Where to buy U.S.A made hunting equipment??

[Craig]

I know you are talking about hunting equipment, but my son and his family are over in Singapore and his wife says almost everything she picks up is made in the USA. Maybe you need to travel over seas to by made in the USA products.

So are Wilderness Pack Specialties ... Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Some Danner boots are made overseas, some are made in Oregon.

The Pendleton Wool shirts used to be made here in Oregon, my wife worked at the Pendleton factory right out of high school. Some of it still is, but some is being sewn in China I suspect. Find the older shirts at Goodwill, they'll be made in the USA.

Last 3 vehicles I've owned:

Ford F150... made in Canada

Dodge Ram 2500... made in Mexico

Toyota Tundra... made in USA!

[Shedrock]

Pronghorn and Yellowstone bows made in Wyoming.

My hunting truck, a Toyota Tundra, made in USA.

My Gov work trucks, chevys, fords, and dodges, all from mexico or canada. Nothing wrong with Canada though, Canada rocks!

Bison Gear packs made in USA.

VPA and Woodsman heads are made in USA.

The deer, elk, antelope, lions, turkeys, sheep, bears, ect, that we hunt, made in USA!

Part of the reason SO many things are now made overseas is because our Congress has raised the corporate tax to the point it is the highest in the world.....the highest government tax on manufactured goods on planet earth....

If you have a company that makes stuff, you either pay a hugely exhorbitant tax to the government or you have it made somewhere else, then pay to ship it back so you can sell it.

Simple economics......for example:

I tried to outfit my Division Snipers with Eberlestock rucksacks cause they're awesome, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO cause they're not made in the USA. Because if they were they would cost over a thousand bucks each and no one would buy them.  

AND, in their infinite wisdom, Congress has passed a thing called the Berry Amendment, which forbids any government purchase of tactical nylon stuff (packs)not made in the USA!!!

It's awesome how they create the problem, then get involved to "fix it" and make it exponentially worse......

[GingivitisKahn]

For cutlery, Becker and ESEE knives are American made as are (I believe) the knives offered by Fred Asbell and the knives / hawks offered by Ron LaClair.  For folders, have a look at Buck, some of the Spydercos, Zero Tolerance, etc.

[instinctivebowman]

all clark broadheads products are 100% made in the USA

[Blackhawk]

I wanted to do some stump shooting in the snow, so went shopping for snow shoes.  Yeah, lots of Chinese stuff, but the one pair I chose was "Red Feather"...and made in USA.

Yep...buy American when you can.

That is simply not true.  80% of all the parts in the Toyota Tundra are  made  in America.

 http://wot.motortrend.com/top-10-trucks-suvs-vans-north-american-parts-content-67961.html

The midsize Dodge Dakota, at 84 percent, has just a bit more North American content  than the full-size Toyota Tundra, at 80 percent.  The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon come in third, with 75 percent. For those who are curious, the 2011 report shows the Ram truck at 70 percent, the Chevrolet Silverado at 61 percent, and the Ford F-Series at 60 percent.

Just so you Folks Know Carhartt !!??         I buy nothing except Red Wing Workboots they are worth every extra penny you pay for them. They last! However some of their shoes are also being made in CHINA now so check the label before purchasing. By the way my 2003 Toyota Tacoma was made in California by U.S. Auto Workers.           Summit Tree Stands are made in the U.S.A.! Mohawk Longbows are Made in the U.S.A.

Some come from old nut orchards, and some are on the beach, or in our own mountain ranges. We have some beautiful domestic hardwoods right here in the USA. Even fruit woods are beautiful.

but you are talking exotics... and a lot of the exotic hardwoods are imported in raw form and are milled and dried right here before bowyer's purchase them from American companies.

You guys think you got it bad. I try to buy Canadian when I can...which is virtually never. :/

Stick and Limbs camo is made by Clarksfield Outdoors in MN. Good quality stuff and their turkey vest is a steal for the price. I like predator camo, but all their stuff is made somewhere else and carries a higher price tag!!
Their turkey vest is offered here for $90 and not a bit better than the american one. I don't like to pay the same or even much higher prices for something that was made with "slave" labor wages and no environmental standards.

Dont forget the food you take to camp. Buy your fruits, vegatables and even meat from local growers. The price is often the same or even less and the difference in flavor will amaze you. for example most of the tomatoes in your local supecenter grocery store probably came from mexico picked before they were ripe as much as 6 weks ago and "truck ripened" on the way to your town.

Buying locally also benifits the local economy as the growers use some of your money to buy fertilizer, feed and other stuff locally creating more local jobs.

I agree with you Kirk.  Imported goods, shipped to American businesses, and then sold to Americans.  Not a thing wrong with that.

[barebow17]

What I was trying to say is if you buy a product that says made in the USA it should be just that. Not assembled in the USA with materials from other countries.

[ELKDUDE07]

Horn Hunter packs are awesome!!! Made in USA
