WWPHA meeting at Cabela's

[halflife65]

Crap, wish I would've known about that.  Sorry I missed it.  That's one thing (amongst many, I suppose) that I don't have any experience with - I could've learned a lot.

Anyone know if there will be another one somewhere/time?

Cabela's actually didn't know that was the topic of the meeting. Somebody missed it because the "Outfitters" didn't know there was a "Cougar Calling Seminar" going on that day.

3 different people told him there wasn't a talk going on... so he left.

He was upset when he found out what happened, and he called Cabela's and explained. The store Manager said they want me to come back and do it again sometime after New Years, and they'll advertise it themselves.

Rainshadow1:  When I made the reservation for the room, I told them it was a cougar calling seminar and that we would need additional seating as we expected a full house.  Well, they did change the seating to allow for more people but all they had on the door was a "Reserved" sign at that was it.  I guess I should of made sure they put up more signage to get the word out.  Lesson learned there.  I think they might pay a little more attention now when we make a reservation.

If they do not set you up for another seminar early next year, let me know and I can maybe get another reservation, book both rooms with them knowing you will be putting on the seminar again.

Thanks again for everything you did for us that day and we did gain one new member for our WWPHA so far.

Thanks again..

Randy.

Rainshadow1:  Also, I will be giving the video I took at the seminar to BTKR as soon as I get it copied.  It is a full 2 hours unedited.  I will see to it you get a copy of the finished product.

Rainshadow - If they set you up with a seminar make sure to find out where they will set you up.

Cabela's doesn't normally announce, or make public, the reservations for their meeting rooms.

I am sure that when someone asked an employee about the "cougar calling seminar" that the employee thought it would be like all the other "seminars", advertised and in one of the hunting sections on the store floor.

If they had asked about the WWPHA meeting they probably would have been directed to the meeting room.

Rick, 3" in a 3.5" is fine. Just don't shoot 3.5" in a 3"!!!! 

Wish you got that cat, man! Glad you got into some critters though.

If you get up this way, bring everything with you, I'll load your caller up for you. I'd like to play with the Foxpro anyway.

arees, thanks for attending! Really appreciate it, and please feel free to keep in touch. I'd like to know how it goes.
     That goes for all you guys who target Lions... I want to hear your stories!!!
