Turkey hunting, Fishing gear, Gun show ans FROW will be there measuring trophies. 

There will be a trophy competition and random prize draws, so bring in your trophies and take a chance. $10 to enter the contest, but FROW will measure regardless of whether you're in the competition or not.

off topic but, the carp is as smart as they come.

I found out today there are FIVE muzzle loaders being offered as prizes, at least one of which will be awarded as a random draw among the entries submitted.  Most of the other prizes are awarded via draw as well, and are usually worth more than the $10 entry fee.
So dig out those trophies and get them entered!

I can't afford the 600 bucks of fuel required to even get there and back.

I was manning the trophy measuring booth, and we had a great weekend.  We had 50 entries including 4 sets of mounted sheds, and measred 3 other trophies after the book closed.  So of the 57 measurements, we had 29 that would qualify for FROW.  Unfortunately, we were rushed at the end and gave the sheets and instructions to the owners, but I hope they all submit their entries.
We had a 196 NT buck submitted, as well as a 165 5/8 and 163 3/8 typicals. 
We had a number of exceptional moose submitted.  Four scored over 180 - the best being 187 4/8 (winning the contest by 3/4 of an inch)and another was over 172.
There were several prizes donated, including some guns, so some lucky winners went away very happy.
Here are a few pictures:








I have many more pictures, but this post is probably already too long to read easily.  You may be able to make out some number cards on or near some of the trophies - these are the scores.
