What I read in the Billings Gazette, is that some of the smaller stores like the ones in Billings may be sold to Bass Pro. I didn't assume that meant all of Cabela's stores nationwide, but then again, I didn't go to page whatever for the rest of the story.
I myself spend more money at the Scheel's store!
For what it's worth, I have not ever been in a Bass Pro, but my friends that have, prefer Cabela's over Bass Pro anytime!!

I will say however, Cabela's almost single handedly kept the company I worked for in business off and on over the years making the beautiful laminated beams and trusses in their superstores.

Just rambling,

PS The company I worked for for over 40 years just closed it doors after 60+ years. Timberweld Mfg. Co Inc.
