Default 8+ foot gar in Illinois?

Yes, it's true!

Look for it at the Illinois Bowfishers booth at the Deer and Turkey Classic Feb 23-25th at the Interstate Center in Bloomington, IL.

Keith R. of Aim Low productions is going to loan us his alligator gar mount. It's a bowfishing record that weighed 244.5lbs and is over8 feetlong.

Thanks Keith!

That's gonna be cool!

There were so many people by the booth last year that they clogged up the isle. This will not only bring that many people over, but now they'll never leave. I guess that means we'll finally get to talk about bowfishing stuff as much as we want.

Good grief. Did he loan us the saddle too?

Maybe you could put my 4-footer in it's mouth...like a minnow.
