I think I remember this place...

... yea, it's this hunting and fishing blog I started. Haha, yea I know it has been a while since I've been around; between exams, papers, projects, job fairs, and interviews I have been neglecting, hell I've damn near forgotten about the blog. Not only have I not been blogging, I don't think I've been on twitter more than a handful of time in the last month or two, but this is all about to change again. The weather is finally breaking around, the last round of exams are over and I'm ready to start writing again.

This weekend Jay, Jared, and I are heading out to the WV Fishing, Hunting, and Outdoor Sports Show. This is a great and growing event in the Morgantown, WV area. This should be a great weekend to get back into the swing of things and who knows I might even get a few new toys this weekend to review. Either way, I just wanted everyone to know that I hadn't left, I just got a little distracted.

Random Ramblings: III

Well this isn't want I had planned on posting this weekend. I had this wonderful idea of taking everyone with me along on my  trip to get a new toy (ok, it's not a toy and you may already have a clue what it is), and then testing it out. This would be all well and good, except that fact that I didn't get even as far as leaving my house this weekend. I was hit with my own personal version of the plague, I will spare you the details, but it reminded me of those college mornings you swore you weren't drinking again, only I didn't drink the night before.

• If you hadn't gathered it yet, I have a few post planned here in the near future with my new purchase, well once I get the time to go get it now since I wasn't able to this weekend. If you haven't guessed it yet, I'll give you a clue, go look at what I did last weekend and the question I asked.

• I haven't forgot about the product reviews I had promised everyone either, they're still in the works. I have actually played with part of the stuff and am working on a write up for it. Just like most of you know, real life takes over sometimes. 

• New weekend is the 2011 WV Hunting, Fishing, & Outdoor Sports Show, that I wrote about back in January. Everyone knows where I will be next weekend for sure.

Thank you all who visit and participate with this blog.

2011 WV Hunting, Fishing, & Outdoor Sports Show

It's always around this time of year you start to hear about the outdoor shows and at least I start planning on which ones I'm able to attend. Granted I never get to attend every one I want to or even then, all the ones I had planned to. But the West Virginia Fishing, Hunting, & Outdoor Sports Show is one I have been attending for quite a few years now. Maybe it's easier to attend because it's only a short drive from my house or maybe it's because most of the vendors are local and I tend to favor the local guy over the box store, well at least in most cases. This event has grown over the years now, I've been there when maybe 40-50 vendors would show up, to  last year there were over a 100. If you're in the area that weekend and you love the outdoors they have seminars, kid areas, and just everything outdoors, it may not be the best or biggest one you've been to, but it will sure be worth your $6. Even if you're not in this area, start keeping your eyes peeled for your local or state hunting and fishing expos, they're gonna be here before you know it.

Note: I have no affiliation with the West Virginia Fishing, Hunting, & Outdoor Sports Show, I am just giving my two cents worth on it, and love to see stuff like this promoted and succeed.
