Here are just a few pics from the show. We got there pretty early on Sat morning and there weren't many mounts up on display yet. I was kinda disappointed.

Here are some of my favorties from when we got to the show.




Alot of junk around the bases


A nice clean looking typical


Good mass and tines


Great typical with a couple stickers


Talk about a nice "basket rack"


Nice mass and spread

A collection of some nice non-typicals








My favorite of the day

Some awesome bucks there.

Some nice bucks but I want to see specifics. We all know that your states biggest Xbow buck was the Jerman buck. However, I'm curious to know what your best ARCHERY Typical and Non-typical was as well as the best Firearm bucks? Lets see some numbers brother..... don't hold back on us. All the talk of Ohio this year I want to see the states best for '04. Thanks for any and all info you can provide us antler addicts.

They were poorly tagged and were in no praticular order. It was a little disappointed like I said earlier. The buckeye big buck club banquet had 4X's the mounts than the expo did.

Like I said there was maybe 75-100 mounts tops when I took the pics. I will try to dig some info though.

I am supposed to go tomorrow (Sunday) so I will also take some pics and write down some of the scores. I say supposed to go because I am sick right now and not feeling real well, may have to stay home. I have went to the Deer and Turkey Expo with my Dad for the last 14 or 15 years, would be a bummer to have to miss it but if I don't feel better I probably will.

Hope you are feeling better Blodog. I'm really curious to see some numbers. I know both the IL and IA Shows have both been pretty impressive as far as top end bucks from the '04 season.

Hope you feel better as well Blodg

This one scored 231, I remember that for sure. I think counted 7 bucks over 200 out of the ones that were up this morning.

Yes sir, he certainly has a good score! Archery buck or did it say? I also LOVE that droptine buck..... man it's looks like a entire 4x side.... for a drop!!! That is the type of buck I dream of tagging someday! AWESOME character!

Thanks for the pics. Fat boys
