I believe it will definitely help you achieve your goals. You should also consider joining a local hunting organization or possibly starting one. As motivated as you are along with your outdoor contacts and computer skills, you would be a great addition to the NWTF, NRA or QDMA. You would also be the perfect "authority" figure to start a new chapter or branch yourself if you don't have any of these in your area. You can also skip the groups and just call the Buckmasters American Deer Foundation; David will arrange for you and Jeff to take a disabled hunter for a couple of days this coming season.

Sounds like you have a nice agenda planned. You may not believe this, but I'm a bit shy myself. One thing that I found helped me when I joined new groups was to find one thing I could do for that group. When I worked with the local Friends of the NRA, I discovered they didn't have anyone who really understood marketing, I was able to work within my comfort zone and do a lot to help the organization as well. It does help with the shyness. Thanks also for your support of the OBS. We really appreciate it. In retrospect, we probably were too ambitious when we tried for a 2008 Summit. 2009 will give everyone plenty of notice and give us lots more time to plan. Make sure you let us know how your outings go. Also, I want to know what dish you bring to the dinner. Bravo! Sounds like you have a nice agenda planned.
