Great picture Aaron, chokes me to death looking at that collar buttoned . :sweatdrop:

You'll probably be amused to find out that I went out and bought that shirt and tie last night, because I never wear stuff that nice.  Then I had to get on youtube and watch (and re-watch twice) a video demonstrating how to tie a double windsor necktie knot.  Yeah, I'm THAT classy.   :whistling:

Classier than I for sure. I'm lazy when it comes to getting dressed, so on the rare occasion I have to wear a noose, I settle just do the four-in-hand knot. That drove my grandpa crazy (he was GQ before there was such a thing) so I tied a Windsor knot for his funeral to appease his spirit, and that's probably the last time I'll put that much effort into it.

Pretty awesome man.

Congrats on the land score too.  :D

Yeah I didn't notice the ties' similarities until I saw the picture.  Just glad that I don't have to wear one of those very often.

That's pretty sweet man! Must have been nerve racking to see him play it. The worse thing ever for me when it comes to the "call giving" part of call making, is when the recipient blows it backward/holds it wrong/or makes it squeal or something silly like that. :stickman1: Not good for a mans blood pressure.   

If the land score is anything like the ones I've gotten he'll conveniently not remember he said that tomorrow :hysterical: just kiddin :sweatdrop: But in all honesty, I was told to come anytime on three private places last year that all fell through for unexplained reasons. Guess I'm not good at picking hunting buddies :huh:

COOL is how I can explain what happened. It is a great achievement for a call maker to make calls for the big leagues ~Andre

It has been a few years since I've worn a tie, but for the lst 25 years prior to retirement, it was everyday wear.

 Opened the morning paper, there was a couple of stories about the governors turkey hunt.  Sadly he didn't score a bird, no mention of Aaron's call, but his call was featured in one of the photos!
 

Note: the same pic can be seen at Kansas.com in sports section.  Its not a crappy cell phone picture either.
