Most of us here already know about Danny B's project. A lot of you have already promised items to be contributed. I have nothing that is worthy of displaying in a museum, so I sent him a check to help with the cost of materials. I also made a post over at PM to let them know what he's doing. I hope everyone lends a hand to help him build us a first class museum.

What I'm wondering about? Quite a few years ago, Danny donated several items of his personal memorabilia to a fella we had met at the Shade Tree BBQ. Name was Walt, but his last name escapes me. Jay would know him, but I wonder if Danny got his stuff returned? Anybody know?
Good hunting. LB
Posted by bucksnort (Member # 202) on November 07, 2004, 11:35 AM:
Leonard, I just checked the guest book for the Shade Tree BBQ, and there is only one Walt. His name is Walt Holt from Tempe, Arizona.
Take care.
Bruce
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 07, 2004, 01:41 PM:
Yeah, thanks Bruce. That's the one. The reason I mentioned Jay is because Walt was a fellow call collector.
Danny donated his Club Jacket and patches, as well as some other things I can't remember, but they would fit in a museum nicely.
For that matter, I am in possession of two filing cabinets full of documents that some historian, a hundred years from now might appreciate? Old ledger type, large format check book, receipts, minutes from State meetings, stuff like that.
Too bad we didn't bring it up at the camp out. Could have made the transfer, easily. Oh well.
Good hunting. LB

Leonard, you are right about donations. I told Danny I will bring him a Canadian Coyote Pelt, the big Budweiser Banner signed by all who attended the Shade Tree BBQ, some patches, and my original very first electronic caller.
Ya know what would be nice, is for all of these guys who have produced Videos on Coyote Calling to donate a video to the museum, so Danny could play them in the Museum.
Take care.

Dang! Now Danny's gonna' need a 72" bigscreen TV with a built-in VHS and DVD player so he can show those videos to the crowds of varmint hunters he's going to have. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Posted by bucksnort (Member # 202) on November 07, 2004, 03:05 PM:
Nasa, don't send a check, but a big screen TV and DVD player would be nice.
Take care.
Bruce
PS: Are you going to his hunt in January?????

Bruce, you need to adjust that e:mail filter of yours. I answered your email the day you sent it. In fact, I answered twice. You never got it, right?
Posted by bucksnort (Member # 202) on November 07, 2004, 03:56 PM:
NASA, would you believe I get 900 + e-mails a day? Man, I had to do something. But you are now on the "Friends" list, so try one more time
No wonder I get about 2 e-mails a day with that filter in play.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on November 07, 2004, 03:57 PM:
same here

Leonard, Walt Holt did return my old club jacket, but some of the other stuff is lost I guess. Jay sent me some old calls and an old JS 45 player and a bunch of other things for the museum. Vic gave me a few things at the campout. I have a long way to go with this muesum, thanks to you guys that have helped already and God bless. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Danny,
Gerry Blair just wrote me a letter this week, and asked for your mailing/shipping address. He has some stuf to send you too.
Drop me an email at tbehle@theriver.com
Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on November 07, 2004, 07:27 PM:
Thanks Tim, a guy like Gerry can really help this museum out. I'll put my addy in public just in case anyone else wants to donate anything, thanks again Tim. Danny Batastini P.O. Box 721 Carrizozo NM, 88301
Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on November 23, 2004, 08:37 PM:
I ain't got nothing yet...hello out there!!!!Come on, some of you guys must have some old pictures, patches, calls, anything I could add. Your name well be on a plaque as a donater.
Posted by NASA (Member # 177) on December 11, 2004, 09:31 AM:
How's the project coming? Onecoyote you need to get one of those 6-quart mayonaise jars from the restaurant and set it out for donations. I'd also take it to the club meetings and pass it around. Seed it with a little change so no one can use the excuse "well I only have a 20".
Posted by Byron South (Member # 213) on December 12, 2004, 04:22 PM:
Danny,
When I talk with Murry this week I'll ask if he has something to pitch in. He has a pretty good asortment of memorabilia stored in his upstairs just gathering dust. I'm sure he would donate something. He like most of us though hang on to momentoes for the memories that are refreshed when we pick them up.

Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on December 12, 2004, 06:20 PM:
Danny, would you tell us all about the museum. Where is it located? How are the artifacts and memorabilia housed, protected and displayed? What is on exhibit at this time?
Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on December 12, 2004, 08:11 PM:
Thanks Byron, that would be awesome buddy. Rich, You're asking to much of little old me at this time lol. It's in our office area on three walls is where it's at. I have lots of things Jay donated, along with some things donated by Vic, NASA, Tim, Gerry B, and a few others you probably don't know. I have 30 years worth of things from the old CVCA. This is going to take time to get it all together, it's something I want to do for the sport I love so much. If anyone want's to donate, e-mail me or bring it to Carrizozo New Mexico, everybody knows where I'm at lol.

I have one of the original Vernon Dorn "Whistles." Would it be something worth displaying? If so, I'll track it down and send it your way.
Posted by Bryan J (Member # 106) on February 15, 2005, 09:08 AM:
I had to go back a ways to find this one but here is a pic. of Danny in a corner of his museum. He has a bunch of cool stuff and from what I understand his display has grown some from my visit back in mid January.
Posted by NASA (Member # 177) on February 16, 2005, 10:37 AM:
WMC, that original whistle is something I'd like to see. Danny's museum is about predator hunting, predator hunters, and predator calling. I think your donation would fit very nicely. If you have the chance, I recommend you deliver it in person. You won't be sorry, and you'll have one heck of a visit.
Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on February 16, 2005, 10:56 AM:
WhiteMtCur, that would be a great addition to the little old museum, I'd put it right next to the 1949 cow horn Pied Piper call I got from Steve Barbour from Texas.
Bryan, we really enjoyed your stay, thanks for the plug. Can't wait for your video to come out and yes the museum has got a little bigger since Jan.
NASA, thanks for the kind words. I've been getting info on where to find snake dens, seem two of our members know alot about that, you know one of them. Be seeing you in May.
Any donations to the predator hunting museum are more them welcome and needed, the picture Bryan posted is just one wall, I have a few things on two other walls. Address is Danny Batastini, PO Box 721, Carrizozo NM, 88301.....Thanks you guys.

I didn’t think that I had anything that Danny would be interested in, or worthy of display. I sent him some things that I don’t use anymore and was surprised that all were on display when I got there. He has items with club logos on them on display from the past and present. If you are in a club and have a patch, window sticker or something with the logo on it he will display it. He has a shelf with a few cartridges of different calibers used by predator hunters. If you shoot a wildcat I would dare say he could use one and display it. Old pictures like I saw posted over on PM in the now non existent chronicles section once I’m sure he would love just copies of. A personal delivery would be worth the trip as well.
Danny we enjoyed the time we spent there as well and I’m looking forward to bringing Heather down I hope sometime soon. Thank you again for your hospitality. Am I to assume from your post that you have added another predator to your list of target species?? LOL

Bryan, I think I've convinced Onecoyote to register for the annual Alamagordo Rattlesnake Roundup this spring! I will definitely be a participant, and I think I've talked Danny into holding the sack for me while I drop them in. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Nasa, Vern is no longer with us, but if you want a copy of the "whistle" a friend of mine makes them for O'Gormans. You can get one from him, or order one from O'Gormans. I use one all the time. One of my "secret" weapons.
Posted by NASA (Member # 177) on February 17, 2005, 11:37 AM:
Thanks Cal. You have mail.

Gotcha' covered Todd!
Posted by Cal Taylor (Member # 199) on February 18, 2005, 05:50 AM:
Guys,
Tim Fish makes those calls, he is my supervisor when I work for the county denning down there. The easiest way to get one is to call O'Gormans. 406-436-2234.
There is always someone there during business hours to take your order. Tim makes them and ***** them to O'Gorman, so your getting the same product. Tim is hard to catch in the house, especially this time of year, but if you try him in the evening he might answer.
Posted by Cal Taylor (Member # 199) on February 18, 2005, 05:52 AM:
I tried to type ***** and it bleeped it? ***** , ***** , s*e*l*l*s ?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on February 18, 2005, 07:54 AM:
Yeah Cal, strange, huh? Must be a glitch in the program? LB
Posted by NASA (Member # 177) on March 10, 2005, 08:15 PM:
Todd, I put your call in the mail today.
Posted by Alaskan Yoter (Member # 169) on March 12, 2005, 09:18 PM:
