Plans for the 2011 Dixie Deer Classic are taking shape, and we are pleased to announce the return of our special guests Michael Waddell and Lee and Tiffany Lokosky. In addition, we will also have from the Duck Commanders Operation, Jase Robertson. To accommodate the overwhelming attendance to the seminars this year, we will move our “Main Stage” to Dorton Arena, in hopes that everyone that wishes to may find a seat. We also are working on plans to have a North American Big Game Species display at the show that will include mounts of all the hunted game animals of this continent.

We may still encounter some changes that could affect our exhibitor floor plan, but we are ready to begin accepting applications for booth space. Squatter’s rights have expired for returning exhibitors that wish their same booths, so it is time to begin leasing space.

Exhibit space pricing remains the same as 2010. As part of the move to Dorton Arena with the speaker’s stage, all regular booth space has been deleted in that building. Exhibit space will be limited to Gun Sales Tables and the operation of the 3-D Archery Tournament. Exhibitors that were previously located in normal booth space have been relocated into Building One.

Dixie Deer Classic Announcement 7 Mar 2010

On behalf of the Wake County Wildlife Club I want to thank the 24,000 people that attended one of the best Dixie Deer Classics in it’s thirty year history. Let me follow that with, WE HEAR YOU! We are currently negotiating with Lee & Tiffany and Michael Waddell to have them return for the next Dixie Deer Classic scheduled for 4, 5, & 6 March, 2011. If that is successful, we will schedule their seminars in the spacious Dorton Arena so that even more of you will be able to attend their sessions.

One of the truly amazing sights at the Classic this year was the 756 white-tail deer brought in to be scored. At DDC number one, we scored a whooping 215 heads, during the one day show, but back then we even had a “spike” category, so they were included in that count.

This year, in retrospect, I went into the scoring area about 11 on Saturday morning, and the floor was covered with deer waiting to be scored. I noticed a pretty 8-pointer, a respectable “shooter” that would eventually score 124 in the waiting line. It was the smallest one there at the time. It is great how the attitude of NC hunter’s has changed through the years, from “It’s got horns, shoot!” to “Aw, that’s just a teenager, let him walk.” That attitude change is why those big bucks are out there now.

In the coming days, as the cobwebs begin to blow away from our weary brains, we will get the web site updated with all the results of the show that we know everyone is anxious to see. Please be patient. With different teams and groups working on the different projects at the show, collecting all the information and getting it into suitable format takes a little time, but we will get there. We plan to post the following on the web site. Click Here for Currently Updated Results Page

1. Deer Entry Category Winners
2. NC Deer Scored Listing
3. Updated Honor Roll of NC Whitetail Deer
4. 3-D Archery Competition Results
5. Trail Cam Photo Contest Results

8. Listing of major prize winners.

It is also appropriate to thank our volunteers for all their time during the show, and extend a special thanks to the North Carolina Bowhunters Association and the North Carolina Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. These two groups brought their state conventions into the Dixie Deer Classic and with them new and different venues that combined to make this year’s Classic a truly memorable event.
