The New Hampshire Antler & Skull Trophy Club (NHASTC) is proud to announce that it will be holding its 14th Annual Big Game Trophy Show and Sportsmen Show at the Raymond High School Gymnasium, Raymond, N.H. on Sunday, April 13, 2003. The NHASTC, a non-profit organization, was established nearly 15 years ago to chronicle big game records of "Granite State" trophies. The NHASTC has succeeded in recording well over 1000 big game trophies. Copies of the New Hampshire Big Game Record Book will be on sale at the show. Also, the NHASTC coordinate's the NH Trophy Deer Program for deer over 200 lbs. The entire list of qualifying deer from the 2002 season will be on display. Each year the NHASTC assembles an impressive display of trophy class whitetail deer, black bear and moose trophies that have been taken in N.H. Sportsmen from all over New England gather to have their big game trophies officially measured and put on display for the general public to view. This years big game trophy show is expected to draw in excess of 1000 sportsmen/spectators. In attendance will be our staff of certified measurers to officially score and record both current and past trophies. Also on hand will be informative speakers who will offer free seminars and demonstrations on various hunting/shooting/wildlife-related topics. This year's speakers include "The Benoit Brothers". Their successful tactics of finding, tracking and bagging big bucks will be taught by Lanny, Lane,and Shane Benoit. The Benoit brothers have co-written two books on trophy whitetail deer hunting. Great Northern Productions has spent four seasons with the Benoits filming their hunts and producing two videos. Also we will have a representative from NH Fish & Game to give an overview of last years deer, moose and bear hunting harvest totals. This year as an added attraction, other non-profit sportsmen's related organizations will be present with displays. The NHASTC would like to invite you and your family to attend this spectacular, fun-filled event and we encourage you to bring along as many trophies as you like to be measured and/or displayed for others to see. Also there will be free door prizes awarded during the day to lucky attendants. The club will also be selling tickets on its annual gun raffle: the winners will be drawn at the show. The doors will open at 10:00 A.M. and will end at 3:00 P.M. Food and drink will be available at the show. We look forward to seeing you there with your trophy (s). We invite you to bring a camera or video recorder to capture some of New Hampshire's finest big game trophies. Bring lots of film. Directions to show: From Route 101 take Exit 5.
