I e-mailed Renfro Productions, the organizer of the Deer and Turkey Expo with some of my thoughts about this years event. I mainly stated that it was too crowded, and they need to expand it to be more inviting for waterfowlers. I got a response from Kevin Renfro today and here is what he said:
Hi Travis,
Agree with everything you said. Sometimes things are easier said than done with regard to bringing in the vendors you mentioned.
Unfortunately we have run out of room at the State Fairgrounds. Even with the expansion of the convention center downtown the Fairground will still have more room. There are things in the works however to expand more buildings here.
We have already begun organizing a duck and goose calling competition for the 08 show.
Believe me I am a duck and goose hunter myself and would like to see this aspect of the show expand myself.
Thank you for your input it is very much appreciated. It is from attendees like you that help us improve our show.
Thank you,
Kevin Renfro President, Renfro Productions and Management Inc.

Whatever happened to the old "Hoosier Deer Classic" they used to have at the Marion County Fairgrounds? Seems to me they would have enough room there! That was always a good time, I met my good friend Roger Raglin at one of them. I haven't liked the Deer and Turkey Expo since they made it that and put it in the State Fairgrounds......Just my opinion.....you know what opinions are like don't ya? Fuzzy

Fuzzy I was told they wanted to make the deer classic bigger so they just combined it with Boat, Sport and travel Show. So thats what we have now.

It would be great if they had a organized duck and goose calling contest. Not like the one they tried last year.

There is more room for the deer and turkey show at the convention center. They just can't have all the boats a stuff there or they need to rent more halls. It comes down to $$$$.
