Iowa Deer Classic

My wife and I went to the classic last night and got to meet and talk with Fred and Michelle Eichler, and also our own SteveO!

Unfortunately there weren't many if any traditional booths there, maybe with enough peer pressure we can talk some of our fine sponsors into getting a booth for next year!!! *Brian Wessel and Jason Kendall get my vote (being from Iowa)

Mule Creek Outfitting (sponsor) is there with traditional hog hunts in Texas. See pics of this years hunters with game and visit with Jacob and John.

I'm with you Iowabowhunter, for such a big event it needs some trad booths or even a special spot on the  big buck contest wall. Meeting Fred was worth the price of the ticket. Hey Iowabowhunter were you the guy I talked to about the Tall Tines shirt I was wearing? It was nice to run into a fellow trad shooter in a sea of compounds!

Yessir that was me! Fred signed my book I bought from him, going to read it on my flight this afternoon!!!

I went to the IA Deer Classic this morning.  I too met Fred and had him sign his book.  I was able to talk to him for about 10 minutes about traditional archery, how he sets up his bow/arrow, and why he feels the recurve is a superior hunting weapon to the compound.  Great guy!

Fed has a book?

G'day Shaun, how are my two Yankee mates John & Jacob doing with Mule Creek? I sent them both an email but I figured they'd be busy this time of year... Either that or snowed in!

Iowa... Miss my time there.

Cheers,

ak.

It's titled 'bow hunting western big game'.  I haven't started reading it yet, but if its written by Fred....it's gotta be good!

One of the reasons I don't go, not my kind of people.
