Anyone else go to the Indiana boat sport and trade show?

If you haven't gone yet you should probably save the 3 dollar parking and 10 dollar entrance fee. This was probably the worst year I have been to. It was extremely crowded and everyone decided to be decked out in the nicest camo. I'm not 100% sure but I didn't see any trees or bushes in the expo these people could utilize their camo in! On a side not there really weren't a lot of good dealers there.

Thats a shame. My family and the wife's family used to enjoy that show. I was thinking of going this year instead of the Illinois Deer and Turkey classic because its closer. Maybe not now.

The only sweet thing was a wall of deer mounts. Pretty cool albino buck was up there.

The wall of fame was the best, the rest wasnt very good. Too many people there on Sat.

The wall of mounts was all I saw that was worth while. I remember when I was a kid tackletown actually had tackle, now it has a few rods and that is about it. Oh they have some deep-sea fishing stuff which would be great if there was an ocean within a thousand miles.

This is what a typical 3ft by 3ft area looked like, just about like the 1500 Gun Shows ...

Glad I decided to stay home on this one. Probably go to the OH deer and turkey classic in Colombus next month. Indiana needs a good show like the OH and IL shows.

I think I am going to hit the Ohio deer show this year myself. I heard it is a good show.
