Thanks for all of the responses. I would have replied to all personally, but got behind with some work and decided to respond in here. I believe we have enough participants. I have forwarded all of them to Elizabeth and she will choose from the list. So if you are selected, I'm sure she will email you today. S

Seriously, We are looking for 5 forum users who can spend 30-45 minutes on the phone (and their computer) this Wednesday or Thursday morning for some user testing. You will be speaking with a consultant (Elizabeth) that has been helping us with the building and functionality of the new Realtree.com website. For your time, we will give you a $25 Realstore credit to spend how you'd like. If you are interested, this is what I need you to do: Send me an email at [email protected] with the subject heading: USER TESTING In the email include your: — Name — Email Address — Phone number Then to save a little time, copy, paste, and answer the following questions into the email: The questions are as follows: 1) Do you hunt several or more times a year? 2) Have you purchased, received, or given as a gift any clothing or gear with a camo pattern, in the past 2 years? 3) When are you available for a phone interview while connected to the Internet? (wed a.m. , wed pm, thurs a.m.) 4) How often do you visit the Realtree.com website? (first time; every now & then; frequently) I will collect the emails and forward them on so Elizabeth can determine who she wants to use. Thanks for your help, Scott Hughes [email protected]

It's on and looks great

Eddie Salter for Team AP just took an OSCEOLA, EASTERN, RIO and MERRIAM in 4 successive days while travelling by truck across North America. He completed their slam tonight in Colorado with a nice Merriam. I suspect Team AP will fill their Eastern tag in the morning in Kansas. If not then, definately somewhere on the road back. This is not not a timed race. The winning team will be decided when the scoring is done on Sunday night. I will say that what Eddie accomplished today and what Team APG will get done tomorrow or Friday has probably never been done before. Pretty amazing and we have covered it all live (which I know hasn't been done). These guys have done a great job. Be sure to tune in the rest of the week for continued coverage.

An update: Team APG (Phillip and Eddie) pulled ahead yesterday with their third bird (A Rio in OK) after Team AP (Daniel and Jeff) had taken their second (a Merriam in SD) on Monday. Well, Team AP just tied it up again taking a Rio in Kansas. The last bird taken by each team was done while wearing a Waffle House cap (which gets each team an additional 10 points in scoring). So AP needs an Eastern and APG (Headed to Colorado) needs their Merriam to finish their slams, which could happen today and in record time. If your not watching the live feeds they are sending, or following them on Twitter, you should. All the clips are on the site and it will be exciting to see who wins. Each team has had different strategies but when it comes down to it, we are doing something that has never been done before and could change how we do all our hunt coverage going forward. http://www.beardsorbust.com http://twitter.com/jeffanddaniel http://twitter.com/eddieandphillip

They have told us they will be making announcements, giving away a lot of product, and having photo contests, etc. So if you are on Facebook, make sure you become a fan of ThermaCELL: http://www.facebook.com/pages/ThermaCELL-Hunting/379272436002

Not sure if you guys are keeping up, but this has been a blast for all of us back here in GA. The two teams have two birds each on the ground with three different species and 6 days to go. We have had fights or arguments between teammates, two completely different strategies and a race that should come down to the wire. This has been great. Tune in to all the updates at Beardsorbust.com. Please be patient with some of the video. Because we are testing and starting this out on an open source called Ustream, there are some 15-30 second videos you have to wait on for some of the feeds. It's worth it though and thats something we won't have to deal with next year. Please help us make this a success! S

Not bad cars, but regardless of ever having to have repairs done, those and general maintenance will be pricey. Tires, parts, everything. Being able to afford the upkeep is the key.

Since I created the room, I consider ME the first. Welcome, use this room to discuss cars, trucks, boats ATVs or anything with a motor you use for hunting.

I want to break away from the turkey room with this just in case some folks have missed it. During a 10 day period next month, Realtree will be trying something never before attempted in the outdoor industry. It's called "Beards or Bust." Two 2-man teams (a hunter and a cameraman) will attempt to take a turkey grand slam in just 10 days. During that time, we will cover it all live with video, Twitter, and Facebook posts. They will broadcast from their trucks on the road, the camps, the woods, or wherever they might be at the time. Additionally, David Blanton will broadcast here from our office every afternoon with a live updates and critiques of the hunter's day on the road or in the woods. We hope everyone will try to tune in and watch. The success of this event could lead to live coverage from the road next fall during deer and other seasons. Tell your friends and bookmark the page below and help us make this a great success. Thanks, S http://www.beardsorbust.com/

"these guys were extremely cool to talk to" Are you sure Tim was one of them? JK, glad you had a good time and welcome to the forums. S

See what we posted today. Just a little teaser for whats to come in April. I think turkey hunters are going to like it. S

They'll be fine I'm sure. Those are long flights. I am going to Germany for a show in March and the only thing I don't like is the time it takes to get over there (and stuck on a plane). S

Steve, what they are talking about in here is a completely different site than what you and others have tested. That site is currently being shifted to new and bigger servers for a launch next week. Everyone will get that news then.

And Jeff, might have to dig a little deeper than a simple Google search. It hasn't been up long enough or gotten enough traffic to appear on that radar... yet.
