    Might be taking a day off work and getting my boy out of school to sneak down for the day to look at kayak fishing gear and of course hunting stuff. I haven't been down in probably 5 years.

    For the last 18 years or so, I've been going to the Sportsman Show at the IX Center in Cleveland. This will be the first year it isn't happening. It had shrunk and pretty much turned to garbage over the last 10 years. Since it won't be happening this year, going to head to Harrisburg with dad for the first time February 10th

    Haven't gone in years. Not sure I will be back. Too busy for me (I'm getting old).

    I might go, when is the "prime time" of the expo? What are some of the cooler events and things to see? I've never been before.

    Really the whole show is worth exploring. Can spend multiple days there and not see it all. Favorite time to go is Super Bowl Sunday. Around mid afternoon the place starts emptying out.

    Feb 7th for me. I choose to take a paid vacation day (slow season for work) assuming there’s not as many people but its still full. Never been there on a wknd so don’t know how it compares

    The wife and I had a great time.
    I bought the tactacam.

    Seen a lot neet stuff, little disappointed in the bowhunting area, not a lot there. A fair amount of the crossbow stuff. Not a fan but if it's what you want or enjoy have at it
