I’ve been there every year for the last 10 or so

I usually pop in before the program starts..... I’ve been staying for the Trophy categories the last three years I think cause my kids keep entering.

I haven’t won anything since I think 2007-2008 when I placed in pheasant with my first dog Bessie.

I missed a big rooster this year..... he haunts me man.

No I didn't make it this year! I was measuring at our club the same day. I'd like to see some pics though. I'd never win with my sheep anyways.

Looks like this would have been the year for ya, looks like a 160 ish ram won. Or am I reading those results wrong.
It seems like a substantial drop in large heads overall at Willow this year ?

Sure wish I wasn't working and could have went, would have picked up a W on 3 categories

It was good this year again, i've been the last 12 years or so and it seems like there has been a decrease in overall heads. Usually there are always a few good ones but not like it has been in the past. The mule deer was good this year with a couple over that 200 inch mark and some nice typicals. Elk was a little weak this year. I think the fact that the lethbridge scoring day and the gun show all on the same Saturday seems to affect what heads come. I've also noticed a decline in booths in the up stairs sections over the years. But overall its still one of my favourite shows around. One of these years i'll win again.

thanks for coming on the weekend and great to hear that its still one of your favorites

although I agree with what you are saying foe the most part but I do need to correct you on a few points

January 2019 total heads measured 98
January 2020total heads measured 133

January 2019 vendor tables 5
January 2020vendor tables 10

if anyone knows of anyone that would like a possible table for next year please send them to the willow valley website to contact the appropriate people.

as for the Lethbridge measure day. this year may not have been as much as an issue as past years as I think they scored on Friday as well allowing those heads to be here for Saturday, regardless we need to discuss with Lethbridge moving forward. I think everyone could agree that staggering the days would benefit both clubs.
