A couple more door prizes added to the pile:

A set of Leupold BX-1 McKenzie HD 42mm Binos (donated by @Mark Biggerstaff .. thanks Mark!)

And a Streamlight Waypoint 400.. also donated by @Mark Biggerstaff (thanks again Mark!)... If any of you hunt MLD program land in TX and have to do deer surveys.. this is the spotlight I use.. its freaking incredible.. holds a charge MUCH longer than my other spotlight, and is crazy bright.. makes getting my headcount soooooo much easier.. awesome light!

[BourbonTrail]

I hope everyone has a great time, this is a cool event that seems to have become quite the tradition

You know it’s a pretty short and easy flight from the bourbon trail to DFW….

Just sayin..

Every kid deserves a set of youth binos!

Another door prize for the party.. this one donated by R&M Firearms in El Campo..

In addition to the signed and numbered prints listed earlier, Candles for Conservation ( candlesforconservation.com ) is donating a set of "Big 5" candles as a door prize as well.. these are 100% all natural, soy, cotton wicked, no chemicals, no additives, etc..etc.. candles with some great scents like Koffie, Hemingways Library (leather and oil), African wildberries, and others... they each have the same artwork from Anet Kruger on them that the signed/numbered/LE prints do..

Still adding to the door prize pile..

a handmade/custom drop point hunter... made by Crusader Cutlery (i.e. mdwest / me )...

D2 tool steel.. giraffe bone handle scales.. a mosaic pin in the rear and D2 pins in the front.. the sheath will be an ambidextrous "taco" type sheath that I make for pretty much all of my knives (both my own and any other knife I carry..).. Im sure I'll add a paracord lanyard to it before its over with as well..

still needs a little clean up and some tiny tweaks.. but the pic below gives a pretty good idea of how it looks..
