You gonna be there all three days Dan? I'll stop and say hi if you're there on Friday.

[Wanderer]

Wish I could make it but we're heading north for probably the last of the laker ice season for us.

Have fun for those who are going. Could someone record it for me???

[River Dan]

I'll be there Don look forward to seeing you

[schmoe147]

Be there saturday, the wife and myself are heading down. Maybe I can get her interested in the sport of hunting

[nonteepical]

i'll be there for the weekend measuring. bringing this guy with me shot back in '72 190" N.T. This year was a good year for big bucks hopefully people will bring them in for everyone to see.

[sticknstring]

What's the story on the bottom one - sheds? Dandy. That's a neat mounting plaque as well. 2010 was certainly a good year for big bucks being taken. Outdoor News is just loaded with Best Buck entries - the most I've ever seen. The Widness buck will be at the classic - 190" typical. Can't decide if I'm going to head down tonight or Sat mornig. $2 discount tonight!

[Hoyt4]

If you get the pioneer press last Sunday had $2 coupon in the sports section.

[sticknstring]

I'm a Strib guy... bummer.

How's parking at the fairgrounds? We've always done the ParkNRide thing for the fair...

[nonteepical]

The small one is his first buck. he shot the big one the next year and his grandpa made him the plaque. he shot the big one 5 times, after the 4th shot, it dropped and he got up to it, and all 4 legs were shot off, and killed it with the 5th! Thats how he tells the story.

[sticknstring]

That's what happens when stories are told for 40 years!

I've been hearing about "Walter" the big walleye that escaped from my grandpa for decades. Every time I hear it there seems to be another broken rod or hole in the net added in.

[DonBo]

Anyone that's there today, look me up. I'll be one of the security folks in the orange vests. I'll probably be on the outside ring guarding one of the doors. I'll be wearing my camo HSO hat.

[Rippinlip]

We were there and we looked for you Don, even asked some of the guys in orange and you must have been rotating around too fast.

Dan, sorry we missed out on seeing you and your booth.

We had a good time there, was able to see the double plaqued antler mount posted above and that was nice.

We talked to Ralph & Vicki for a while, took our picture with them too.

Daughter thought that was way cool!!!

Of course wife found out a booth that had a wine/slush mixture for our camping(fires). I must admit they were good.

Overall we enjoyed ourselves, always good times when you can spend time with family when you all have the same likes.

I ended up working down on the floor hanging all the mounts. I hung nonteepicals big one, but didn't get to meet him. I did have a nice long chat with River Dan, nice to see you there.

[DHost21]

Just got back from it now. Its always fun! Congrats to anyone who had their deer there. They were sure impressive!!

[matchset]

lots of great shoulder mounts....not many archery! and the excelsior buck.....well...

my favorite was was the cute little set a friend of mine picked up.... scored 137+

[mrklean]

is it me or are there fewer and fewer mounts and sheds there every year? I swear the first time i went there were 4 entire rows of deer now it seems like there is 2 if that

I was hanging them up on Friday and there were 4 full rows. Many took their mounts home the same night. Most pick their stuff up Saturday evening or Sunday morning. So if you were there today, most stuff was already gone.
