Vancouver Outdoor Expo. WHOA WHOA WHAT?
Mfowl:
Investigation still ongoing, hopefully Barbour will have to reimburse some of these vendors he allegedly hosed!
full choke:
He sold a booth to the Clark County Sheriffs department!??
HaHa! What a Tool!
They should tie him to the bumper of a truck and drag him from Puyallup to Vancouver and then try his remains...

I’d be curious what current WA guides/outfitters would think of this, along with WA hunters. Nothing crazy, pay a small licensing fee to WDFW to be a registered guide so there can be some oversight to who’s advertising guided hunts. There’s been some debacles with salt water waterfowl hunts here lately, I’m curious if this would be generally supported or shot down.

Like taxidermists in this State, even if they are licensed. Alot of them are shady, so choose wisely. The State won't hold the bad ones accountable.

That's a whole other can of worms, some really ugly scenarios have played out here with taxidermists in the past. Unfortunately, I've been apart of two myself.

Is the event organizer, Shane Barbour, in jail yet? This has got to end with him in cuffs

"KATU News also checked our marketing database and found that Barbour did advertise the Outdoor Expo on KATU News. While he did advertise, we were not a sponsor of the event."
The other day I looked at the KATU website and they had a promotion of the event on their website interviewing Shane Barbour and they took it down (quote above). In that interview, Shane said "it was the largest expo in the NW". He was also advertising $65,000 in prizes for a mechanical bull riding competition. Would like to think something was illegal with that.
He was running a "raffle" at the Puyallup sportsman show. First thing I thought when I saw his raffle was that he was stealing that money and there was never going to be a raffle winner. I am curious if the Washington State Gambling Commission is in the loop on these scams.
Have the other venues he had booked for scam expos cancelled his shows yet?
