Here is my observation of the SFW money grab. I don't generally like to attend this sort of event but it is always interesting to see what sort of new equipment is coming out and the other comical total BS products some companies are pimping. And let me preface this by saying that the younger generation is so gullible and engrossed in social media they should be ashamed of themselves. The only thing more shameful is the people taking advantage of these young adults.
You guys know who I'm talking about. The ones who sell over-priced hats, hoodies, stickers and t-shirts and offer no other product or service. Perhaps they pimp a bow or optic company but offer nothing other than $12 hats for a screaming deal of $24.95. I don't get it, it is a cheap hat with a picture of a deer or deer horn. I saw one company selling over-priced health supplements for the extreme hunter?..WTF!
I hope these young fellas will sit back and realize they are being manipulated into buying overpriced products because they saw this company post 27 pictures of the same elk horn from different angles. Just because they post pictures of three great bucks or 100 elk antlers in the same year doesn't not mean you will be just like them if ya buy this overpriced non-essential crap. And a lot of it is just crap.
Think about it, these guys are taking advantage of you so they can finance their own entertainment and repackage it and sell it to you again next year!! These guys are not anything special. The product they push may not be the best or be right for you. They push it because they are getting paid to do so, always remember that. They simply have more time (financed by you) to run around the country chasing the dream. If you really want to chase the dream go buy a video camera, become a wildland firefighter (winters off), and stick all your sh*t on You-Tube. Get enough followers and then ya can go pimp your own nonsense at the expo.
Don?t fall prey to some smooth talking cool 40 year old in designer jeans and a flat brim hat. He probably killed all those big animals with land-owner or expo-tags (again financed by the consumer). Pure madness I tell you!!!
