All blinds, treestands, and climbing sticks knocked down 40% right now. I picked up another set of sticks for $23.99 plus tax.

Mid-archery of this year I purchased a new 22ft stand from Menard's. The paint is already flaking off of the stand and it's rusting. We have several other stands, all from Cabela's, that have not done this. Theirs is almost like an anodized coating vs paint. The Menard's stand appears to be painted. So be careful what and where you buy them.
As a side note, the platform on the Meneard's stand is smaller and offers less room to stand comfortably.

I hear Rural King is an awesome store. |

Some of us bought some sticks from Rural King in quantity and got a little more knocked off.
We bought 36 sets at $20 each. That is less than half priced from the original price of $49. This was wheeling and dealing with one particular store. That was tried at another store and they would not go along with it. Evidently each store is independently owned.
40% off at most stores...

I take my stands in and out every season, so I am going to touch up the paint in the spring. All of mine eventually need it because I haul them stacked on top of each other on the 4 wheeler. The rubbing together and banging around eventually chips or wears through the paint. I go a step further and buy the camo paints and camo the stands a little anyway before I ever set them up. Paint in spring and store till August or September and set them up. I usually take them down after I am done chasing rabbits. I should probably take them down sooner. I figure that the less weather they see, the longer they will last me.

I took my wife to get her hair done and while she was there I drove over to the Rural King on the west side of Evansville. EVERYTHING hunting wise was on sale for 40% off. That included archery - arrows, broadheads, the whole works.
I picked up a Pop up blind, 2 Hunter Safety Systems Life Lines, 2 packages of long accessory and bow hooks by Hunter Specialties and a gun case.
Love it!

Which blind Woody? I just bought a hub style blind from rural king and love it, made by yukon tracks I think? The only thing I see on it is F36 Hexagon Hunting Blind - Autumn Leaf. If it lasts a couple season it is worth it. I paid $47.99 for it. See... www.ruralking.com/blind-hunting-autumb-leaf-camo.html |

I went yesterday and they were pretty well picked through. No climbing sticks and no hang on stands that I could find.
