I'd love to make the journey & go, but where to stay? I assume there's not a chance to stay at the Omni (?)

I'm not going to make it this year. I was thinking it was the following weekend and scheduled a hunt with a bunch of buddies. I'll be sure to double check next years schedule a little closer.

Who bought what?
If I go again, I gotta remember to go Wednesday afternoon and leave, at least the exhibits, before Saturday early morning. There are a few short seminars that are worth attending, and anyone can walk in on those, they don't check tickets, admission stamp etc. But Saturday has just too many Whistling Gophers, doing the "cowboy shuffle" - hands in pockets, sticking their elbows out as wide as possible to take up the maximum amount of room in the aisle, and just sauntering along as slow as possible, looking everything up...……….and down.
Speaking of pretend cowboys - who's the TV hunting dude with the stringy long blond hair and the cowboy hat? He "sauntered" into a booth while I was in the middle of buying something and looked like he expected the world to stop. The hunting world has some strange characters.

We went Saturday, and yeah, you nailed it. I did enjoy visiting the booths of a few of the manufacturers that I wanted to. I still believe that DSC Convention is the hands down winner to see trophies....trophy wives with sugar daddies.

Trijicon is the same as Sigtron when it comes to the same glass for all scopes. It's the add-ons, i.e. illuminated reticles, exposed turrets, etc etc that drives the prices. Glass is the same across the board. I wasn't aware of this either until the rep mentioned that to me.

I love the DSC.....on Thursday and Friday. I dodged 3 tornados getting back Friday evening going back home but I don’t think it was worse than navigating the crowd on Saturday.
Went and did what I needed to do, saw some friends, had a few drinks ( ok more than a few ) and had a good dinner with friends and colleagues.
It can get overwhelming trying to gather info for hunts, and trying to keep up with all the gear and new technology. The taxidermy displays are my favorite part by far.
Overall a neat show that I enjoy going to.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
