The main reason I want to make one too, lol. :s2:

Went last year. Didn't see that much hunting stuff. lots of outfitters.
wasn't all that cheap either

sadly a bad storm for show on saturday.roads will be nasty until 10pm saturday.

i miss going but cost is nuts as far as i am concerned.i used money this time to buy a SUMMIT 180 MAX climber but i do miss going ,it was always a LOT OF FUN.........

I never used to miss a year of going to this show. Always had a great time, but now, it's gotten pretty expensive and the "show specials" aren't really all that special anymore. I'm gonna skip it this year, I guess. With the 32" of snow that's still falling, I don't think many from this area will be going until later in the week . . . when there's another storm with 3-6 more inches predicted!!

miss going
 

i have yet to find anyone that is going from western clinton county but there must be someone.
i had a lot of fun there for longtime like back in 80s.the outfitters seem to be taking over more of show than was in previous years.

my friend is the owner of TOP CALLS.he used to go every year but now does not.
he said it just got to expensive with gas,motels,parking,fees etc.big boat owners also caused a lot of trouble taking up space and moving things around to suit them.
i remember when we had 150 seats for bass seminars,last time i went it was bleacher with 5 rows..........

so things are changing and finding deals there, well i can beat anything there on internet...
if you want deal go on last day.some may mark down their stuff,some wont..

take care sproul
