Hunting Greats Invade New York

The biggest names in deer hunting will be assembling for the first time ever at the debut of the highly anticipated Whitetail Summit 2009 and the Ultimate Sportsmen's Experience this September at the 98,000 square foot Adirondack Sports Complex (Dome) in Queensbury, NY.

Among those scheduled to appear and host seminars are the Benoits (Larry, Lanny, Shane, & Lane), Barry and Gene Wensel, R.G. Bernier, Hal Blood, Joe DiNito, Craig Dougherty, Neil Dougherty, Jim Massett, Alan Probst, Dan Schmidt, and Dick Scorzafava.

"It really is one of the greatest line-ups ever assembled of people who understand all aspects of the white-tailed deer and how to hunt them," said show promoter Jeff Frazier. "What is even more impressive is that this list isn't complete. We are still waiting to sign contracts with some other huge names in the whitetail world."

"If you know anything about deer hunting you have heard the names," said Fraser. "For over 20 years their work has been on the cutting edge of the whitetail industry, and I am absolutely delighted to announce they will be at the Whitetail Summit," he said.

In addition to deer hunting, the three-day show will include seminars by other recognized sportsmen. "By no means is it just a 'deer hunting' show," said Frazier. "The 'Ultimate Sportsmen's Experience' part of it includes bass pros, trout fishermen, fly casters, predator hunters, turkey callers, dog trainers, fly tiers, antique sporting goods appraisers, taxidermists, Boone & Crockett scorers, ice fishermen, goose hunters, trappers - you name it and they will be there," he said.

"We are not sparing any expense when it comes to the show's seminars and promotion," said Frazier. "We have literally combed the East to also bring in some of the latest high-tech interactive attractions, wildlife displays, kids activities, and highly acclaimed select exhibitors," he said. "This is a show unlike any other that has even been in the area before."

The show will open on Friday, September 11 and run through Sunday, September 13. In addition to seminars, the whitetail experts will assemble on Friday night for a special panel to answer audience questions. On Saturday evening, September 13, all the deer hunting personalities will again regroup in a relaxed setting with ticket-holders for candid conversation and dinner.

The 2009 Whitetail Summit and Ultimate Sportsmen's Experience is pleased to announce another exciting addition to its already packed line-up of seminars.

"We are delighted that Anne O'Dell and other representatives from the New York State Snowmobile Association will be giving a presentation at the Summit focused on snowmobiling in New York," said Jeff Fraser, president and CEO of Great White Productions.

O'Dell joins the list of over 25 other expert seminar presenters on subjects such as brook trout fishing, fly fishing, turkey calling, predator calling, goose hunting, and much more.

"All of these are in addition to the 14 deer hunting legends that will all be doing seminars throughout the three days of the show," added Fraser.

"We are just putting the finishing touches on the complete seminar schedule and plan to be announcing it to the public early next week," said Fraser. "The quality, talent, and diversity is really unlike anything that has ever been done in this area before," he said.

The show will open on Friday, September 11 and run through Sunday, September 13 at the Adirondack Sports Complex (Dome) in Queensbury, NY.  In addition to seminars, the whitetail experts will assemble on Friday night for a special panel to answer audience questions. On Saturday evening, September 13, all the deer hunting personalities will again regroup in a relaxed setting with ticket-holders for candid conversation, and the 2009 Whitetail Summit Dinner Sponsored By Trijicon. Immediately following will be the awards reception featuring the 2009 Hall Of Fame Award Presented By Beagle.

The 2009 Whitetail Summit will feature over fourteen whitetail hunting legends including the Wensel Brothers, the Benoits, R.G. Bernier, Hal Blood, Joe DiNito, Craig Dougherty, Jim Massett, Alan Probst, Dan Schmidt, Dick Scorzafava, Dave Ehrig, and Ken Hammel.
