In a press release issued Tuesday along with the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report, Dick’s confirmed that it would be removing the hunting departments sometime “in fiscal 2020,” though there was no specific time frame announced.

I can imagine this for a good and a bad reason

Good reason:
They sell everything at field and stream so why duplicate it

Bad reason
SJW guns bad

To be fair, they're probably doing this because they pissed off the hunting crowd and sales of hunting gear are in the toilet.

They will be in reorganization within a year, full bankruptcy a couple years later. Their Board is in full suicide mode.

That actually makes sense. Since their gun control BS I am sure the inventory turns in all hunting areas of the store has declined. They have lost that market so why dedicate floor space to it?

They can convert those areas to women's sports bras and do better.
