+NWMOhunter Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I am a partner in another web site that deals with hunting and fishing. We have a couple of members who do GCing, but not very many. Since most of us are waterfowl hunters, we were going to try to get a couple of travel bugs out into the different flyways and see how far they go and to what flyways (alot like they do with bands on ducks and geese). Would it be taboo to ask others here on the GCing forum to put out tb's for us? We would purchase the dog tags and fix up the tb, all we would do would be to mail the tb to those who want to help and ask them to "release" them into their area. I wanted to check to make sure this wasn't against the rules or unethical before we got to work on it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

+Eartha Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm going to edit that thread title for you. It said "Asking Others To Put Out Caches For You..., Is it taboo?" When you meant "Asking Others To Put Out TB's For You..., Is it taboo?" Which is a different ball of wax. I hope you don't mind. Quote Link to comment
+NWMOhunter Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 You are right Eartha! That title might be misleading. Thanks for changing that! As soon as we get the ball going on this I'll be sure to let some of you guys know and get them out to people! Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment

+Team Neos Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I see that someone from Indiana has already made you an offer, but I live close enough to the Kentucky line that I could slip over there to get one gling for you, if you like. Quote Link to comment
+NWMOhunter Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 I really do appreciate all the offers! I think we are going to order 8 of them and put them together and send them out. As soon as we get them all together, I'll start contacting people from this thread and try to spread them out all over! Thanks again!!! Quote Link to comment
