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.
We caught up with Dbltree and the Lick Creek owner.
Hayden got a free IBA temporary tatoo!
Todd with WKP and Wicked Tree Gear posed for a photo......
......and showed us the new saw carrier which carries the saw folded, or open........
...........even up-side-down!
Stand Potts gave Hayden a fee Hunting Kids DVD!:way:
I got to chat with Gladitor and the other guys with Outreach Outdoors.
Andy Ross is great with kids and is always a favorite for my kids to see. Hayden got a signed hat.
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.
I got to meet bcuarcher (left) at his booth for his chiropractic practice .
And finally, I got to see the monster sheds posted by 6x6. Unbelievable!!!
We had agreat time and got to see some fellow IW members but I'm sure we missed just as many. I won't be able to attend the next two days so I'll look forward to more updates!
