stevebeilgard Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 o.k., it's time to let the cat out of the bag.. You've read the teasers for over a month now. Here's what's happening, and i think it may happen fast. For months now, devious plans have been shaping up for Gillette Wyoming. I'm entertaining a few very special guests, and some of you may want to come also. this September 5 to 10. Here's who we know are coming to Gillette, to hunt antelope on some pretty special property. Mr. Realtree himself, BUCKEE Tim Andrus Randy Oitker Vermont hunter, Luke, in the flesh Travis (t-bone) Turner is still a maybe Scott Hughes. (here's your chance to "get even") A few others not yet fully committed. And, if someone gets really stupid, you can hunt with me. As you may remember, Buckee has had some serious medical problems, and has not been able to work. Just before Christmas, we had a little collection for him. well, i suspect his funds are not flowing freely just yet, and we've set up this deal to help him out. Here's what i'm offering: select your favority pro, and hunt with him. the cost will be $1500.00 per hunter, which is half of what i used to charge. you will be responsible for your own food/lodging/travel. camping can be arranged. ALL FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR RT FOLKS, starting with Buckee. Maybe ending with him, too. We'll see. THIS IS ARCHERY ONLY (firearms doesn't open until Oct.) First come, first served. If you want to hunt with Buckee, and get your check in after someone else has him, you're out. Simple as that. I expect all hunts to sell fast, but i've been worng before. So, if all hunts do not sell by february 15, I'm selling them on ebay, where i know they will sell fast. I'll hold a spot with a pm sent to me. in fact, pm me with any questions, or whatever you need. CAUTION: there will be at least 2 camera crews present, representing different shows. If you come with someone, make sure it's someone you're supposed to be seen with. I'm not going to reveal who the cameras are, or what they will be doing. But, if you've ever wanted to have a chance of being on t.v., well... maybe. No promises as the cameras will go where they think best. There are also two more film crews still thinking, so it could get real interesting..... I feel this may well turn out to be the realtree trip of all trips. I promise great hunting, and feel a 100% kill is probable to certain. I simply cannot predict weather. Rain will hurt, of course. You'll see hundreds of antelope each day, and have a great opportunity to harvest a Pope & Young buck. You can also take does, up to 5. I'll simply do whatever it takes, to make this a dream trip. You'll be in a blind over a waterhole, with antelope all around you. So, go do the dishes, vacuum the house, and get the lady some flowers. also, promise to bring her along. non hunters may come, at personal expense only. Or, if it's a lady hunting, bring the guy. I it's a "signafant other," leave it home. lol Come on out and LET'S HUNT! THIS IS ARCHERY ONLY Area 23, type 1 If you are interested in hunting out West and want to know more about drawing tags, please check out The Draw in the Altitude section.

Canuck2 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 OK, I'm the first culprit; I'm going on the hunt. And I'm with VermontHunter - the summer will be waaayyyy too long. Boy is this going to be a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 If someone would be so kind as to bring up the antelops pics from my album you will be able to see the quality of Pronghorn that you will be seeing on this hunt. Gillette, WY. is one of the hot-spots in the whole country for Pronghorns. This is an incredible opportunity if you've ever thought of hunting antelope. Mr. & Mrs. Beilgard are fabulous hosts and the hunting is outstanding. If you are close to jumping in on this hunt, I'd like to encourage you to do it. You definately will not regret it. Thanks again Mr. B lots of fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Mr. B lots of fond memories. thanks much, buddy, and you're welcome. and okidog, i think i'm going to stop at 5 hunters. my post is a bit misleading. sorry. there are 4 slots open presently, and three folks looking pretty hard.... as i said earlier, 1st come, 1st served. time to think seriously... i want to keep this small enough to give lots of personal attention, and make sure everyone does very well.

JJL Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Please add the name Joseph Lichthardt to the list of hunters. He's my 14 yr. old son who is very proficient with a bow in his hand. I'll take care of his guide work with a little help from the "locals". I told you that this was a great opportunity, I'm not going to miss out on it. I suggest that you don't either. The "Dancing Queen" will dance again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJL Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Wait until you meet the new and improved JJL.......with JJL jr. in tow. When we moved to Colorado there came with it a HUGE change in lifestyle. Lost 35 lbs. quit drinking( only for medicinal purposes now) elliptical trainer for 45 min/day. I'm a new man. I had to. Home is at 8000 ft. and I work at 10,000 ft. That thin air was kicking my butt. It's time to focus on the boy now. He knocked down a cow elk this fall and got the bug. Now he wants to do it ALL. If it keeps him off that Playstation, I'm all for it. I'm still young and sweet....only 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertip_co Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 You should have emailed me privately at Christmas for money Steve. Let me know where to send a donation. I can't come hunt but I would like to just come visit the weekend of Sept 5-6-7 so I can visit with my wonderful friends and also maybe see our BNSF operations there. I'll get a room or sleep in my truck unless I have my camper trailer bought ( I hope I hope I hope) . I'll contact Erica too as she may want to donate. Dawn just told me she wants to ride along with me. This may be more fun than Elkatraz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
