Title: Dick's considers removing hunting gear all together
Post by: zadvorney on Dec 01, 2018, 07:25 PM
I haven't shopped there in a few years and wouldn't in the future.  More reasons not to now.  May they drown in golf clubs and over priced harbor freight quality clothes.

Would not be surprised if they transition all hunting/fishing to the field and stream branded stores. Have had actually had very good luck at F&S since gander closed and cabelas was bought out.

Dicks never has anything I ever need.  Especially when it comes to fishing supplies. You can buy any crazy umbrella rig and $14 suicide duck you want.. I even think they had some floating plastic rats and bats with hooks in them that were supposed to be real fishing lures.. But God forbid they have a decent selection of spoons or stick baits or a jig head over a 1/2 oz or anything else you may possibly need for the fingerlakes. Just a bunch of gimmicky lures and rubber worms. I've written them and talked to managers but their selection just gets worse and worse. Problem is in Syracuse there is nowhere to buy fishing gear besides dicks and herb philipsons. Wal-Mart has a better selection in one aisle than an entire dicks store. You have to drive all the way to bass pro in auburn or Utica if you need anything. Good thing I'm not in Syracuse anymore and work in auburn. Makes life way easier.. Now I just need to find somewhere in auburn to buy live bait. Any suggestions?

Field and stream is a subsidiary of Dicks , along with a few others ,
  The Dicks near me back in the day was a decent store , now the fishing department is out classed my mom and pop stores in my area ,  , if you need kayaks and workout equipment plus sports clothes, that’s the place , the F&Sstore is well stocked but is 2.5 hrs away ,
  IMO on the gun issue they are bowing to the public cry for more gun control and their sales have dropped way off

Yes same company, the Latham store(s) are side by side with common registers in the center. The F&S side has a pretty good selection of outdoors gear while the Dicks side is all athletic gear/team sports/bikes/golf etc. Still not a full size cabelas or BP but well worth a look in the capital district.

In the Syracuse area we are fortunate to have a Runnings which has a great hunting and fishing dept.  Briefly stopped at Dicks for something last week and laughed at their ice fishing display.  Was also disappointed that Herb Philsons looks like it is going under - they also used to have a solid ice fishing dept.

 Dick's has allways been a joke unless you want golf clubs or foot ball shirts
 Herbs has been going down hill for a while and it's not worth my time any more
 I'm not sure about the new Gander store yet, haven't been there
 Runnings is well stocked but the prices are painfull  (too bad)
  Fish 307 in Lk George is the place for me   well stocked,  store employees are helpful and know what they're doing, prices are what you'd expect to pay
   Don't ever forget about you're local mom & pop bait store  they want to make a living too   If you don't give them a little business they might not be there when you need some spikes      just sayin

Can't stand that store. Nothing but polyester leggings and shrink wrap "under armor" and "performance" underwear and other lightweight bullsh*t made in China they can pack onto cargo containers for high profit margins. In the fishing section you can count on aisles and aisles and rows and rows of garbage and the few things actually in high demand (8lb fluorocarbon in summer, or 2lb fluoro ice line in winter, etc) will be out of stock. All the best patterns of lures are out of stock, the most important size hooks are out of stock, the key weight sizes, etc. It's a joke.

Runnings has a great selection and I stopped at gander about a week ago and was impressed by what they had for ice gear and was told by an employee that they only had about half of their ice fishing gear out so I’ll have to stop by again in a few weeks to see the full selection

We used to joke about the "Dicks Tackle Box" which is someone fishing, using a plastic bag from dicks as their tackle box.  Usually easily spot those types around opening day of trout season.

The new dicks in Latham is pretty good if you stock up early. Last year I got a ton of jigs marked for 5 cents but the correct price was $5.00 each. Me and this old guy cleared the self before they could remove the wrong price lol. I mostly buy off amazon.

The story I read referenced a 10-store trial (labeled as 'under-performing' stores, with respect to the sale of hunting gear) and a determination would be made at a later date about the multitudes of other DSG stores.  As a retailer, if the gear doesn't sell in specific geographic locations, and it operates at a net loss, time to trim the fat.

They will go bankrupt soon too.... Their golf stuff is 100% overpriced.....fishing stuff 200% over priced.....selling name brand products only that you can find online or at mom and pop shops for the same price or cheaper.... they'll sell field and stream to cabelas/bass pro and go the way of craftsman and sears.....  Cabelas offering free shipping on all orders over $50 which Bass Pro has been doing for years..... why go and deal with people that don't know anything about the product compared to the guys on here.... click and let UPS deliver 3 days later!

Most all of them sporting goods box stores started as catalog stores, like JC penny.  They expanded and gained popularity then their retail stores suck and die a slow death.
I don't like any of the above mentioned.
I've always tried to support the local guy trying to make a living . Will say that with the advancement of the the internet,  it has helped on both sides .
Most anything I can't find local , I can online from a independent owned shop.
That's how I spend my money on most sporting goods.

Of course a firearm such as gun is a different situation and again all the above mentioned stores are a joke with no knowledge,  just another gun on the shelf.
I'll search out a local gun shop
Title: Re: Dick's considers removing hunting gear all together
Post by: trapper2000 on Dec 04, 2018, 09:03 PM
locale gun shops are generally a lot more expensive... remember the guy that works behind the counter at bass pro  is just trying to make a living too.... your never going to have the  selection and availability or price at a small  shop ..... I like to check out both then make the decession....but that's just me

I have two Dicks stores near me, one in Ithaca near Cayuga lake and the other is in Horseheads (Elmira). The Horseheads store also has a big Field & Stream just down the road and I work at the airport about a mile away from them. All three stores usually have a pretty decent stock of fishing and ice fishing gear but for hunting stuff its F & S all the way. F & S had the biggest selection of ice gear but the Dicks down the road seems to carry a few different things. An example is that Dicks has the Eskimo Fatfish 949i in stock but F & S has mostly Shappell and bigger Eskimo shelters on the floor. The Ithaca store has a better selection of open water gear and boat stuff since it is right near a lake that doesn't get ice fished much on the southern end. I hope they all keep carrying what they have been

As a kid I remember going to the Dicks in Vestal and Binghamton in the late 70's early 80's and they used to do reel repairs and sold bait when they were just a small shop.  Like it or not it's really something how that store went from 2 locations to what it is now.  Anybody from Binghamton area remember the old Philly Sales stores?  That used to be quite the place with a small section devoted to hunting and fishing stuff.

