i think last year they was some migrators headed up that way,,but not for sure.

[Drake Whistle]

yeah i hope they come - didn't see any last year....sure are alot of fishing stuff though

[The Duck Squad]

heres an idea...since i believe MN holds the most waterfowlers than any other state, why dont we put on a waterfowler show?? i know we have the game fair which is sweet but i need somethin to do in the winter!

[Drake Whistle]

great idea - we really should

[takem]

we do have a watrfowl show in rochester, i cant remember when it is, i believe it is in the middle of summer, everybody is there,

[Drake Whistle]

yeah i went there last year in June - all of the major call makers were there, even more makers than game fair

[The Duck Squad]

but its winter right now! and im bored!!! lol

[Drake Whistle]

yeah - we should make a " After Hunting Season Show"

[mnbenelli]

I'm in. You tell me when and where and I'll help as much as possible.

[Drake Whistle]

alright sounds good

[The Duck Squad]

well i went yesterday, and once again another dissapointing show :( . maybe someone can explain why there is no waterfowl exibits! no decoys, no call makers, no lodges, no outfitters, and only one major conservation group?? ducks unlimited was there, but there was a 75 yr old couple running the booth? i mean im sure they are nice wonderful people but i just wanted to talk about waterfowling and they just wanted me to renew my membership? you'd think there would be more people wanting to push waterfowl orginizations and companies. i know as soon as i become on a few prostaff teams (i dont care if it takes me my whole life im gonna earn my way on one!! :wink: lol) id volunteer for free to go to these shows to push products and talk to people and kids because i love this sport!! and because i cant stop talking about hunting. and this concludes my major bitc* fest, thanks for listening.

p.s did i mention i only saw one duck boat out of well alot there and it was like 16ft and had a new mec only $8999 pretty good deal!! lol

[mnbenelli]

Yeah, I was there Friday for 32 minutes. Saw the DU booth, and the Triton duck boat. I will never go to the Sportsmans show again. The only show I will attend is the Game Fair in Anoka.

yeah the sportsman show is good if you to look into fishing stuff, but other than that it sucks
