I also did the vendor thing but stopped several years ago now.
We had some fun times in the early years but the last few I took part in was just a big drag and not worth my time.

Ah but see Fabs you don't have to have the checklist. That's what I am working on now is getting back down to the raw fun of hunting the old way. Yes some things are nice, and I am lazy, BUT I am working on that too.

Have already decided to do all my hunting this year with my single shot 20 gauge again like the old days.

GOB,
A 20ga single shooter can make the 12 dove limit for 1st phase an all afternoon event.:D

Yep and it can make the 15 per day limit on squirrel a real hoot too!

You want skill? Get close enough to plug that deer with a 2 3/4 inch rifled lead slug from a single shot 20 :D Hit him right he drops like he was hit with a sledgehammer. You don't and I certainly hope you practiced tracking when you were doing all that bowhunting :p

The last gun show I went to was a total disaster. Almost nothing but dealers with prices jacked way up high. One outfit that sells nothing but ammo and primers had priced running $2.00 higher than Sportsman's warehouse and the Warehouse's prices are already way too high.
All the rest was jerky and jewelry. $9.00 to get into the show, $5.00 for parking, Hot dogs at the lunh counter $4.00 :eek: , like four bucks for a six inch dog? :rolleyes:
I spent exactly $10.00 at that show for a pretty blue handmade beaded necklace for my wife. ;) Cheap insurance should I come home with another gun. :rolleyes: :D That is, if I can even find a gun at these gun(?) shows.
