Your asking a very good question ? You'd think they would be proud to show off a monster buck like that ! I haven't been to the show for 6 or 7 years. I just got fed up with the same old stuff year after year. Doubtful I'll go this year. I don't think anythings changed with that show since I was a kid, except the wrestling bear must of died. Congratulations Hunter Dog Carrie on a great buck !!

Sam your right on some things, Like the hunting part,Figger with it being a show you might get some deals,But their hunting gear is same price as store so i just wait till i find that good deal,Same on fishing,Same price as other tackle places besides the fishing does have some good deals or new gear. Thats where i first hook up with my 2 10ft fishing poles befor they hit the stores . ...May see you up their lee

I will be up there measuring deer on Saturday. You said that it did not make sense that they sent a letter asking if you were interested in taking your mount up and then said they did not want you to. What they do is send a letter out to most of the deer that have been put in the books the last couple of year. Once everyone who is willing to take their deer up there responds they take the highest scoring deer up to the number that they have room for, that way they always have a full wall.

Wow ! Sorry to hear about your back FatBoy Dan. I've already been there and done that, and it's not fun. Mine is in the lower back, but I'll bet it's twice as bad in the neck. Good luck with the back ! I'll watch for you at the show it I go. I'll wait to see what other people say about it before going. Hey, what ever did happen to that wrestling bear ?

Well I ended up going yesterday and the crowd was a bit much. I remember being able to move around in there much easier last year. Seemed like more people/less vendors this year as compared to last. I did pick up some lures and that was it. The deer/turkey expo part of it was stupid crowded. About 2 minutes in I was ready to turn around but couldn't. Made the lap through and checked out the deer on the wall. Left after that.

That's why I quit going, Lee. Can't stand the crowds.

If I go next year I'm skipping the deer/turkey expo portion and will probably take a day off during the week just so I can stroll through tackle town a little easier...hopefully.

Ya it was smaller this year due to then redoing one of the buildings, Wich a few of us was talking about it on their facebook page,wich we said it was a good show and more, then we did note it was smaller and less vendors and more vendors trying to book a trip mix in with tackle town. They replyedback saying its not smaller they just made it bigger,WTF how west side bait and tackle was not their, kids scuba dive last year this year scuba guy said they had to down size due to more vendor=fishing trip and even camp grounds mix in every where. Just check and they remove the post that some guy left wich over 7 us all said on his post it was smaller.

Word is that if you go on Friday you can basically run down the aisles of the Deer & Turkey Expo.
