For the second year in a row I had the pleasure of stopping out at the Iowa Deer Classic! What a great way to break up the lull between deer hunting and turkey season! Not to mention catching up with old friends, meeting some new friends and seeing all the sights brought right to central Iowa by one of the largest outdoors shows in the region.
So if you didn’t make it, what did ya miss? Not much- only thousands of fellow hunters, hundreds of vendors and several outdoors celebrities offering great seminars and loads of gear for the outdoor lifestyle. I spent several hours staring in awe at all the antlers and newfangled gadgets our hunting industry produces. From brand new camera mounts for videoing your own hunts, to the latest in archery equipment, it could be found at the Classic! Innovative outdoorsmen and women offered neat new contraptions like unique shed traps, roomy box blinds and even all-terrain electric wheelchairs for our friends with disabilities. I felt like a kid in a candy store, but my wallet weathered incredibly well losing only $15 to my new friends with Campfire Stories TV for some great hunting dvds http://www.campfirestoriestv.com/
My only complaint this year was the seminars were separated from the main floor of vendors. Oh yeah, and there was so much to see, I flat ran out of time! So make it a point to jot down the Classic on the calendar for next year. It’s kind of a long forecast, but I’ll give it a 90% that I’ll be going back ;-)
