Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Observations at Cabelas tonight

Closest store is 254 miles in Reno :-(

No! Just Ernest Hemingway in the African Section, Howard Hill in the Archery Section, and we'll settle for Jack O'Connor in the Rocky Mountain area, and Elmer Keith in the revolver department!!

Hey pard. It's been awhile. We should get together during my next stay.

I just noticed the PSA store the last time I hit Costco. Those guys have done very well. Someone told me the Barrett brothers were part of that setup. That whole Magnolia Park project area is gonna be something else. Seems the only escape is the Paris Mountain side of town and rumor has it that's the next to go totally big box.

Can't wait for Cabelas.

Whitmire, here I come.:-)

I agree, they have become the walmart of the outdoors world. I never could understand how people can order hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of hunting gear each year. I pop into the one in rapid city once in a while, mostly so my son can watch the fish, on occasion I'll pick up some field points or maybe a lb of powder. last year I picked up a blind that was on sale because I had some gift cards to burn there. there comes a time when you have to ask yourself, how much schit do you need?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I use the same gear year after year.

Elmer is in the Boise store.

Im headed to Hamburg Sunday to experience all that joy.

Jump on I 78 east and it's an easy drive to NY/NJ. Head the other way, catch 83 south in Harrisburg and Baltimore ain't far away. Add in Reading, Philly and Lancaster, you've got millions of people within 2 hrs or so of Hamburg.

I've been there when busloads of people are arriving. I'm trusting to memory but I think they said 7 million people went through the doors the first year they were open. With that many, it's for damn sure they weren't all old white guys!

I've been getting the hard cover "collector's edition" ever since the first one that came out.

I wish we had one nearby; a BassPro about an hour and a half away is as close as it gets. BUT there's always the internet....just a mouse click away.

I bought a Remington 700 Custom from the Billings store over the internet a while back and was thoroughly pleased with the transaction. When I called to give my credit card info, the fellow I talked to made a special effort to ask if I was aware of a slight blemish on the finish that didn't really stand out in their photos. I had seen it but was impressed with their honesty anyway.

I just got done making my shopping kist for cabelas this weekend however i always spend time cruising the used gun racks occasionally an excellent deal can be found. This trip is primarily for goose decoys. 13 dozen just doesnt seem like enough

I generally shop at the Lacey,WA Cabelas as it's close to Joint Base Lewis/McCord so they give a 5 or 10% discount if you have a Military ID, active duty or retired at that store.

Hamburg!

My Dad always said "We should have captured Hitler and sent him to Hamburg...and not given him any snuff!"
