BANNER COST...PAPPY
I cant believe its already convention time again.
Sounds good Pappy. Looks like everything is coming together ! See ya in Nashville ! :icon_thumright:
Ricky :newmascot:
I'll be there also.
so far we have 10.00 for the banner accumulated...pappy
I'll be there for sure . This is my 18th convention . I hope I never miss one . I'll be in my booth , ShadeTree Callers #63 . It'll be very busy but if someone grabs me I would be up for the picture and donating 5 bucks for the cause . I agree that the Ryman foyer would be a good choice . It would be easier to slip away for a few minutes . Looking forward to seeing everyone there ! Make sure to stop by and visit !!
Man this is gonna be a great convention.....I hope everyone gets a chance to be there....we have 22.00 so far...on the banner see ya there...pappy
Be there Friday not sure about Sat.

We are thinking Saturday around 11:30 or noon, giving everyone time to be ready for the pic, we are also thinking about the foyuer area, out front, so it won't be so crowded, hopefully. So, far we have 49.00 on the banner cost, so if you can please donate.....pappy
Hey Pappy
If you will bring a small grill , I'll bring the hotdogs & we will cook them in the convention parking lot. They are 5.00 each inside ! :fire: tky*dy*
Doris and I will be there every day in Booth #552 but since it's just the 2 of us, it's hard for us to get away. I hope you'll all stop by and say hello sometime while you're there. We'd love to "put faces to names" as well.
Thanks,
Clark

I can't make the NWTF Convention but count me in on the banner. Who and when do we send the money too?
MAN...............I am sweating' huge drops of anticipation.....this is gonna be a blast....if you are carrying your cell phone, pm me your number so we can start calling folks about fifteen minutes before we take the pic, that should give everyone time to get there in the front area. pappy ( I won't be giving out any numbers, so don't ask me to, this is for contacting for pic purpose only)
I added a new category to the forum board gallery so you can post some pics of your convention shenanigans and share with us all!
Cant wait to see the names with the faces!! take lots of pics if you are going! :)
