Sad story,,but I feel like it's only the beginning. We have a long rough road ahead guys...sucks.
Sportsmans Fly Fishing section had shrunk over the last few years, but they still had a good selection of other outdoor gear and guns. I'm sure they will regroup and come back as Spritsmanz Whorehouse or some such.
I envision people tying flies, loading shells, cleaning guns, building and repairing rods on their front porches, with little wooden signs.
And somehow, that strikes me as a good thing... the REAL American way!
The bigger they are...the harder they fall
