RE: So how do you like Wal Mart now?
The local Walmart here is upgrading. Being a contractor I'm interested in who's doing it. The locals that most people like to cry about having such a hard time because of them, are making a pile of cash building it. In the same area a half a dozen new stores are just being finished because of the draw of Walmart. Jobs are being added and most likely more of my friends will work there, happy people, I've made it a point to ask, people who I've worked for. People who make it possible for me to hunt.
Walmart was a small store once that has grown. If a small local store grew and expanded to other places would people stop supporting them or would the same small store refuse to grow? Do people go in to local stores and ask if the small shop has plans of expanding to other cities taking jobs and making it hard on the locals there as Walmart is so often accused of doing? Wake up! The people who scream the most are a bunch of cry babies who want nothing more than to latch on to Walmarts titt.
What's this doing in the bowhunting section anyways?

Unfortunately, you're right...but I'd rather spend my money at smaller, locally owned stores. Those people support my business, so I reciprocate! If it costs me a few extra bucks so be it!

I bet those "happy people" working at your local Wal-Mart would be much happier if they could afford to shop somewhereelse, or send their kids to college.

for me, I asked a person that worked in a brand new super wally world...she said that she knew nothing about it. I cannot see a wally world being built in the previous six months eliminating their sporting goods.

I haven't shopped at Wal-Mart in years! I couldn't care less about their gun sales, I just hate sending all our money (and jobs) straight to China!
Years ago Sam Walton built his reputation selling goods Made in America...I bet he's spinning in his grave!

Wal-Mart has a horrendous track record in regard to the hiring of undocumented (illegal) aliens, providing adequete medical insurance to its full-time employees,and the right for employees to organize. In Canada (which is heavily unionized), one brand new Wal-Mart store'sworkforcevoted in a union and was closed down the next week.Wal-Mart also promotes the sale of foreign goods by offering suppliers extremely lucrative contracts in exchange for providing goods atextremely low prices. These goods are madeby people who work under sub-standard conditions for slave wages.All this from a company whose founder built its reputation selling goods made in America. These are not rumors, but public record.

All our Wal Marts have great hunting sections. They just remodled the biggest one and added a butt load to their hunting and fishing section. I bought a 300 wsm from them not long ago. Im not too proud to say, 2 to 3 hundred dollars makes a huge difference when I buy something. I saved 200 bucks at wally world on my 300 wsm.

I would like to know what kind of hunting products you use? Realize that the majority of all hunting products you buy are manufactured in asia. This is just buisness.Because most companies in the outdoor industry are smallto be sucessfull and competitive they have to get things made the cheapest way possible. With fuel prices rising, shipping of products and labor becomes a factor in what will make or break a company, while you ask how can it be cheaper to ship something from asia to the states then have distrubted, It is labor, the cost of labor plus shipping fees in asia is cheeper than cost of american mfg. without shipping.So my question agian, if you are not purchasing anything made china, i would say you better sell the better half of all you hunting supplies. No matter what shop you bought it in it most likely was made oversees. Wrong, right or indifferent, if you owned a company where would your manufacturing plant be?
