Did George say if he was gonna have a big sale on their items before closing?

 That is a shame have bought from them a couple times and talked to George on the phone as well, great guy to deal with. Hope he has a long, fun retirement!

I am sorry to hear that.  I would end up buying something from them nearly every year and getting the catalog in the mail got me really fired up for the season.

I always looked forward receiving catalog. Like unwrapping the first Christmas gift.
They were an example of great customer service.

A sign of the times I guess, this company will be missed, one of the only companies dedicated to supply the needs of wild turkey hunters. Have been keeping the catalog for years and it follows the new generations of call makers over time. I hope a company steps in, another like it and not a big box store online. With the small number of dedicated turkey hunters, I'm afraid companies like Midwest will be going out like the Dodo Bird. We'll have to rely on the likes of The Turkey Hunting Forum to keep us apprised of the calls and esoteric stuff we need for turkey hunting such as vests, guns, chokes, camo clothes, gloves, face masks, turkey hunting books and the like. Midwest will be missed, like a good friend gone.......
We wait all year,why not enjoy the longbeard coming in hunting for a hen, let 'em' in close !!!

Man that stinks.  One of the most nostalgic catalogs ever with a wide range of good turkey stuff.

Yoder. He has thought about selling it but nothing has worked out so far. You interested  give him a call. I agree it would be nice if some one took over and offered the same stuff.  Not a big box chain
