Locked Antlers Display, Trail Cam Photo Contest Added to 2008 Target Communications Deer & Turkey Expos
A display of several sets of locked antlers and a trail camera photo contest are two new highlights of the 2008 Deer & Turkey Expo public hunting and shooting sport shows produced by Target Communications. Locked whitetail deer antlers from the home state of each of the five expos will be the core of those exhibits, but hunters from everywhere who have locked antlers of any species are invited to bring them to whichever expo they wish for display.
