Ok every one…. I want to first apologize to all our friends from out of state that drove down here expecting beautiful Florida weather and instead got a little rain on Saturday and a whole lot of it today. It was unfortunate and next year I will book it the last weekend of February as we seem to have better luck with our weather on that weekend….. our official attendance was 55 people including myself, my son and my wife. It was down from last year but with the weather, zone B deer closing and NWTF expo, we were competing with a lot. I will do better with scheduling next year!
I want to extend special thank you for driving down to:
@TreeMunkie ,
@Just_Hangin_N_GA ,
@always89y (and Chandler)
@GeoFish,
@DanO (for sending Hunter, he’s a great guy and you should be proud of what an ambassador he is for EWO)!
@Bucketlist (sorry I truly did get distracted and owe you a burger or two next year!)
@Weldabeast thanks for all your help and we are all glad the holy water didn’t finish you off!
@Capttickle it was great catching up and looking forward to hunting with you some this coming year.
@RookieJD ,
@knightryder23 ,
@cutty ,
@Bucketlist and all the other members I might have forgotten to list here, I am so glad you guys came out to hang out and share stories, tips, and gear.
@ScottL thabks for coming out and trekking in the rain BUT next year you guide one of the northerners and I guide one or two of the others, we can’t stick together and leave them in unfamiliar territory.
@cedar paul we missed ya bud and sorry you couldn’t make it out. Your shirt is in the mail and you were with us in spirit.
Finally a big thank you to our sponsors who donated nearly twice as much gear as we’ve had in previous years. If everyone would, please be sure to email, tag on social media ect these great companies and let them know how much you enjoyed the opportunity to try out their gear and even win some. So thank you again to:

@always89y I wish you and Chandler could have stuck around to watch 30 grown men race into the woods tripping all over each other in the Saddle Hide & Seek event! It was extremely entertaining.
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully some of you got pics and videos as I’d love to show them here and also to our sponsors on social media so that they know their products were sat in, tried out and greatly appreciated.
Thank you everyone again and hopefully can continue this for years to come!
