Deer Classic This Weekend

[DonBo]

Who's going? I'll be there all day Friday and Saturday working for our very own HSO. Stop and say hi!

[brittman]

Never been, what are the attractions to this event ?

Deer with big antlers? Aren't many of the deer on display simply deer with artificially cast/molded antlers of record book deer ?

What? No. It is an event to show off the fact that big deer really are taken in Minnesota. You can bring in antlers, or mounts and have them officially scored, then show them off.

There are a ton of vendors selling all things hunting related.

I've never been before. Are there deals to be had? I'm in the market for a new bow.

Have fun at the Classic everyone!

I will be missing it this year due to being out of town.

[Archerysniper]

I will also be working the Hso booth on Sat so swing on past and chat for a while. I think I'm going to bring my antelope down and get it scored while I'm there.

I used to like going when it was at the fairgrounds. Last year in Blaine it was a mess--not enough space for the exhibitors. Does anyone know if they've fixed that for this year?

[slimngrizzly]

Im hoping to be there Saturday afternoon as well. Would be fun to meet some of the regulars!

x2. I don't know why they had to change a good thing.

The show was sold. From what I heard they have the bigger buildings reserved this year. Last year it was scheduled late and didn't get the bigger buidling in time. Hope they made a bunch of improvements should help the show.

[nonteepical]

This year will be the same as last year. Back and forth between the 2 buildings.

[MNHunter65]

Very crowded just like last year and in the same buildings. I thought I would give it another shot, being it was only the second year at the new venue. Pretty disappointed again. One good thing is that there were definitely more mounts this year.

[Hoyt4]

yeah this was not the best. I found out out they will not let them get the bigger building for the one weekend. The rink making too much money for them to give it up for 3 days.Need to find a bigger building to hold all in one. Was very small show half the vendors were at the bird ,buck or what ever you called that show.

[pumper317]

I went Saturday with my family. My boys could have stayed at the HSO booth all day with those puppies there. I met Donbo and Archerysniper. Nice to meet you guy. The show was a little crowded, but then again, it was crowded at the old place too. Just a lot of people getting together to support what we love to do.

[DonBo]

Most of those said they'd never go again. A huge flop.

[Hoyt4]

Yeah my old man said he would not work it again. People were coming form the classic complaining and people going to the classic complaining about the new show. Just need to have one show bigger buidling. Get all the vendors and outfitters in one place.Walked around and spent most my time at the A-1 booth.

[leech~~]

Missed it, went sledding. What happened? It seemed to fit at the State Fair building about perfect for the show size? I will not be back if it's that much of a Zoo. The up coming Sportsman show is about enough banging elbows I can handle this time of year!

[MJ1657]

They need to have more vendors selling stuff. I'll go again because its close and something to do on a sunday afternoon. I wouldn't go if I had much further to drive.

[Meat-Run]

I was there on Saturday and was disappointed too. For $10 there was nothing really "cool" or eye popping to say the least and walked the floor in about 10 minutes. Glad I was there to do other business otherwise I will not attend for another 10 years.

What, you drove all the way down from Brainerd and missed sledding for that?

[minky]

They really need it get the problems fixed or people will quit going.
