Buckarama,

the world's largest trade show of its kind, is returning

to the Atlanta Expo Center bigger and better than ever.

This year's

show, sponsored by the Georgia Wildlife Federation, is

packed with world-class exhibitors and informative

seminars, as well as inexpensive hunting equipment, door

prizes and more.

Headlining

this year's show is big game hunter Rodney Kelly. Kelly

has hunted all over North America and will have the many

different species he has harvested on display. He will

give a daily seminar on how he took the different species

and will discuss his hunting techniques.

Galen

Shinkle, a modern day Robin Hood, also will be on hand,

perrforming some of the most amazing trick shooting

archery in the world. He made the Guinness Book of World

Records in 1989 for hitting 10 bulls eyes in a six-inch

disk in 60 seconds, while hanging upside down from his

friend's teeth. Shinkle will give a free youth archery

lesson daily. Prizes will be awarded in each class.

Sam Collora

is another celebrated hunter attending the show. In 1996,

Collora harvested the highest gross scoring typical

white-tailed deer ever taken with a bow in the world. He

will conduct several seminars discussing hunting

techniques, the use of scents and lures, and white-tailed

deer body language.

There will

be plenty more seminars for the avid hunter, including an

exhibition of Roy Coffey's hunting dogs in action. There

will also be hundreds of wild game and deer on display.

As with every year, there will be the lowest prices on

hunting equipment, door prizes and a chance to win a 2001

Ford Sport Trac.

Admission

6-12; children under 6 are free. There is always free
