Went to the Deer&turkey show and meet Salmon Smoker. If anybody else goes, go all the way to the back get your Michigan-sportsman.com name tag then work back threw the show.This was my first outing after knee surgery and by the time I found there booth I was ready to go home.So didn't get to meet any other members.

how is it? I was planning on going but repairs to the hunting truck may have injured my finances too much.

The show was pretty good some great mounts there. But I'm not a bow hunter and its pretty much geared for bow hunters. With your name sounds like this would be your kind of show. I've got a question why due bow hunters wear there camos to these shows, gun hunters don't wear there ornage.

bow hunter where there camo to those shows to hide from the gun hunters :) I don't know!!! Maybe they just like camo

The show was a great time. It was great seeing all of you in person and attaching a face with a name. We had quite a few people stop by the booth. Special thanks to Mr and Mrs Gandy and Mr and Mrs Brandle for helping in the booth today.

Good show! I got there late and it was over at 7pm. I thought it was supposed to be open till 9. I did get to meet Steve, Salmonsmoker and his wife Hunt'nuff (sp?). I also got to meet John Maus of Lone Wolf Custom Bows and check out his craft. Beautiful work. I'm hoping to get one for next fall.

Oh, I almost forgot. I wore my camo jacket. I almost sneaked in unnoticed. :D

"the finding and killing of the game is after all but part of the whole. The free,self-reliant,adventurous life,with its rugged and stalwart democracy;the wild surroundings,the grand beauty of the scenery,the chance to study the ways and habits of the woodland creatures-all these unite to give to...the hunter...peculiar charm.The chase is among the best of all national pastimes;it culivates that vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation,as in an individual,the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone."...Theodore Roosevelt

I went early Saturday with my Dad, and got to meet Steve and SalmonSmoker. Sure wish I could have met more of you.
I was a little disappointed I couldn't run into StrutnSpur because my Dad has noticed a lot of SNS's posts and was really impressed with the information.
He and I are hunting turkey together for the first time this year and we have lots of questions (so I guess we will be on the Turkey board alot). My Dad picked up a new turkey call, and we both got some discount camo suits. There was lots to see there. We had a good time and are going next year. I think my Dad is finally going to join the Michigan-Sportsman forums. He has been browsing off-and-on for months, but on the drive home Saturday I think I convinced him to actually join.

I had a great weekend at the show. It was nice to meet Salmon Smoker and Live4Huntin. It was easy to tell that Live4Huntin has the hunting heritage deep in her veins. It's always nice to meet people like that. Wish I could of met more.

I saw StrutnSpurs pictures. They were excellent!! If I was a judge, he would have gone home with an award!

(I would of dropped the bow off but my wife and I never went back to the hotel till the end of the day!)

When Redtoads and I made out second pass through we saw that some more members of the site had signed in. We looked for name tags after that but didn`t see any either. Maybe next time.
