I know most events are seeing less folks these days, with the economic uncertainty.
Seemed like less vendors as well, maybe for the same reason. Some goods one though, had a few interesting talks with folks.
I didn't see or hear near the advertising this year, and that could have been part of it as well: maybe a lot of folks just plain didn't know about it.
I sure hope it worked out for the guys. We NEED an event like this in MD, and really appreciate it being held here in Southern MD

Thanks to all that came out to the Expo this weekend. It was a great time. I did hear a lot of people say that they didn't see much advertising this year, but we actually advertised a lot more, possibly double? O'well it was still one hell of a great weekend........and now we all have this hunting season to look forward to.
Thanks

I had a good time at the expo as well. The drive sorta overshadowed everything else for me though. Fought terrible traffic to get down there. Took me and the wife 3 hours when it should have taken 1.5. I wish it was more centrally located (nothing against the southern MD guys).

Hey Guys thanks to everyone who came to support the show. We has a great turn out but less attendees than last year. We also had a bigger line up last year with the Crutchfield buck, the Duck Commander, Tim Bradley and a LIVE grizzly bear. Hard to top that. However our Sunday was way more crowded and busy compared to Saturday. Could that have been because of the Martin Girl??  I saw a lot of familiar faces and met quite a few new ones. Sideways, Reed, Shedslave, Bionicrooster, Big Fox, Bartman, Brettgerhart, and many more from this site. We had way less outdoor vendors, 3 car dealerships went into bancruptcy protection, 1 atv place is about to close down, 1 R.V. dealer went out of business and a hunt shop closed down as well. But we actually had more overall vendors. From 97 last year to 117. We are already planning for next year and looking forward to keeping this event here in our backyard. Lets hope the economy bounces back and the hunters here support the show. Now its time to do what we all love so much, HUNT! |

Trust me Hardcore, with the pics on my trail cam of that one big boy might beat out my 157 4/16 deer that if I would have brought to the show last year would have been Cecil Co number one Im ready to hunt. We meet a few years back at Easton when Buckwild just got started. My wife calls dibs on him , but she better beat me to him LOL Wish I could make the trip down again, but its such a drive for me. Bring dock dogs and it might be more worth it to me. Raven is jumping 23 1/2 feet now. heading to Dover de this weekend for a jump or 8 lol
