Special consideration is given to the hunters who have amazing stories about their trophies. This one-night show will be filmed for airing on the upcoming television program and is a must see for every Michigan deer hunter.
Woodland Woodcarvers Come and see the beautiful and impressive display of the Woodland Woodcarvers.

The State’s Best Taxidermy On the 3rd floor “Grand Gallery Overlook” If this is your first time, come down and see why so many people say when they walk through the front door of the Sport Show is: “Which way to the Taxidermy?” The Michigan Taxidermist Association holds their annual competition and convention at the Show each year. Fish, deer heads, small and large mammals are all on display. Upwards of 250 mounts are entered! Most museums would love to have just a sample of this annual display.
Virtual Fishing Simulator Presented by the Michigan Charter Boat Association Simulated fishing? Yes, it is “virtual fishing!” Take the trolling rod in hand, watch the video screen and get ready! The salmon takes that lure like a freight train and your job is to land that fish. Michigan Charter Captains are on hand to coach your fish playing technique. Top scores win charter fishing trips on the Great Lakes! Proceeds benefit the Michigan Charter Boat Association Scholarship Fund.
