I went for my last time about four years ago. Way too many booths there that have absolutely nothing to do with hunting. It is all about making a buck and padding the pockets. I guess in a way I do the same thing.

Used to be some good times there-Years ago. Met Ben Lee and he signed a book he had written for me. He printed his name in it. I got to sit down at the motel with him and talk hunting. He was as country as they come and I loved everything about him! I also always enjoyed Joe Kelly. He was the same type man as Ben Lee. Country all the way through. We talked hunting for hours also. Got to meet Dan and Guy Fitzgerald, and Noel Feather who were some of the early industry leaders. These were the good ole days of the hunting show before all the junk came in. I would go back for lineups like these.
