Deer & Turkey Expo

Event Summary

With the winter deer hunting season coming to a close, what better time to celebrate our game animal diversity than at the 5th annual Deer & Turkey Expo! This year, the Mitchell County Deer & Turkey Expo will take place on Saturday,March 9th, with doors opening at 9:00. If you bagged a big buck or bird this past hunting year, found an awesome set of sheds, or scored a sweet trail-cam photo, we want to see them! If you have an animal or photo you’d like to show off, just bring them to the Milton R. Owen Nature Center before 2:30 to get scored. Animals, sheds, and photos do NOT have to be from the past year or from Mitchell County. We do ask that animals from the 2018 hunting season be cleaned and dried at least 60 days to be scored. We have several great local certified scorers that donate their time and talents to this event, and will score your animal or shed(s) for free! To get your chance at some great prizes from Cabela’s, enter our friendly contests for a $5 donation. We have categories of: Biggest Buck, Tom, shed, and matched shed, as well as People’s Choice for both animals and Trail Camera photos. Trail Camera photos can be emailed to chelsea@osage.net, or brought in the day of the Expo. Prizes will awarded at 4:00. Even if you don’t have an animal to get scored, come out to cure some cabin fever and enjoy samples from local lockers, place your “People’s Choice” vote, enter our raffle to win prizes, or join the archery shoot competition for your chance to win a bow, and much more! We are also planning a Turkey Calling contest and kids Shed hunt!

Whether you’re a hunter, or an avid wildlife watcher, it’s a great way to get an idea for what kind of genetics are out there and what other kinds of wildlife you might see in the field.

 Donations from this event go to the Mitchell County Environmental Education Foundation to support educational programs, events, and displays in Mitchell County. It’s a great day to celebrate all things outdoors at the Mitchell County Deer & Turkey Expo, so mark your calendars for March 9th, 2019!
