| February 23, 2008 IHSA Girls Class A Basketball State Finals - The top 8 girls high school basketball teams from across the state will compete on February 22-23, 2008, at Illinois State University's Redbird Arena for the 2008 State Title. For more info, visit www.ihsa.org. Illinois Deer & Turkey Classic - NEW in 2008! * Locked Antlers Display -- Illinois Bucks Locked antlers are tragic reminders of the harshness of Mother Nature and her operating rules, because the usual result is the death of two magnificent animals. Antlers must be large to lock together when two bucks collide, and that almost always takes some of the best bucks from the breeding base. If you have a set of locked antlers from Illinois or surrounding states, or know of locked sets from Illinois or surrounding states, call us (1-800-324-3337) or e-mail (mac@deerinfo.com) to arrange to display them. We will give you all details when you contact us. * Trail Camera Photo Contest Trail cameras see some strange things ... and some big antlers ... when no humans are around. See the Contest Page for details. * Food Plot & Habitat Improvement Super-Seminars Continuation and expansion of the program/seminars begun in 2007. Gordon Whittington (food plots - basic and advanced) and Tony LaPratt (deer habitat creation and improvement) return, each with longer seminars. Check the seminar schedule to see seminar topic, seminar description and times. * Food Plot Demonstration Area At the introductory demo areas in 2007, you told us you would like to see what the individual forage crop and other nutrition source plants look like. So that's what you will see in 2008 -- nursery flats of various grain crops, grasses and other deer (and turkey and non-game species) feed sources, one species per flat. * Forage Crop Pocket Guide This 52-page, info-packet guide book will again be for sale at the Food Plot Demo Area. There's more good info per page in this little booklet than you'll find in any other book. If you want a copy immediately for use this year, go to the Books page of this web-site. | ||||||
