Hello People,

    I just picked up the latest issue of North American Whitetail and
there is a page and a half ad inside the front cover proclaiming the
"Great American Hunters Tour" which is being put on by the NRA. This
tour will feature a large number of notable hunters and sportsperson's
such as Dick Idol and John Wootters to name a couple. The speakers
will vary at each location, however. The one day show will last
several hours and will feature video's, lectures and other things
including the NRA Great American Whitetail Collection of trophy bucks
and also trophy shed antlers. It will appear in over 60 cities and
will be here in Columbia, S.C. on Jan. 23. Admission will be $10 for
NRA members and $12 for everyone else. I plan to attend and if so,
will post a report on the outcome. (Hint: I will tell you if it is
worth the money imho).  There is a number to call for info:
1-800-492-HUNT. If I like it, I will post the dates and places given
later.

BTW: The magazine has an incredible story of a hunter who happened
upon two massive bucks with locked antlers who literally dueled to the
death.  Well, one was dead when he found them and the other was near
death. One of the bucks scored 172 2/8 and the other scored 171 6/8 on
the B&C.  The photo's alone are worth the $2.50. Some people have all
the luck.  There is also a photo of a decent S.C. buck in full velvet
taken by a hunter from Florida of all things. There is another photo
of a really monstrous buck taken in Alberta with a bow. This monster
scored 171 7/8 making it the number 2 non typical. What is really wild
is the rack was nearly covered with baling twine. I suppose the buck
got it while raiding a farmers hay barn for camo!. ;-) Awesome.


Enjoy!

Keith
