RangerClay Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I went to wally world yesterday to get a grill cover and what a trip be without a swing throught the sporting goods to peek at the turkey hunting goodies. Well boy was I surprised to see NOT ONE stitch of Realtree in the store. There were a couple hats but all of the camo was the stuff called Fusion. They have always carried Realtree clothing. First they stop selling guns and now there is no more Realtree:mad:. I'm done shopping there for my sporting goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Wal-Mart's sporting good dept has always been a joke. Thank God for Bass Pro. And the little Mom & Pop place here in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I buy fishing lures every great once and a while at Wal-Mart. I did buy some RT AP there before hunting season, but don't buy much hunting or fishing supplies there. They just don't carry a good variety. Our local Wal-Mart doesn't carry ANY turkey hunting supplies. I usually go to Gander Mountain or Academy to buy my hunting supplies or order on line from Bass Pro/Cabelas. I get almost all of my fishing stuff from a man we call Old Man Grady, he owns a local independent tackle shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 our walmart here in Indianola Iowa does sell guns and ammo and they occasionally have Realtree clothes. but the walmart in Creston iowa does sell a bunch of Realtree camo. i usually buy a hat or 2 there. they have a lot of the Fusion camo but i very rarely buy anything hunting related from walmart. i prefer Lancasters, Buck Hollow Sports or Amazon.com.

wtnhunt Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 That is a shame Joe. The wal mart here had some turkey hunting stuff on clearance already when I was in there yesterday, and they do have realtree stuff too. Cannot complain about our store.

OJR Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 The only time I ever go in there is for motor oil and that is about it! I hate the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 not much Realtree around here either... only time I by sporting goods from there is if they are having a clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Mine has guns and realtree clothes they also carry some primos calls and some other name brand calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 depends on which one you go to around here, some sell guns, some don't. As for camo, the yusually sell mossy oak, some realtree, and some other kind at the one down the road, but thats only around the fall and winter. they are turning ours into a "super wal-mart" so they don't have much hunting stuff right now. went to one where my aunt and uncle live, they had guns, camo, Hunters specialties, primos, knight & hale calls, some decoys,camo, ammo...a bunch of stuff.

Jeramie Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I talked with a store manager once. He told me it was a store to store basis. I guess that decision is made by the sporting goods manager... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I talked with a store manager once. He told me it was a store to store basis. I guess that decision is made by the sporting goods manager... Hmmmm, I'm friends with the sporting goods manager at ours and he is not happy with his employer at all. He says he needs a LOT more hunting stuff but they refuse to ship it to that store. Soooooooo, he refers everyone to Bass Pro.....40 minutes down the road. Also, the only stores that sell salt water fishing stuff are the ones down around the beach. Doesn't make sense.....don't they know that folks from my town fish in the Gulf too and could just as easily buy their gear BEFORE they went fishing????? Stupid...... But look who we're talking about. Same place that puts out turtle necks and parkas in FLORIDA in July!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 A lot of it depends on the store manager too. The manager at our local store hunts and reloads. We can get any RCBS equipment, Hogden's powders and all that they (Hodgens) have, Sierra, Nosler and Hornady bullets. I just ordered RCBS dies for my 25-05 and 223 and they are just $29 for the set, and bullets and powder are cheaper than midway with no shipping.

aksheephuntress Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 ....Yeah, I don't like the idea of supporting Walmart, and the cheap merchandise...but,ours (up in Anchorage...and, as far as I know, the ones in Fairbanks,Wasilla, etc.)...has a huge, extensive rifle, handgun, and fishing department.....and ammo....it's hard to beat the ammo prices....

elkoholic Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My only comment about Wal Mart would be they are the evil store. They are an example of why this country is going to fall apart one day. A heavy handed, manipulative management style along with deceptive marketing practices is their mode of action. Corporate leaders making millions, employees making starvation wages and selling cheap stuff at cheap prices. Sometimes you can get name brand items for cheap but the shopping experience lowers the value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 the camo was the stuff called Fusion. They have always carried Realtree clothing. They have been carrying this crap at my location for about three four years now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You guys think your wal marts are bad go to the on where I live and tell them you need a hunting license and deer tag.You might as well have asked them what 2+2= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 It's funny about Wal-Mart and I think it might depend on the Sporting Goods manager. The one store we have close has everything in Mossy Oak. The one in Oakland, MD (1 hr away) has all their hunting gear etc. in Realtree. Go figure?
