I've always wanted to attend one of these events, but they were either too far away or I had something else going on and couldn't make it. Well, this one was only 2 hours away and I have a new vehicle, so I had no excuses.
I'm so glad I went and saw all the stuff. A guy could catch Saddle Hunter rabies while you're there.
I got to meet a few YouTube personalities like Greg Staggs, from Staggs in the Wild, Dan Infalt that hunts with The Hunting Public on occasion and some of the others were gear guys that I've ordered things from in the past. Mike Isbell of Backwoods Mobile Gear, from Eaton, Ohio makes some very nice, high quality aiders. I kinda feel like I know some of these guys, because I see them so much on YouTube and it was good to actually meet them in person and have a conversation with them.
A number of vendors were from neighboring states of Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan, which makes for good customer service relations.
There were a lot of show specials, a lot of demonstrations as well as putting the customer in the saddle and letting them do their own "feel it out" tests.
I'll attend another one, next year, if at all possible!!!
