I used to go years ago . I have outfitter friends that set up booths in there ..
I would spend 2-3 days during middle of the week ..
It's a great show with lots to see , and go to some of the seminars, they where great
It takes a couple days to take it all in ...
I used to get an exibitor pass , that helped with the entry fees and let me in the back door early ..
My friend has a Canadian spring bear hunting business
I would go one day over to Hershey chocolate factory , and buy a pickup truck load of chocolate for his bear bait ... this was old or outdated stuff that they couldn't sell ..
they would load my pickup with a fork lift , until the truck was sagging on the springs
I remember there where tubs of Carmel , that was still solidified.
So you just chopped it up with an axe , it lasted a long time ..and didn't spoil
Bears loved it
