It’s the Anti-Hunting pendulum continuing to swing.
Ever since Wal-Mart stopped selling guns and many bullets their hunting items have drastically declined. I was in one on Sunday and other then a few ball caps they had nothing orange at all and where they use to have almost 2 isles dedicated to hunting clothing and products there was less then a half isle.
They have more paintball paraphernalia then they do archery and gun combined.
It’s a shame since they were OK for grabbing those last minute things you needed for the season.
Don’t let the sale on shot shells they are running fool you, they must be clearing out their warehouse.

not true. Its the economy pure and simple. Some other HUGE selling walmart lines are cut back too, I know its hurting my wallet.
If the economy was the case then why did their electronics departments triple in size with all the big HD flat screen TV’s that cost way more then gloves, sox, hats or ammo?

I would like to use a local gun shop...if there was one. If I was into fly-fishing, there are 3 places local but the closest gun shop I know is 25 miles each way.
JMO, I think they moved away from gun sales and supplies because of public sentiment and to avoid the possibility of being a deep pocket contributor should someone get shot by a gun sold in one of their stores..
