Good news - we will be bringing you updates all weekend from the Iowa Deer Classic in this thread.

Bad news - this is the first year in more 10 years that Iowawhitetail has not had a booth at the Iowa Deer Classic.

Stay tuned here for updates throughout the weekend!

*** I do have one press pass for a weekend entry into the classic for an individual that wants to help us cover the Classic with updates and photos.
 
Why is there no booth?

This would be a guess!! I'm guessing the guy's that started this dream.... are starting to realise what a nightmare it is!!!! It started out all whoop-de-doo! Ya can buy shirts , hats, decals, iron sculptures, ETC>!! Then the stuff(I can't use swear words!) settled in!!!!! Then life settled in on them a little!!!! Then they realised somebody besides their pals were gonna use this site!! And they wanted stuff!!!!... And dang!! It's gonna interrupt my life!!!!!!!!!!!! It is what it is!! :way: Be gone in 6 months!! (My guess!)
 
Thanks!

Looking forward to some updates! Haven't been to it in years, thanks for all you do and all you have done Chris, website looks great!
 
Friday night at the Classic 2012!! I hung out with my youngest son and we had a great time. The crowds are fairly light on Friday nights so it is much easier to navigate. The only downfall is that many of the big bucks and big sheds haven't yet arrived for the contests.

Our first view from the sky walk had Hayden pretty excited!

We got in the line for Lee and Tiffany while it was still fairly short. It still took us about 35 minutes to get his photo taken.

The next celebrity that we say was IW's own, Bonker, in his trademark"Bonkerflage".

We then visited the Double Lung Productions booth to see NCHILLBILLY. Hayden held the monster sheds that were seen first here on IW.

We chatted with the boys from D&D Flesheaters.

Bill Winke posed with Hayden and the mounted sheds from the G4 buck. The cape is off my daughter, Allison's 2011 buck. She is pretty excited about it.

The National Wild Turkey Federation had a BB gun shoot that was free! Hayden hit the turkey target in the head 2 times and got a turkey feather for his efforts.

Thanks for the pics, I also heard a rumor that a 204" buck either got dropped while being hung on the wall or fell off the display wall and the rack shattered. Any truth to that from any of you folks down there? Living through your pictures and hoping to make it down sunday.
 
I am leaving here at 9:00 am with a couple guys tomorrow morning. I can hardly contain my excitement with all these pics. Glad to see Andy Ross is there. I'm still shooting an original Cardiac from 2008 & love the bow. I met him once in Laporte City (Double Lung Archery).
 
Awesome! Hey whats the story on the poachers caught in Union County that where sniping deer with a night vision rifle? my buddy was there last night but he forgot most of the details
 
Colton and I are heading down tomorrow morning too. Bigbuckhunter88-What a coincidence, I was just thinking as looking at Martys NT sheds on the end of the table, how easy it would be to bump the table and crash the right side to the ground, tips down. I am probably too paranoid but I dont think I could ever leave anything there all weekend. Thanks for the update.
 
When I take my sheds to get scored. I just stood there until they were scored. To scared for them to get broken or chipped and stolen.
 
Yup ill be down again tmr morning, gunna check out some seminars. Ill be in a camo new holland agriculture hat.

The board said it was a couple of nonresidents who bought the land, and started shooting deer without buying tags. They had a bunch of bait piles and mineral licks on their land too. Used a couple .308 with night vision scopes and suppressors. It said the total value of everything confiscated was around $44,000

IW has been here for more than a decade. While we have had users that like to ruffle the feathers that have come and gone over the years, IW isn't going anywhere! :way:

It was nice to get out there again. It was two years since I been to it. I think I could wait another two years again tho.

I think it has been that long for me to.

Not to down talk it but it has been the same ole same ole after going every year for quite awhile.

Sure do miss seeing some of the guys though.
 
Sorry I missed you Wayne.. I stopped in for a few in between rounds at the state AAU Wrestling and ran into a couple of the great all time members...Dbltree, Gnrner and Moosehunter (Glad I did not run into some of the idiots that post negative stuff here.....Crockett).
