Nothing this year but I bought my first Danner hunting boots last year as well as a Cabela 8 n 1 Upland hunting coat. Both are extremely good buys in my opinion. The Danners were worn brand new on a MI Grouse trip in very wet conditions for a week and really came through. The Cabela coat/vest has great zippers and is very easy to convert to suit the conditions. We go from hot to cold real quick here in SE Indiana. |

I'm on my 3rd season with a pair of Danners. They aren't waterproof anymore, but they're too comfortable to get rid of. I'm really hard on boots/shoes and these have lasted me the longest of any pair I've ever owned. |

It is a regular full CABELA'S Field vest. I got it out of the bargain shop. It is just like my Remington Vest. Big front pockets lots of Orange on it and all that good stuff. This is not a strap vest which I have a few of also......Bob |

I really checked that new vest today. That thing is really elaborate. It has zipper pocket over the shells pocket a zipper pocket inside and an open pocket inside. I have never seen so pockets. A lot more Orange than I remembered. Really a nice vest for what I paid for it. It was so cheap I paid for it with bonus points. I had some help from my son he bought a new gun......Bob |

Sounds great. I'm saving my points up for something big. I don't know what yet, but I'm holding onto them.

Did Sportsmans Warehouse go out of biz? I know they closed the 2 locations in Wisconsin. |

The Sportmans here was bought by somebody else. They sold out all the existing stock and then started over with own stuff. I have not been in the store since it changed hands......Bob |

How ironic. I just got an email from them because I was on their list. The closest store is now in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. The email said how they are now coming out of bankruptcy with a whole bunch of marketing stuff after that. I wish them luck but doubt I'll be in any of their stores any time soon since they are so far away.
