The schedule of events will include seminars from the Whitetail Fix TV show airing this spring on the outdoor pursuit channel. Dean Zimmerman, state biologist with the Department of Natural Resources will be discussing what caused the decline in the deer population and answer questions at the end of his seminar. Putnam County's deer population was one of the hardest hit in the Midwest this year. Any information that the hunters, farmers and property owners can share on the number of deer found dead this last year with Zimmerman may help in determining a closer percentage of the deer lost in Putnam County and other counties in the Midwest. Zimmerman will appear on Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. only. Other seminars will be given on food plots, deer and property management.

Drawings will take place throughout the three-day event for prizes donated by our sponsors.

Enter our Big Buck contest and display your big buck on our wall of trophies. $15 entry fee and free weekend pass. There will be a Typical and Non Typical winner. To win the buck must be a legally taken deer. (Firearm, bow, cross bow). Score will be total inches with no deductions.

The Indiana Mid-West Archery and Whitetail Deer Expo was created and promoted by Mike Hanlon. With Putnam County being surrounded by four major city's and Interstate 70 stretching from the east to the west and going right through Cloverdale, Mike  found the C Bar C Expo Center to be the perfect location to hold an Outdoor Sportsman Expo. Not only will this be a big event for Putnam County but an annual event that will grow year after year. Cloverdale already hosts the Traditional Bow Hunters National Shoot at the Cloverdale Conservation Club and Bedford, Indiana hosts the third leg of the IBO National 3-D outdoor shoot. Mike is already planning on staging the State Championship 3-D Pop-Up Shoot-Em-Up Challenge this summer at the C Bar C Expo Center.

Archery competition and 3-D archery shoots have been steadily growing in popularity. For those wanting to learn to shoot archery there will be seminars given by Peggy and Allen Royer all three days of the Indiana Archery and Whitetail Deer Expo. This will be open for all ages. State certified and well trained staff will help you learn more about the archery equipment and the rules of the shooting range. Putnam County 4-H archery club members will also be to mentor the new shooters.

Come break up the winter time blues and enjoy competing in the individual and the two man archery shoot. If you would rather watch the competition, bleachers and seating will be set up where you can see the action. Help make the C Bar C Expo Center and Putnam county one of the top locations in the state for indoor archery events and a new venue for vendors to market there products and sponsors to advertise their business.
