Post by: birddogdad on January 06, 2020, 10:52:28 AM: 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.

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.

Post by: wadu1 on January 07, 2020, 09:13:37 PM: 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.

Post by: Jpmiller on January 08, 2020, 06:25:15 AM: 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.
Title: Re: Puyallup Sportsman Show 2020
Post by: Sundance on January 08, 2020, 06:42:58 AM: Best closeout deals are usually at this show. Not sure on scopes but i generally spend a pile of money there.

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... :)
