Cabelas, Bass Pro, Gander Mt., any of the box stores are K Mart dressed in camo. They have their redeeming qualities, such as the occassional hot staff member and their staggering displays, but other than that you are better off going to a local store that specializes in hunting gear.

The main reason I go is to take my son because he loves the displays and the fish tanks. Sometimes I'll buy some videos from there, but normally they get my money online.

The one good thing abouthavingone in my area is for treestands. You can a lot more about seeing a stand in person than in a catalog and it saves on shipping. They all have a better selection than local stores as well.

If you're looking for a good deal, they're not the place to go, but they are good at what they do.
