Went the the Hunting and Fishing Extravaganza. It was fun for the first 15 minute stroll around the vendors. After that, I completely lost interest as there wasn't much of anything I felt compelled to buy. Som of stuff was "on sale", but not really any cheaper than you can already get it for. I was hoping to find some archery targets on sale, but only even saw 2 and they were the same price as Bass Pro, plus the entrance fee.
-fairly disappointed, but didn't have anything better to do, plus there were a few good looking ladies there.

The shows have been VERY disapointing around here for some time now! Back 7 or 8 years ago they were better. Now it isn't worth the time and money to even see the few good deer people bring in.

I went yesterday as well. I'll agree, its a joke. I wish someone in West Tn. would put on a decent show. Drove all the way to Memphis, fifteen minutes later, I was done. Mostly junk. Later

The last 2 or 3 years I went to the one in Memphis I was really disappointed and kept asking myself why I even went. I haven't been now in the last 4 years and I don't think I've missed a thing.

Guys this show is a joke. I dont know why I even go anymore. I figure that maybe I will be surprised. After Ducks Unlimited bailed out several years ago it went downhill fast. Any out of towners coming in go to Wal-Mart better selection and better prices. Half the stuff in there isnt even related to hunting.

I went last year, and it was just ok. I didn't go this year. I could'nt think of any reason to go.
I REALLY wish Ducks Unlimited would have their Outdoor Festivals here again. I liked that. I'd go to that if they brought it back.

I wrote it off several years ago myself. No reason to pay someone to charge me more than I can already buy the stuff for!
