Congrats to all the Roosters that are listed above, and to all that competed. There are lots of members/friends here that I know that were recognized...way to go.
A big shout out to my ole Big Eared Kentuckian...Frank Kruer on his FIRST competition. Boy did he STEP OUT PROUD....way to go bud--you as all the other have worked hard and you guys should be proud of what you guys have accomplished.
Another thanks for the Group of guys(some members here also) that put such effort for us makers and buyers to show our wares to the hunting community. Midwest always puts on a great show and ALL those guys work their rear ends off to put the show on...cudo's guys !!!!!

Congrats to all who entered. A big shout out for Jeff and Frank on a great showing. My calls are  eing held hostage by the USPS in Grand Rapids. Apparently they are the victims of transit damage also. Just talked to postmaster to arrange getting them returned.

Congrats to everyone!!! I enjoyed judging them and I played every call entered all 300. And let me tell you there is some up and coming super stars in the making. And of course there's some old pros that always rise to the top. So keep up the great work guys and if you didn't enter this year..... Please consider sending a call or two up next year it really is a treat to have such top notch talent all in one room. And it helps break up our 10 month winters we have up here  *aah*
