My daughter Tia wants to hunt Africa and has entered the Prois women's hunting wear contest and the winner gets a free trip to Namibia. She has made the top 12 and the contest now depends on popularity votes. You can look at the site proishunting.com/proisaward/ To read about the contestants. Naturally Tia would prefer you vote for her but there are plenty of other good contestants so take a look and vote to send some lucky woman to Africa.

Hi Phil, registered my vote for Tia. Many neat stories of these hunters.
I checked out the websites of Grizzlyskins after reading her write-up. Looks like an awesome place to hunt and live.
I don't suppose King Salmon, AK needs a pharmacist/Baptist preacher to re-locate there?
good luck on the contest. blessings, Jerry

A little diesturbed that women like Joella Bates and Brenda Valentine, more or less profeesional on camera hunters are up for this trip. It should be for people who haven't been to Africa IMO.
I voted for Tia.

I voted for Tia. She has a great writeup and I liked her comment about nothing beating the enthusiasm of new hunters. I hope she lands a trip to Africa! Eric

Phil, My vote for Tia is in. --- Mel
The only thing I'm an expert at is my own opinion, and I have plenty of those!

Hi Phil,
Didn't see this earlier as we spent the day cutting up an elk, something you helped a lot with here a few years ago!
I just voted for Tia. She is obviously the bes.t candidate! Give her my best--and best to all the Hairy Shoes...

Phil, I want to vote for Tia, but since I'm severely internet challenged, I have not figured out how to vote for her.
If you could please pass on the web site for voting, I'll be like a Chicago Democrat and vote for her and vote often.
Steve
