My self I enjoy it. This was my 3rd year going, it has become a tradition for me and my son to go every year. He's 6 now and we've been making the trip since he was 4. We just enjoy it as a father /son day. Start out leaving home @ 8am, always stop at the same waffle house and have the same breakfast, go to the blast and wander around and let him play /get face painted, and the afterwords we always go explore bass pro shops as well. I never did the convention thing growing up, it just wasn't something my family did, so maybe I wasn't spoiled by the "good ole days". My expectations aren't too high, I'm just looking for something mildly entertaining and maybe to see some new stuff. My son loves it and was amazed by the snake show this year. He's still talking about it. That in and of it's self makes it worth it to me. Yeah I'm sure there are things that could be improved, but times have changed. As long as we continue to enjoy it, we'll continue going each year.

This may have been my last deer show ever. The vendor tactic of yelling at you or trying to give you a flyer is getting old. I look left, I look right...I see your product. If I wanted more info, then I would come to you..Plus the duck callers are doing way more harm than good with those loud annoying calls that they are constantly blowing on.....ALL DAY
Dang duck hunters!

Went last year with my 7 year old granddaughter, she enjoyed it and I enjoyed watching her. Did not make it this year.
This. ^ I go with no expectations and always have a good time. The guy with the IR camera that attaches to your scope was a hit with me.
Sorry I missed you. I was there Friday afternoon. Looked for you but didn't see you.

The one that had the side-mount viewer and optional eye-piece? That was cool. If it had an effective range of farther than 150 yards I'd be saving my pennies for it.

That sounds like about as good of a day as you could have, getting to spend it with your son. Doesn't get any better! Don't let that tradition die, he will remember this as, "the good ole days."

That's what I'm hoping for man. This time was even better cause a friend of mine and his son whose the same age as mine got to go. The boys had a great time.
Mine is the one in the Batman shirt.
That's the one. Strap it on the scope on your AR and you have the perfect night time yote hunting machine. Throw in a Foxpro electronic call with the remote control and the yotes don't have a chance.

That's pretty much what we do. My kids love it. We watched the truck buck youth shootout on Friday. My son is already saying he needs to shoot a biggun
My daughter got her face painted....my son shot the bb gun and did the mechanical bull. I even got on the bull....but....the girl operating it decided to make a fool out of me
Got a couple of free t-shirts....some of bigelow's secret rub....some broadheads for my bow and a couple of machete's from Razorblade. The kids got a few stickers, a blow gun and a knife...all in all, it was a good time.
That's when we were there....lol...wonder if we saw each other.

Was there a fee to get in? I find it very hard to pay to go in a place to buy something.
Maybe the booths are very expensive to rent. A local sporting goods store in my area quit going to the fisharama due to high booth prices. They use to bring tons of good stuff and had very good deals. They said it got too expensive to go. They would rather have a sale at the store.
