We are already making plans for 2015!

Let me know your thoughts on what could/would make this a better event. Keep in mind this is a hunting specific event (Predator/Hogs) We are doing the best we can to make this an event for all to enjoy.

PM with your thoughts.

SOS KEN

How about running a video kiosk / display on the main floor of user (forum/registered guests/public) submitted videos of their hunts.

Visually we take away alot from these Internet forums of other members hunting stories and hunt videos.

I'd say to not have dealers or pro / pro-amatuer videos here but rather the hunters who attend your shows that control the population throughout the year.

They could submit the video to you with a release of rights form (mainly so you can edit out the bad words cause yes we tend to get excited) and you have a representative of World Predator Hog Expo do the editing / credits / compilation and it plays in a continuous loop.

The point is : In the last 5 years I have witnessed growth and popularity of user submitted videos which corresponds to technology advances that make recording videos easier for the masses. If you feature some of these videos you may actually cross-market some of the equipment being shown and make the guys and gals who participated in the video feel good all in the same stoke.

Just an idea -

WOW... What a action packed weekend at the 2014 World Predator and Wild Hog Expo in Waco Tx.

We started out Fri night hanging with the Boondock Outdoors family and enjoying some great Texas BBQ and The Jason Boland concert.

Then Sat we spent all day at the expo checking out all the cool exhibits and spending time with all my great friends that came down for the expo.

I also got to spend some time with some amazing kids that called in the youth calling competition. It put a huge smile on my face to see the next generation of predator hunters learning the the art of hand calling.

Then Sat night 7 of us went on a guided bowfishing trip by yours truly...lol

It's was one of the best times I have had on the boat to many laughs to count... and we even managed to get every one shooting a few fish.

Then Sun we were back at the expo for the 2014 World Predator Calling Competition and let me tell you the contest this year was tuff to win all the callers did an amazing job and made it tuff for the judges to pick the winners.

I enjoyed being this year's Calling Competition Director it was a full time job ...lol

With the help of my lovely wife Robin Skinner we managed to keep things running as smooth as possible!

After the show was over on Sun we had a great meal with Luke Long and Brett at Texas Roadhouse and then headed out calling to try are luck in the rainy conditions before the Coyote Light crew headed back to PA.

With the help of my good friend David Stroud we were able to get Luke Long a big male coyote and a nice female red fox down even in the bad conditions. I pulled in the drive way at 5:00 am this morning just in time to take a shower and head to work ... Sleep deprived ? Yes... Was it all Worth it You bet!

Can't wait till next year! I pray everyone gets home safe and enjoys some much needed rest.

Here's some pics from the expo!

God bless Skinner
