Are you going? What're you interested in looking at? Any seminars you're going to checkout? Which seminars do you recommend to a new bow hunter? :tup:

i will be out of area for Puyallup this year but we did get a monster 6X bull this year that the shooter is supposed to get scored there. Picture doesn't do justice! Picking up from Taxi (Natures Way) to drop / score bare head.

I’ll be going as usual. Been to it every year since 2000, except 2007 when I was on deployment. I’ll walk around and check out nearly everything there. I’m planning on moving soon, so it’s most likely the last time for me.  I’ll miss it.

Portland is bigger with more big name vendors and manufacturers. That said Sportco will still have better pricing at Puyallup even with WA sales tax.

for the first time in a few years I finally have some money burning a hole in my pocket so I’ll probably buy some stuff I don’t need.

I have not been in quite a few years now and really don't miss it. Not much there for me unless I was looking to book a hunt.

I'll be working the kids fishing pond again this year. Tacoma Sportsman's Club has been furnishing the volunteers for a lot of years. I'll be working all day Thursday and all day Saturday and Sunday. Stop in and say Howdy if you can, I'll be up to see Russ at the turkey booth.

I haven't gone in a long time. Do they do any deals on gear at the show? Looking to pick up a new Leupold scope soon.

Best closeout deals are usually at this show. Not sure on scopes but i generally spend a pile of money there.

They seriously offer discounted non-res tags at the sportsman show?

Yes … Call Back Confirmation from Idaho F&G today verified ... they wave the 3% Credit Card Fee @ show ("essentially 3% discount") ... it's something ... better than full price/no discount.  :o

They are sending Officer Mark Carson again for the seminars … Great Speaker IMO.
Always impressed with ID F&G Customer Service people & officer interactions,
soo nice, real professionals … and just go the xtra mile to answer all your questions... :)
