Definitely! But excuse my ignorance......what is PFSC? And some discription of your wife so we dont come off as complete wackos....that we are.
Sorry, Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsman and Conservationist - PFSC here is the website https://pfsc.org/home - if you are from PA you should look into them and becoming a member. They are the group that advocates for the hunter, gun owner, public land owner and so on directly to Harrisburg. Basically the voice of us when it comes to our rights

My wife is their marketing director. Her name is Catherine, she will have a name tag on, Brown hair, a few months pregnant (but hides it well) and likely the only girl that will be working that booth thru the week.

Her booth will be in the fishing section.

I think I may try to run up Thursday & meet up with my elk guide from last year…..
I'm planning to talk to outfitter to book a guided elk trip at GAOS. If you have a suggestion for a good one, I'm all ears!

The guide we used last year just sold his operation but he’s keeping all the guides. One of which I’m meeting up with. It totally depends on the type of experience you’re looking for. We wanted a public horseback trip in a rugged remote area with good elk numbers & we got it. We both had opportunities & my buddy connected. Pm me

Did most have show discount? Cash only discount?

I can see this for the smaller businesses, not Lancaster obviously.
YEa they had a "discount" at most booths. who knows if its really a discount though. If youve been to a gun show you know the drill. Lots of guys doing the PSA markup with a discount back down to normal price.

I think it depends on the vendor. I definitely got some Tactacams and accessories cheap at GAOS last year.

My advice is make a list in your phone with what you want and list the normal price and the typical sale price 10-15% off. AND the typical shipping price (just throw it in your cart online to see). Having all this at my fingertips helps me avoid impulse buys unless I know it is a sale I can't beat.

But only for the things I thought I would be interested in! I still get sucked with some impulse buys for things I didn't know I wanted.

That's funny. reminds me of when I bought new mags for all the guns I bought during the "AWB". I still have a bunch of silly 10 round Glock mags somewhere.

Hey guys! Come see me in the outdoor products hall booth 4138, we are called Tusca Outdoors. I’ll pretty much be there almost every day except Monday (it’s a grind lol). I love talking saddlehunting for a change of pace so I love to see guys from the forum. Ask for Josh if you swing by.

Shameless plug for a product we just launched yesterday and will have at the show :

Tomorrow is opening day.
Will Cruzr show their new climbing stick?
Will LWCG show anything new?

Cat Trax will show their 1lb stick. Are the steps/standoffs aluminum or plastic. What is the stand off distance?

Any other new products that could make me visit the support thread again?

I was at the show Saturday and Sunday and am going back next weekend both days also. It was buzzing all day. Hope to meet some more of my online friends! I will be in booth 4311 with the Ape Canyon Outfitters / RockNArbor crew. They have a new rope in both 8 and 10mm: Rougarou is the name, and it will be on the website soon, and the JRB10 coupon code will be honored. -JRB