The only reason I do any business there is because there’s one right next to where I work, in the same strip mall and parking lot. They have a dismal selection to begin with for hunting, and their fishing gear is just enough to get me by in a pinch if I run out of something basic.

Forest Fisheries is a great little shop with really friendly/helpful people working there too


I was glad to see that Dicks has had a drop in sales numbers since changing their gun policy, seems strange that they are considering dropping hunters in an attempt to bring in more soccer moms.  I know I drop more $$$$ on gear than most broads do on tights and sportsbras

Between the decline in hunting and the short season compared to fishing it probably isnt that profitable. Ultimately its business if they where making good money they wouldnt stop carrying hunting supplies. I much prefer runnings and when im in the store the ice fishing set up seems to always attract more than the hunting set up, granted im in the store only a very small percentage of the time and the set ups are at different times of the year but thats my 2 cents.

short season  what are you talking about I can hunt  from oct 1  to dec 18 for deer and you think that's a short season? and that's just deer  rabbits  till match  and  less  gun licence  for deer are being sold however a lot more  bow licenses are  sold  along with a  big increase in waterfowl hunting again...... now consider this  27 million guns where sold  in  2016   that's a lot of reason to keep selling guns

Post by: Mancaveburnett on Dec 07, 2018, 01:40 PM
trapper I hunt and a lot of people I know hunt but most of us hunt for deer season only. Not all too many people hunt like you. Again if it was very profitable their would be no thoughts of not selling hunting supplies. Pure business. Now fishing, lots and lots of money to be made with much longer seasons. I know I spend way more money on fishing than I do hunting. Again just my 2 cents

Here in the Binghamton area the only place we have to buy any hunting or fishing items is Dicks. The selections stink but what's there to do? We had Gander Mountain until it closed. Short of an hour drive north or south we have to deal the cards with what we have. I get some things online but I sometimes like to actually hold the item in my hands before I buy it. And Trapper, right on my friend.  :thumbsup:

Post by: Jagger0502 on Dec 13, 2018, 06:44 AM
Don’t forget the Dicks and Field and Steam are owned by the same people now. Dicks started Field and Stream to compete in the outdoor world with Cabela’s bass pro and gander. And they bought the field and stream logo just to say they have been around since 1871 as a sales pitch even though they have only been in business for the last few years. It is not the same Field and Stream we grew up reading. When dicks pulled their ARs so did field and stream. Also, field and stream marked much of their high selling items 10% higher than they do at Dicks knowing people would rather shop at the field and stream stores taking advantage of the guys that don’t want to shop around at multiple stores. Their headquarters are here in Pittsburgh so it’s been a hot topic with a lot of folks I know that work for them knowing they are not Pro Gun, not really anti gun either, just not willing to stand up for gun rights when they should. The sales are likely down because people that are aware of this like a lot of people around here have stopped shopping there.

I live in Binghamton and remember Philly's, Sugarmans, Allen's and Dick's very well. Only a fool would shop at Dick's (Unless your in the market for a $38 pair of socks) I get my ass out of bed every Saturday morning for garage sales and every Sunday morning for the flea market. I have an arsenel of hunting and fishing stuff that would take care of ten men. For pennies on the dollar. Shop wisely my friends. And the vintage stuff goes on ebay for dollars on the penny :)

Title: Re: Dick's considers removing hunting gear all together
Post by: Jagger0502 on Dec 13, 2018, 08:39 AM
I don’t think we can say they are anti gun if they currently sell guns so saying they are anti gun is not a good argument. Once they stop selling them I will be the first to call them anti gun liberals against our basic rights to protect ourselves, might even wear a T-shirt “Dicks are Anti Guns and I am Anti Dicks”

They might be anti guns for the people but are all for making money on them. Saying they are not pro gun is surely true. But a store that makes profit off of guns but is known to not be pro gun is simply selling guns and not standing by the right for their customers to own them. It’s nonsense in my mind. Purely in it for profit and not in it to stand by the customers rights. Anyone that pays for a gun knowing their money will go to lobbying against future purchases needs some better education on the matter.

For the record I have not stepped foot in their store since the day they pulled the ARs off the rack. Same for field and stream. It’s against my belief to donate my money to a company that will use that money to try to restrict my gun rights.

You are right. I can’t disagree they are antigun except that they sell them... for now. So I guess antigun but also willing to sell them makes it convoluted. So from that stance I 100% agree with you. It’s like a drug dealer against drugs. We are addicted to guns (I know I am) and they are ok selling them to us but they don’t agree with us having them. All I know is I won’t spend my money there knowing that.

You right Trapper as far as contacting them to voice my opinion . I'll admit I'm not very proactive . Your correct on their RIGHT not to sell guns or anything else . But , when they hired 3 Anti-Gun lobbyists in Washington DC , trying to take away my Constitutional 2nd Amendment Rights ?  Yes , I now take it personally . I will make sure their stance is known on ALL outdoor forums . They already took a  ( 12% ? ) hit in their bottom line last quarter because of their Anti-Gun stance . Thus the reason for getting out of the sporting goods line in Dicks .
