As we gear up for the Rogers Sporting Goods Waterfowl Weekend 2023, I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts and experiences regarding this event. Waterfowl hunting is more than just a hobby; it’s a passion that brings us all together in nature, and events like this really boost community spirit.

What to Expect?

From what I’ve heard, this year’s event will feature:

  • Special Offers on Gear: A great chance to snag some of those must-have items for the upcoming season. Have you seen any early teasers on gear discounts?
  • Workshops and Demos: It’s not just about buying; learning is a big part. I’m excited to join some workshops on calls and decoy setups. Has anyone put together schedules for these?
  • Community Engagement: Meeting fellow hunters can lead to valuable insights and maybe even some hunting partners for the season. Let’s discuss how to network effectively during the event!

What Are You Looking Forward To?

As we build up to the weekend, I’d love to hear what everyone is tracking:

  • Are you looking for specific gear this year?
  • Do you have any tips for maximizing our time at the event?
  • Any must-visit booths or brands you recommend?

Waterfowl Weekend is a fantastic opportunity to dive deeper into our passion. Let’s utilize this space to share ideas, plan meetups, or just talk about our favorite gear!

Let’s get the conversation going below! :duck:

Right?! But let’s hope it doesn’t pour! I have a bad feeling about it this year.

I hope they have some motion decoys! Those make all the difference in bringing birds in close.
