Our local news just said at 6:23 AM that Dick’s Sporting Goods was REMOVING the Hunting Departments in over 400 stores ! ! ! ! Spineless ! Empty Sacks ! Politically Correct (momentarily) and ANTI Constitutional. Oh Well! I never bought anything there. Will NOT buy ANY thing there now.

They had already alienated most hunters to the point they couldn't sale any hunting gear anyway. No loss.

Politically Correct (momentarily) and ANTI Constitutional. Oh Well! I never bought anything there. Will NOT buy ANY thing there now. ADD : That includes GUNS & AMMO. It does not affect me personally because I never was a patron. We have a Dick heads Sporting Goods Store 9 mi from my house. I Never was in the store. What does anger me is their CAVING into the Anti 2nd A. We KNEW where Bloomybird stands on firearms. J Biden does NOT know where he stands ! He CAN’T remember what he stands for. He & other DIMS have a 1 plank Plattform. “Beat Trump”. Back On Point : We collectively, are losing here tho. The buying public has 1 less Hunting Outlett. I hope this hurts them to the point they go Completely Out Of Business. Won’t miss them.

Local one here has a "Field & Stream" store attached to it open to the Dick's store. has quite the gun counter. I usually don't buy there but interesting to see if they're going to lose the guns and what they'll do with it. Was an old Sears at the mall.

They need a new slogan: Soccer Moms Love Dick's!
Works on several levels.

The F & S two man ladder stands are the most comfortable and easiest stands I've ever hunted out of or put together. Got a few for me and kids to sit together.

WHO CARES? Did anyone on this forum ever buy anything from there that was Hunting or Gun related? Probably NOT!
Don't buy into the whole Dick's anti blah blah blah........ We never supported them and margins on what they did sell to the most basic of gun consumers was minimal. They sold junk! Honestly it was a smart business move on their part. The media and maybe even the exec's at Dick's saw it as a good talking point for the anti's. Which lets be totally honest here is their main consumer base. Remember the Term Speak with your wallet! And we clearly did not speak with our wallets at Dick's.

This would kill the founder.
Let's see how this experiment works for them. They are 80% a clothing store these days.

I actually bought a climbing tree stand there in the past. They had some sort of coupon that made it a bargain. I don't use it much because it weighs 5,000 pounds and is as awkward to carry as a burlap sack full of feeder pigs.
Only thing I ever bought from them.

They are catering to the metrosexual male. Their sporting goods has been a small fraction of their floor space around here.
