There is a AZ Black Bear permit to be auctioned off at the ABA Banquet on Saturday April 14th. If you know anyone interested help spread the word. It can be sold in any state via phone bidder if you know someone out of state!

What a great response from the bowhunting community! The ABA Banquet appears to be sold out and we had to shut down online sales this afternoon! Thanks to all who support your organizations, if you are attending I hope you have a great evening. There are some great items available, the Swarovski 15x56's would fit perfect in my plans! Thanks to All, ABA Board of Directors

Tomorrow is the last day for this deal on tickets. Looks like it is going to be a great banquet and there "is going to be a crowd".

That is "way too perfect" ! Great family time outdoors. Dick

Good luck on the move an I hope it is positive. There is some great Whitetail hunting in Nebraska!! I have not hunted there but have friends that do. But, I have gone to Kansas the last several years and love it. Good luck, Dick

Very late but never too late for prayer! God be with your family through this time or sorrow. We never will understand the plan that God has for us and some times it is hard for us to understand. I know that Garrett must have touched a lot of people including his family. There will come a time when you can look back and smile with the knowledge that Garrett had an assignment here on earth the he obviously completed to to the glory of God. My stepson went through two open heart surgeries between age of 16 through 21 and was killed in a single car accident at 23. Unfortunately, as happens with so many young people, he had been drinking with buddies and decided to drive home. His death impacted a lot of people,a couple of his closest friends have never had a drink since that night and it has been 26 years. The memories never go away but smiles with the memories become easier in time. I pray for you and your family that through all this you will soon reach the day where thoughts of Garrett brings smiles instead of tears. Never forget the good times and God Bless!

The scores are posted on the ABA site and the Usery Mtn Archers site. Thanks go out to over 200 shooters showed up for the "6th Annual Cactus Classic", the 1st Leg of the Triple Crown held at Usery Mountain Park this past weekend. Congratulations to Usery Mtn. Archers for putting on such a great event! You always are first class and it never is a simple as it seems! Thanks for all you do! Link to Scores on ABA site. Usery Mtn Archers site

After running into brick walls for so many years, you have to understand that the ABA Board of Directors is thrilled to be able to make this announcement. Few people really understand all the hassles that are encountered trying to hold an event like this. There are few places that have the means to handle the vehicles, getting permits, etc:. I think every imaginable venue had been explored the last few years in the Flagstaff area. That is where the ABA belongs and it is good to be "going home". Morman Lake is where it all began over 30 years ago!!

Bowhunter Happening 2011- July 29-30-31 Ground work is being laid to hold the 2011 Bowhunter Happening back where it originated over 30 years ago, Mormon Lake, AZ. Mormon Lake may not be today what it was then but hopefully all the effort of finding a home in the high country of northern Arizona will bring back a lot of the "old atmosphere" that made the Bowhunter Happening one of the greatest shoots in the country. As we finalize all the in and outs we will post them to keep everyone as informed as possible! The ABA Board of Directors has worked tirelessly for several years trying to find a home in the I-17 corridor of northern Arizona. Always obstacle!! Unbelievable obstacles! Persistence has finally paid off and the BHH will be in a sense "going back home". As more information becomes available we will post it.
