Lancaster County 2011 Ducks Unlimited Banquet Post Game Report

Last week I went to the Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited Banquet and before I even got into the building I could tell that the chapter was putting on another great event. As I pulled into the parking lot I had to drive to the very back just to find parking space. The place was already packed and I thought I had arrived a little early. Just driving in I saw a lot of ATV?s out front on the grass lawn in front of the building plus I saw a very large, vinyl covered trailer that read ?Jo Jo?s Barbeque?. Even though I parked way in the back I was able to smell the barbeque cooking when I stepped out of my car. It was going to be a good night indeed.
I got closer to the door and saw some guys wearing Chesterfield County Ducks Unlimited shirts! It was WeHuntSC.com blogger
Gavin Jackson
and some other members of the newly formed Chesterfield County Ducks Unlimited Chapter. If you?re in Chesterfield County and want to be a part of it then just contact Gavin. I believe the upcoming meeting is this Saturday, but I believe Gavin is going to blog about that.
Robbie Boone, President Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited Chapter
Inside the event there were a ton of people and you could feel the buzz in the air. The event had DJ Justin Funderburk on hand playing country music in the beginning of the event. A couple of vendors had booths set up to the left at the back, the silent auction tables were to the right, and the live auction items were on tables to the left. At the front of the room, just in front of the speaking podium, were more prizes that would be raffled off.
WinnTuck
was in the house as well as
Blake Hodge
and the Wrecking Crew and the smell of Jo Jo?s barbeque filled the room.
I was speaking with some fellow Pagelanders when everyone started eating. It didn?t take us long to file in line either. As we got through eating our Jo Jo?s barbeque (which was good!) the event had begun. The auctioneer was going a mile a minute as different items were auctioned off. It was really neat to see and experience the live auction. There were some great items on hand for auctioning and bidding. Every year I keep thinking I?m going to bid on those Corn-hole boards that they have?they look really good.
The items sold pretty quickly with some going at heated bids. As you would imagine the guns were hot items along with some of the paintings/prints. Half way through the evening WeHuntSC.com blogger and world champion duck & goose caller Blake Hodge gave a calling demo. You could see eyebrows raising all over the building during his demo.
Check out the images from the evening
If you want to experience a top-notch Duck Unlimited banquet then be sure to check out the Lancaster chapter?s event. It?s top notch. I enjoyed the evening and look forward to going back next year. Congratulations to the chapter for putting on such a well organized event.
Regards,
Clint

2013 Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited Banquet
This past week I attended the 2013 Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited banquet. This is my 3rd time attending the event and this year’s banquet did not disappoint. Robbie Boone is the Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited Chapter President and he and his chapter members always run a well-organized, good eaten’, packed out event. Every year I always look forward to the event because I know there are going to be a ton of great prizes, some awesome Jo Jo’s BBQ, and a good time with friends. If the event keeps growing they’re going to have to find another event venue. Also important to note is the reason for the event. The event was created to help raise funds for Ducks Unlimited to help protect our wetlands and to ensure the overall health of duck hunting as a sport for years to come. DU Chapters all over the country host these events and the money goes to the larger Ducks Unlimited organization. These events are what help keep duck hunting stay a managed and successful sport for outdoorsman. Along with the ...
2011 SC Turkey Competition Winners Receive Prizes
$(function() { $('#gallery a').lightBox(); }); I recently met our 2011 Montana Decoy Turkey Competition winners to give them their prizes. As you are most likely aware, our site audience voted and Mark and William emerged as our winners. After the announcement we had to schedule and coordinate a meeting place to deliver the prizes. Since Mark and William hail from areas distant from each other we had to line it up for different days and it even was raining as Mark received his prizes. Nevertheless we still got it done, but we didn?t shoot much video? just pictures. It was definitely a good day for William Babb and Mark Cody when we met and they were all smiles ...
Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited 1st Annual Frog Gigging Tournament
This past weekend Lancaster County Ducks Unlimited had its 1st annual frog gig. It's the first one ever in the state and it turned out really well. Some have asked and perhaps you are reading this and wondering… why a frog gigging tournament? So before we get into the details of the competition I’d like to give some backstory to this event. A few months ago the guys and I were at a Ducks Unlimited planning meeting sitting around thinking of ways we could raise some money for DU and we were specifically brainstorming ways we can raise support other than having a dinner banquet or a hunter’s party. We wondered what we could do to attract some new people. We had to think outside the box. After thinking a little while I said “Guys what about a frog gigging tournament?” They all kind of questioned it, but the more we read into in and studied frog gigging the more we found people doing it. And that was all we needed to get the wheels in motion. So we all set ...
