Almost every Buc-ee's I've been to (there is one exception) sold deer stands, blinds, bait, and camouflage clothing. They're definitely intended to be hunting supply stores.

I generally have friends from work who are at least 10 years older than me but I'm usually the oldest person in the dojo. It used to concern me, but I've learned to not be afraid of being the young guy or the old guy in the room. It's useful to have a range of perspectives.
Now that I'm running out of middle age, I've noticed that a lot of men, when they hit about 30 or so, just stop doing anything social. It's necessary to be intentional about starting and maintaining friendships. But it's worth the effort.

I try to avoid wandering the aisles during Buc-ee's stops because, yes, I would want to spend money. Go in, use the bathroom, buy coffee, then leave.
Another strong selling point: there are many full-staffed registers open. I've never had to wait in line longer than 30 seconds.
