A display of several sets of locked antlers,
a trail camera photo contest and a deer hair identification
contest are three new highlights of the 2008 Deer
& Turkey Expo public hunting and shooting
sport shows produced by Target Communications.
Locked whitetail deer antlers from the home state
of each of the five expos will be the core of
those exhibits, but hunters from everywhere who
have locked antlers of any species are invited
to bring them to whichever expo they wish for
display. (Call 1-800-324-3337 or e-mail mac@deerinfo.com
if you have or know of locked antlers.) The new
photo contest is open to everyone at every expo;
photos must be brought to the expos, not mailed
in.
The five expos are in Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota,
Ohio and Wisconsin. They include more than 40
percent of the U.S. deer and turkey hunting market |
