KirkV Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ok so I tried to take some shots of some of the best deer there for you guy's that could not make it to the show.If the Mods will leave it here in the lounge a lot more people will probably see all of my work. I go back tommoroow and see how my 155" muzzleloader buck faired in the competition. ENJOY!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Those are some great pics Kirk. I wish I wouldn't have forgotten my camera or I would add to your spread. It was a great classic for sure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Kirk, I forgot to ask you, did you see the mount, straight down from the beer wagon where the ears came straight up and started at about the jaw line? It was a terrible looking mount. The durn thing looked like a jackrabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I will be back in the afternoon and look for the jack rabbit deer LOL:D After you walk past the happy feet guy at the very front when you walk into that room, go to the beer wagon, then turn left, he's at the very end on the wall that runs parallel to the beer wagon. He's the 2nd or 3rd one from the far end. You can't miss him. It's a HORRIBLE taxi job. See if you can get a pic Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Primetime/IL Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I was at the show on friday hoping to steer clear of the crowd and it was a good time. Kirk..did you happen to attend any seminars? Me and the friend of mine that road up with me attended the Mastering Small-tract Megabucks by Rod White which was very good. Also, how was the crowd today? I had gone on saturdays in the past and it has been unbelieveably packed:eek: Heres a few others that I took with my cell phone. I forgot the camera so the phone had to do:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungry hunter Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 thanks kirk, one question:cool: how does one stay focused when something with a tree attached to it's head walk by:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkV Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah Hungry sometimes your not sure what is the deer and what are the trees!!!!!!! Honestly too many shows make it look soooo easy to just walk in the woods in Illinois and kill a whopper. It's not that easy to find the smart old boys!

Even more difficult is gaining access to land where they live. Good luck today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 All realy nice looking bucks, I think my favorite is the double mount with the deer tracks on the plack.The bucks are ok but the setup for them and that plack is sweet,looks like you guys had a good time.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It was definitely very packed from about 11-3, then it started thinning out a little. I only went to the Byron Ferguson exhibition, which was AWESOME. He put on a great show, and in the middle of it, honored all of the veterans in the room. They got a loud ovation that lasted at least 2 minutes. It was very touching and very cool. You just don't hear many of people honoring our veterans, and to take time out of his show to do that, I thought was very cool:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 those are nice deer! I can't wait till Ohio has their show. I never been there so I would like to go 2 days so I can catch some seminars and still see everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
