The North Missouri Sportsman’s Alliance (NMSA) has announced that it will be making changes in its outdoor programming activities. The NMSA will not be conducting a Fall Outdoor Fun Day in September of this year, but in February of next year, the organization will be bringing back a portion of the Outdoor Classic it sponsored for a number of years earlier in this decade.
On February 17, the NMSA will be holding an all-day deer measuring program. The event will be held at the Chillicothe Elks Lodge.
“We are tentatively calling it ‘The Horn Show,'” said NMSA President Steve Shoot.
The event will run the entire day with local hunters of all ages being allowed to bring their deer racks in to be measured by certified judges.
“The only two areas that we are aware of offering deer horn measuring north of the Missouri River are Columbia and St. Joseph,” said Shoot. “We used to offer this as part of our old Outdoor Classic events and it was always very popular.”
Shoot said the NMSA will also operate contests for Best of Show, Best Typical, and Best Non-Typical. There will also be several youth categories.
“We are still working out a number of things we want to offer at the show and they will be announced later in the year,” said Shoot.
