Tuesday, February 4

We left home about 9 a.m. to head for the show at Harrisburg.

It was an especially beautiful drive – after about eight inches of snow the day before.

This area was breath-taking.

Cerwin was interested in finding the outfitters, but along the way we stopped to admire a wall of trophy racks.

This amazing taxidermist display – from Myerstown, PA – was just inside the outfitters hall.

After enjoying this great display, we began looking for outfitters who Cerwin wanted to visit.

He had them listed on a piece of paper by their identification number. There were hundreds – most from the United States, but there were many from other countries – so it took several tries to find some of them.

Our first stop was Whitetail Trophy Hunt from Missouri, where he hunted in November.

Then we went to visit Mark Smith from Hunt West Kentucky where Cerwin, Jeff, Jordan, and Nate hunted in 2012.

His main purpose for stopping here was to sign up for a hunt this fall.

While he and Mark visited and discussed this year’s hunt I photographed the area around me.

There are more pictures for tomorrow night.
