We decided to go visit Bruce Conkey today

I wanted to give my wife some time by herself, so I loaded my 3 year old daughter Emily and my 1 year old son Eric up, and we took the 45 minute drive to Conkey's Hound and Hunting Supply in Hastings, Fl. When we arrived, there was a nice couple purchasing a few DC-40's. Bruce has them on sale for $180. After they left (satisfied I might add), another gentleman entered the new store to purchase some Tri-Tronics accessories. Again, when he opened the shiny glass door to leave, he was satisfied, and happy to have his needed training aides for the upcoming deer dog season. Bruce was steadily answering the phone to help customers as well as the people entering his storefront. He actually leased the building next to his showroom so he could display the tree stands and dogboxes he sells.

He and I discussed the new Garmin Alpha systems, and I decided to leave with a system for myself. We must have shot the breeze for 2-3 hours. I even got to meet his granddaughter who had come to "help" out for the day. Bruce has some nice new "T" shirts he recently had printed up. My kids played around those shirts the whole time. Bruce took the time to talk with my children, and I found that to be really refreshing. Bruce's grandson (who works for Bruce), was at the UKC YOUTH event with Bruce's "Conkey mobile" to help out anyway he could. Bruce really does a lot for children looking to hunt. We all know Conkey's has great customer service, but what makes Bruce stand out is the fact he genuinely cares for those he is helping. Give Conkey's a chance to impress you, and you'll leave very pleased.

With that said NOW I know WHO has all the answers to the Garmin Questions. (speaker phone) ha,ha. in house joke.
Thanks again Bruce for all the help. H L meyer

Been playing with this Alpha, and I'm sold. It is the goods. I've owned Garmin Astro 220, 320, DC-30's, and DC-40's. I really like this new Alpha system.

.

Thanks Guys. Having a store has been a blessing in many ways. Not only to serve you better but I have had several customers that vacation at the beach take the short drive over and visit. Lucky to have John help me out. He left the store about 20 minutes ago with a 10 Dog Alpha system he is delivering about 40 miles from here and he is going to stay and get the customer set up and give some instructions on how to use it. We try hard to do what is right but by even doing that, sometimes with fall a little short.

Wildeyed you get the Woods and Water Magazine for the area? We have either a full page or half page ad in about every publication.


Posted by Josh Farnsworth on 09-12-2012 10:13 PM:

Bruce,

I'll be by in the morning to stop in and say hey. I've got a meeting over that way to tend to.

. Yes sir, I sell them at work. But to be honest I don't pay much attention to anything but "kennys corner", that aint smart and the pictures. I manage "sapps pawn, gun and archery" in Gainesville and have for ten years. But I will definatly be gettin over there to see yall real soon.

Wildeyed,
When I was in college over that way, I used to go in Sapp's about 3 times a week just to hang out. Back then, Butch and Stan handled the front, and Jason and Mike handled the back. Took Mike bow hunting one afternoon. I killed 2 deer and he saw a few nubby bucks follow our Tink's 69 scent trail around like beagles on a wounded bunny. He took the bow section over when Jason went to Bear archery. Any of those guys still working over there?

. Butch is still the owner. Stan quit about 11 years ago. Mike is a medic in levy county and Jason got killed in a car wreck about 5 years ago. (RIP). I took over the archery dept ten years ago and pretty much run the whole store.If any of yall ever get around my way, stop in and say hi

Bo,

That is some bad news on Jason. I know he had at least one little one. What a shame. Tell the other guys that Josh says hey if you see them.
