I never got one! I was not an 'official bucksnort'..just always went for the party and came in through the 'back door' when it was held out on the point. Quite a few of us 'local boys' wandered out of St. Patrick's Creek and ended up at the bucksnort party every year.
Speaking of..every now and again a rumor will pop up that the event will be on again. Anything real attached to that rumor?
Ahhhhh, so in short, you were one of the crowd that always tried to avoid paying the entrance fee. Gotcha.
I only went to a few of the parties, but always had an awesome time. Despite the well-deserved reputation for some of the folks that went there, I never had a single problem there....always was made to feel very welcome and very much a part of the crowd. 'Course, I never tried to fight anyone or get in anyone's face.
I've also heard periodic rumors of Bucksnorts starting up again, or resurrecting another party, but I doubt that it'll happen. It's just too much damn work to organize something like that, and the turnout is too unpredictable, and the outcome for something bad happening is too risky.
