Just looked at the link.

Makes me nervous when they does not show a list of exhibitors, nor seminars & speakers.

 

[BJE80]

This is actually the correct website.

I was thinking about going if I'm not doing anything better. Game time decision.

Yep, that's what I though also.

On the link tooln posted the used Bob Mercier as their posterchild. LOL

Which if you don't know who he is consider yourself lucky.

BJE80 ... thanks!

If you look at many of the shows, the flashy names are less common because the money is drying up and the other presenters like Steve are not traveling as much anymore so that leaves more room for those promoting a gimmick.

 

[shawnv]

I will say this show still has some worthwhile speakers.

I will say this show still has some worthwhile speakers.

Based on what?

I am interested, just don't need someone who harvested a nice buck on their grampy's farm at age 24 to tell me how it is .... share some depth, folks who can provide some real (non-commercialized interest) content ...

 

[shawnv]

I was talking in terms of the general public. I know Jim Reed and he's a pretty straight forward guy to talk to about food plots. He's not out to sell seed btw.

I also think these might be interesting to sit in on:
Venison and more
Grouse and woodcock

 

[dipper]

Garbage, I wouldn't go there if someome paid me

 

[wiscwhip]

Gary Zimmer of the RGS is very knowledgeable and is a great speaker. I have seen him at a few other shows. If you are at all interested in holding grouse on your property, he usually has great information on the type of habitat you need to maintain to keep them there.

I've had 1 day off in the past 37. I'm getting this weekend off and don't want to waste it.

 

[BJE80]

The fishing/outdoors show opens today. Anyone going to that?

 

[wiscwhip]

UMMM the dates say it was last weekend?:confused: Besides, I'm saving "momma time" and money to go to the "big" show in Madison in April.

The deer expo was last weekend. Now it is the fishing weekend/outdoors.

Ah, gotcha! I thought you were referring to the show in the link.:oops:
