Trophy Wall Attracts Many to Square Saturday

The second annual Whitetail Classic Trophy Wall was deemed a success by local organizers, who said that a lot of people came to learn what Deer Capital is all about.

There was lots of information disseminated, and many people learned about the mission of Deer Capital.

The purpose of Deer Capital is to promote education, conservation and heritage. Deer Festival hopes to grow the deer in Jasper County, so the county again has a reputation that attracts hunters from all over the place.

Representatives of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) were on hand during Saturday’s event to answer questions about hunting and tell interested persons how to score the deer.

Many people who viewed the wall expressed amazement at the size of the deer from Jasper County.
