RE: Gander Mountain
i really dont care for them all too much. yes they have a good selection and things that arent seen at Dicks or Walmart etc, but they cant compete with Cabelas and bass pros popping up like wild fire. they fall between a Dicks sporting goods and a bass pro/cabelas. they carry a bit of everything. when i went it was after turkey and trout season. i went there for turkey loads and trout flys! lol. when i got turkeys and trout on the brain i like to get my gun patterned for next year while its still handy, and like to keep trout fishing or pick up flys that i want for next year. they do have a bigger selection of everything. nice store, i was just expecting more. the one i went to had pretty decint customer service. i asked about the stuff i was looking for and they were honest. told me i was past the season and wont see it till next spring. summer stuff, then fall/winter stuff. pretty seasonal just like Dicks or walmart. where i dont think cabelas or bass pro would be so seasonal. if i want turkey loads i want turkey loads dangit!! if i want turkey calls to start breaking in i want turkey calls!! thats where i think the bigger stores shine. im actually looking forward to going back to gander mountain. i bought turkey track decals and ran them diagnal across my back window of my SUV with dark privacy tint. looks good. now i want deer tracks going in the other direction so they cross in the middle and liked their product the best. a few guys i know have them but they dont look as good as mine.
