I have to say, I'm totally surprised by the comments here... I had a feeling that you guys were gonna totallyrip into me for daring to criticize Cabela's. We all remember back when there was no online shopping cart, no brick-and-mortar store, and when you got your Fall Cabela's Catalog - it was like the mailman had stopped at the mailbox and left you a personalized note from Jesus himself. The Cabelas and Gander catalogs were a way of life for us...

Seems almost sacriligious for meto take a shot across their bow, but I can't change the way I feel about it.

It just seems to me that they're getting a little carried away with profit margins and getting a little too big for their britches. Maybe their corporate structure is a little topheavy, or maybe they're just gluttoning up everything in sight, getting while the gettin's good... Either way, I'm done with Cabela's for a while. That whole experience was a little souring.

Makes me feel a little better that I'm not the only guy who they've rubbed the wrong way.
