Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

My son and I are going on a pilgramage a couple weeks from now up to the BassProShop near Baltimore...

Anyone want to meet for lunch?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

I wouldn't mind meeting up with you if I don't have much going on (wife pregnant, selling house, buying other house, packing, etc. etc.) Let me know when you are coming and I'll see if I can drive the 7 minutes from my house!

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

7 minutes? You must be spoiled for it! I'm looking at possibly the 17th.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

I would be spoiled, but my wife and I are buying a house and I'm having a cabin built on my property in West Virginia, so I can't spend much money on hunting for a while.

The 17th is a Thursday, right? I have to work Thursdays. If you end up going on a weekend, let me know. I'll check this thread for updates.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

That's next thursday, right? I might be able to make it. Let me check my schedule and get back to you. What time are you thinking about? You can e-mail me if you want.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

No.1GW and I are up for it, but are you still going?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

mizzou2002 ? Still alive ? Wherrre arrrrre yooooou?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

I will down there the 22nd and 23rd to take care of some bussisness and was planing on going over there on the 22nd. Will that work for anybody?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Apparently Mizzou posted this and never checked it again. I sent several e-mails and never got a response. However, No.1 and I are going there today (thurdsay the 17th) and will probably arrive around 1pm. Rick, I know you know us.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

It would be nice to arrange another meeting when several of us can go. Don't you guys work for a living? I can't make it there Monday through Thursday myself.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

OK Charlie and Dave, fess up, what did you buy?<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Well since we both had a birthday in the last two weeks we bought lots of turkey hunting stuff as our gifts.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

We decided to forget the Harrisburg show this year due to it's ever increasing costs. This allowed us to each spend our birthday $$$ on a bunch of stuff we might have picked up there. After looking it over, Charlie's right--mostly turkey hunting stuff.

DougMD--Both Charlie and I work for a living. Due to the nature of our jobs, we work varying shifts and don't get too many weekends off--meaning we can do these things on our days off during the week.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Happy b-day guys.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Well, since you asked, DougMD, work took me right out of the picture. I hope you guys had a good time up there. I did drive to within a couple miles of the place, but couldn't go. Work changed my plans for me.

(As for not checking this post, I was away from my computer for a couple of days, but if I'd known how much interest there was, I would have tried to ditch work!)

Hope you had a good time.

DougMD, are Fridays okay?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Fridays are good for me. How about this Friday (January 25)? I don't really need anything, but wouldn't mind checking out the gun safes.

By the way, I didn't mean the work comment as a derrogatory remark to anyone.

Who can make it there Friday?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

A bunch of us have been tossing around the idea of going too. Last year we went to the Harrisburg show, it was ok. We thought we would try something different this year. We hunt, fish and camp so Bass Pro should keep us busy for a couple of hours. Is it worth the three hour trip? There would be a few of us splitting the gas money with nothing better to do during the offseason! We have a Gander Mountain 4 miles from my house, but it isn't all that.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

It is just a store with a lot of hunting stuff in it. It also has some mounts of impressive deer. I would say it's worth it if you have a lot of stuff to get and are looking to check out someplace new.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

I've been to both this one and the one in Houston--both are nice. We spent 4 hours in this one! The mounts over at the gun section is absolutely mind-boggling! Unbelievably huge racks of both typicals and non-typicals over 200+ inches! The prices aren't anything special--average for the most part. The Harrisburg show is just getting too costly--when I heard about the extra $10 they want you to cough up to park this year, I had enough.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Shoot! Can't make it this Friday, but possibly February 15...how would that be?

stinkin' work is kicking in! Someone on this thread jinxed me!

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

The 15th is fine with me too. Anyone else want to meet up on Friday the 15th at BassPro for lunch? It would be nice to meet up with some of the people on this board.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

It's on my calendar, and maybe the wife will let me bring some money, too!

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

I am going to stick with the catalogue, not going to pay that Md. sales tax,

if you don't mind i might try to make it on the 15th, sounds like it might be fun

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

RonM, you would rather pay shipping and handling right? I could make the 15th also.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Sideways, I'm sure you're welcome...

Hey everyone, how will we meet? How will we know each other?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

I'll try to make it. I work 15 minutes from the mall. It's a real nice lunch time diversion.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Theres a lounge just inside the main enterance of BPS. It has a lodge setting with mounts all over the walls and sofas and chairs, a fireplace and all. We could meet there at a pre determined time.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Thanks mizzou, let me know what time

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Count me in. That lounge, it is just inside the OUTSIDE entrance, right, not the mall entrance?

mdbohuntr, didn't you post about hunting near Bowie State a few decades ago? I ride the train by there 4 days a week and have seen deer there quite often.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Doug, yes on both accounts. The Bowie state college post was about a post where someone asked if you ever found a body while hunting. I walked right past one that was dumped there while I was hunting but yes I did hunt there often. I imagine you still can.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

anyone decided on a time?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

hummmm, not much activity with this, wondering if this is still happening?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

Mid day to mid afternoon would suite me.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

does anyone have the address of this new BassProShow?

Anytime mid-morning/early afternoon...

Let's start firming this up. How about 11am?

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

My wife has a doctor's appointment (7 months pregnant) at 11:00 AM and I have to watch our son. But I should be able to make it by 12:00, and can make it for sure at 12:30. Can we do it then, or anytime later.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

12:30 will work for me, that would give me time to get about 2 hrs sleep after work before I headed down.
mysticguido, it's located just off the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy on Rt.100, take Rt.100 east from the pkwy and it's right on the right. If your coming north on the pkwy theres an exit for Bass pro Blvd just before the Rt.100 exit.

RE: Pilgramage to BassProShop in Baltimore
 

1230 sounds great...that'll be more time for browsing...

I may go broke! And by the way, one of you is going to have to show me how to use my owl call. I'm completely clueless! (spring turkey not to far away!)
