Overall the show was OK. Friday was a great day, Saturday was good, but Sunday was very light all day. We met and talked to a lot of interesting folks about deer, turkey, ducks, weeds, ponds and fish. I even had a request to design a 10 acre fishing pond with an additional 20 acres of dog training areas that could double as a waterfowl hunting area near Dallas. Fishing, Dog training and bird hunting are three of my favorite activities, so I am looking forward to starting that project!
We even had a few clients present, and want to thank Jim Fenton and his wife who own Doe Run Plantation that we work for in Sylvester, Georgia for the hospitality one evening after the main festivities ended.
We hope you enjoyed the updates and now its time to get back to work. Steve will be collecting water chemistry samples from the St Johns River in Florida this week and Grady and I will be spraying aquatic weeds at Holly Lake Ranch, near Hawkins, Texas. It is only predicted to be 104 degrees, so that is about 5 degrees cooler than last month.
As always the fish attractor brought a lot of folks to the booth either to compliment us on it or to see how to order or build them for themselves.
This display was very cool showcasing long-leaf pines apposed to planting other species, and had a nice turkey mount as part of it.
Some of the booths were very elaborate like this John Deere display where they laid down several pallets of sod. I know they didn't come from Texas, we have not had mud here in months!
The folks that train antler shed dogs were there. This is a pretty cool idea, but I would hate for my dogs to grab an antler instead of a downed bird during a hunt.
This truck belongs to a 15 year old boy named Zac Cooper that has had his own hunting show since he was 11. He has been interviewed on the Hunt Life Outdoors Show and he does have good manners.
