    Well I was originally going to go but the weather forcast for our place in SE Indiana is showing a high in the 50's on saturday. I can't pass up the chance to go check cameras and do a little shed hunting and get my soil tests completed.

    I hope you all enjoy your time at the expo.

    Let me know if you make it tonight. If it isn't worth the 4 hour drive it would be good to know!

    I haven't been since 2010 when it was in Bloomington. Peoria was just too far of a drive for me, I'm happy its in Springfield again. Thats only a 2hr drive :)

    Maybe I have never been to a good show, but I am having a blast. Took in a property management lesson and a shed dog training session. People say the venders are down, but it is taking me hours to get through. Tons of great mounts/racks as well

    Met Alex Robinson (editor at Outdoor Life) while I was dropping the deer heads off. Have always enjoyed his blogs. Talked to Larry Wise and he wrote down which arrows for me to purchase this year, I would like to catch his seminar Sunday. I ran through stuff pretty quick, but it appeared a little better than last year.

    I think I saw your bucks? One archery and another muzzleloader?

    They were very nice bucks if those were yours!
