I was really looking forward to it this year after a year of suck. My new son-in-law is new to big game hunting and was really excited about it. Both my kids and their spouses as well as my wife were going to make a long weekend of it. Would have been expensive for a couple hotel rooms, eating out, kennel for all our dogs, stuff bought at the show, etc. Some of that money won't find it's way into the economy.

Teal, the cool thing is you can touch, even if you can't afford. Where else can you handle a $100K rifle with no intention of buying?
