The display are for the deer was totally new this year and it was 100% better than any years in the past. Atleast now there is a flow in one direction, as before people were going every which way!!

I go there every year with the Lone Wolf Pro staff. I do the Illinois show, Minnasota, and Wisconsin. Every year for the last four years straight I have gotten very ill at the Illinois show. I spent the whole day Saturday lying on my hotel bed stairing at a spinning ceiling.... sucked, I was really looking forward to the show.

My Husband and myself made it to the show on Sunday... had a great time looking at all the deer ... some very impressive racks to drool over folksWe stopped by and had the pleasure of meeting The Guys and Christine at the Bowfishers and Huntingnet.com Booth.. Christine was keeping busy handing out Huntingnet.com Hats, Shirts and Decals... Thanks for the goodies Christine.......... we stopped by the Bowtech Booth and had a nice time meeting Pat and some teenagers we knew and drooling over that Polished Chrome Riser Constitution... I didn't get to shoot any bows since I had amputated part of my index finger off while working on a bow.... But to give me something to look forward when the Doctor says I can start shooting again, the day after the show my New Bowtech Equilizer 3D Bow in Blue arrived at the shop and she is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET LookingThe Catalog pic's dont do the color justice. you gotta see it in person...she is shooting 298 FPS at 27 inch Draw at 60lbs shooting a 300 Grain Arrow... I CANT WAIT TO SHOOT HER WHEN MY FINGER HEALS. ITS BEEN OVER 2 WEEKS AND IT'S KILLING MENOT TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT MY NEW BOW OR ANY BOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I got to shoot one for a couple of weeks in camo until my color Equilizer arrived and they are fast, quite andaccurate and I love that solid wall at full drawit feels like I can hold it at full draw forever I might just have to get one in camo for hunting season..
Stopped By the BuckHead Booth and picked up a couple of Cases of Marinade and Seasoning... Pricey but more than worth itand ran into lots of friends and folks we knew ... only wished that more Bow Manufacturers had booths at the show like Bowtech did... that was the #1 complaint that I heard from Folks that come to the Bow Shop that I work at... But Bowtech's booth worked well cause we sold a bunch of Bowtechs after the show to fellows whom had shot the Bowtech Bowsat the show.
I am looking forward to next years show and I may even have a Big buck to enter.

Thinking it must have been something you ate there? I had a brat and a cup of the Jambalaya, and my son had a couple corn dogs from the concession. We were fine and have been in all the previous years, too.

Maybe some samples someone was handing out? Lots of meat product was being handed out. Maybe something with the hand-outs?

Or if you happened to shake hands with Dairy King - THAT could have done it!

Uncle Matt,
Now that you say that, I eat them damn brats every year. We are right next to where they sell them.
