Official 2006 Elk info thread- More prizes added!!

Randy = Monterey County
Seabreeze = Monterey County

SOTB rocks!

Okay, I've divided the state up a few different ways....

North vs South
North vs Central vs South
Regionally (North of the Gate "NOTG", South of the Gate "SOTG", Southern California "SoCal", Central Valley "CV", Mountian "MT")

Mountain is a bit of a catch all for all the mountainous counties that I didn't know where else to put.

Let me know which you like better and whether anyone has any strong objections the way I classified particular counties.  It's all based by county, so we can slice and dice many ways in the end.

I will defer the reading of the map to my girlfriend who ISN'T color blind!

Looks good Brian. I am pretty sure we don't have any SoCalies though, unless Levi wants to be a team of one...

What are we playing for though??

Mostly just bragging rights.  I hadn't thought of an actual prize.  Maybe we need a trophy or maybe a nice bottle of tequila or something the winning team can share in celebration.

A trophy might be fun.

Traveling trophy... something big and obnoxious.

How about a travlling trophy/plaque that has a big ol' lingcod with elk antlers (think jackolope) paddling a kayak on it?

Bringing home the jackaling!   Too sweet!!!

Jackaling sounds great, anyone know someone that can make one?

Any do-it-yourself taxidermists out there?

If my wife could stand the smell, I would do a skull prep on a ling (remove all the bones and reassemble)and add some antlers (if I could get ahold of some).  I'm guessing she's not going to approve and it looks like my schedule probably won't include lingcod fishing until Elk.

Alternatively, we need someone who can draw/paint/woodburn/sculpt/dacoupage/embroider/etc....

Paging Mr. Skyboy, paging Mr. Skyboy....

Stick that ling head on an ant hill. They will do the dirty work for ya.

Just bring a few cotton t-shirts that you'll want printed, I'll take care of picking up the paints and Sean has informed me that this will be an official activity and that I'll be reimbursed for supplies.

Oh, with the t-shirts.. light colored shirts are great with dark paints, but also consider dark shirts with light colored paint.   And if you're bringing new shirts be sure to wash them first... having a new t-shirt shrink will crack the paints.

What about just some printing on the shirts like "Big Ling Team"

What about just some printing on the shirts like "Big Ling Team"

That works great for the NOTG team but what about the SOTG team .......  "Little Ling Team"
