The hunters tables are a great value... Our chapter President has been doing Yeoman's work on this, and we got a good group of dedicated guys working on this.

We went two years ago and it was one of the more fun auctions I have been to.  There were tons of high quality Avian X decoys new in the box, guns, hunts, taxidermy, vintage stuff and the famous used canoe that my son somehow talked me into.  Great group of people there for sure.  My son walked away with two new calls and a half dozen boxes of 20 gauge that other guys just gave him.

It was a good banquet, and I managed to beat win the bid on the etched Woodenville Whiskey Bottle. Rick and the guys did an awesome job putting this event together.

We had a great time, won a few and left very happy.  We are very grateful for those who spent a bunch of time putting it on.  Fantastic event as expected.

Rob Wingard the WDFW Private lands Biologist for Region 4 will be giving a presentation about where all the pieces of property are and how the program works. He did an awesome presentation last year before the season and really cued us in on the best way to approach using them, as well as the rules.

Several NW chapter folks hunted them a bunch. They seemed lie a great way for a quick morning hunt.

7pm Conway Fire hall. It is the firehouse just to the south of the road that takes to to fir island where the Headquarters unit is.

Great video from the Seattle Chapter on making sausage and brauts

[Stein]

Duck summer sausage is excellent, the brats I made were just OK.  I think I need more fat next time.
