Here in the Midwest during winter there are musky fishing expo s in places like chicago,Milwaukee,minneapolis,Ohio,Indiana and others, famous retailers and cool custom lure makers have booths with things for sale. These shows usually go from a Friday to Sunday.
However one of the funniest things is that on the Sat nite of each show somebody arranges a swap meet at a local bar or restaurant. I arrange the one in Minneapolis and we are on our 18th year,,everybody brings their rods,reels,hundreds of lures and anything else related to swap,sell. It is a HUGE turnout and it's also a social gathering for muskie guys to hang out and talk and the bar restaurant is happy to have us because we bring in so much business, they reserve a section with tables to lay stuff out on and the waitresses make a lot of tips,,it's just a win,win positive thing.
I'm wondering if anything like this is done at the NWTF convention in Nashville I realize there's a show with vendors but is there a swap meet somewhere???
If not it would be fun for everybody attending to bring their calls,camo,books,dvds anything turkey related, "firearm s and ammo of course wouldn't be allowed at bar" to sell swap hangout or maybe make some new hunting connections
Anything like this happen there,,or should it?
