I heard back from the folks at Natures educators and they have some weekends avaiable in January but I need to book quickly. We could go Sat Jan 14 or Sunday Jan 15th. I'm looking for 10 or more to sign up so we can keep the cost down. It is $100.00 for 90 minutes of shooting in the open space so it would run $10 per person if we get 10 folks to sign.

Please use this post to give me a firm commitment and if either of these dates will work. I'm thinking AM is probably better.

Here is his info on where we will shoot:

Hi Jack! Glad to hear you have some people interested. We're available all weekend days in Janurary except the 21st. Would you be willing to meet at an open space area? Our facility isn't open to the public and we don't have good backgrounds at all anyway. Jewell Wetlands Open Space in Aurora is fairly close to us. Are you familiar with that space? Also, 10 people is great! We can really do any number. Let me know, thanks so much!

I wil get specific directions to this location but I don't think it is too far out.

He wants to know if live prey is OK or should we use dearly departed?

Sign up now!!! :smile:

Both days are fine for me.

Only the weekends of the 7,8th or 21,22nd are open for me since I have to work the weekend of the 14,15th.

I can do either day, but I get off of work at 7am on the 14th, so if it's too early for me to make it from Pueblo, I'd have to pass...the 15th would work a whole lot better for me.

Either day is good for me! I'm in! Depending on the time I can check out some places for lunch nearby for afterwards if anyone is interested?
Posted by Bill Pelzmann on December 22, 2011 at 9:49 PM
A lunch option would be a great idea, Anne.

Can't wait to view the results!

Sunday the 15th is GREAT for me. I'll be there!
I will need directions or an address for the open space this will be held at.
Posted by Randall K. Roberts on December 25, 2011 at 2:20 PM
If there's room for me, I can do either day. Sounds like great fun! Directions would be great.
thanks again

Oh, and my wife would like to come and shoot, too, if possible. Thanks again!

Vince

Hi, Is there a specific time we want to start? and can we get directions to the shoot? I live up north, so will be coming down I25.

thanks

I can't say I'm thrilled about live prey, but it's not a deal breaker.
