As of Dec. 18th this is a done deal. All of my trophy application TAGS services will now be in the hands of Worldwide Trophy Adventures (WTA).

Ever heard of them? Anyone use these folks for tag applications?

John.

No, this is a FACT. They sold it and I know this to be true because I called them about it.

Now, the question is for those thousands of people who use Cabelas TAGS etc. they now need to use Worldwide Trophy Adventures- Who has ever heard of these guys?

You misunderstood what Lee wrote. Another indicator might have been Cabelas selling their real estate wing to Sports Afield some time ago.

Thank you EdM; you're right. My bad. Yes, it shows that they're selling off all of their non-core assets to (re)focus on the retail operations.

Really interesting...

Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures and Trophy Application Guide Service are getting a new owner. In a Cabela’s communication Friday, CEO Tommy Millner announced that Mark Peterson of Worldwide Trophy Adventures is acquiring the travel-related business. This was not unexpected, as Cabela’s announced earlier this year it was seeking a strategic partner to purchase the business.

According to Millner’s announcement, as the businesses ownership transitions to Peterson, WTA will maintain an office in Sidney, and all OA and T.A.G.S. employees will either stay with Cabela’s or be offered a job with WTA.

Millner also said that under the agreement, customers of the travel and guide services will receive the same perks as when it was a Cabela’s owned business, including using and earning Cabela’s Club points and redeeming gift cards. Millner said Cabela’s executive leadership team is “confident that it will be a smooth transition for our valued customers and, most importantly, the Outfitters that make OA and T.A.G.S. an industry leader.”

I did, too. And I've never expressed any interest in T.A.G.S. Nor am I a great customer of Cabelas.
