Good link. Thanks.

I went to the Tilbury show last year and had a good time. Small show but lots of good stuff to see and the buffalo burgers were excellent. :) Lots of great racks on display and some great vendors booths as well. I met the Beasley boys from Canada in the Rough. They are such nice guys. We chatted for half an hour like we were old friends. :)

I'll be headed there again this year too. Maybe some of us local folks can meet up for a handshake and a coffee. Be nice to meet some of you guys.

Gonna try and hit Huntfest in Orangeville this year too depending on my work schedule.

All kidding aside, lets get in touch a couple days before the show and meet up. If anyone else local wants to meet up pm a couple days before the show and we'll figure it out. :)

We are going to Bass Pro to meet up with the Beasly's and have my Hunting partner's Large Eight Point we dragged out in my canoe from the swamp.
Should score pretty good. Typical Eight almost symetrical exactly. I'm looking at 160" or better.
March 17, 18 I think. Hope to see some of you there.

Hi Big John Looking forward to seeing your deer. I love big eights, to score well they are usually very big. I'll be at the CITR and Frow booth at Basspro both days come and say hi. Your arrows did a great job this season. Thanks

Hi TB:

This Eight point is Freaking Huge! Over three hundred pounds. Palmated main beams, and long points. Very high rack. Took us 7 hrs. to get it out!! I realize I'm disabled somewhat, but we had another helper for a while as well. :!: :!: I will ask for a TB when there. Everyone knows me. I'm the Big guy with the cane.

See everyone there.

Thanks Ken, I hadn't even remembered that picture, the only problem with that picture is that that record rack wasn't mine. :evil: Oh well maybe next year! :D
For others info the guy on the left is Rick Poulin the gentleman that began the Ontario record books and FROW.
